- Abstract
- The study investigated perceived effectiveness and perceived barriers to health education curriculum targeting school nurses as health teachers in Korea. A total of 741 health teachers participated. The questionnaire included perceived effectiveness and perceived barriers to health education curriculum, future roles of health teachers, and needs for in-service training programs. The most frequently selected perceived barrier was a lack of personnel to serve in the health clinic when the nurse was teaching, although 60.9-61.7% wanted to continue both duties of health education and school health services. Perceived effectiveness of health education was positively associated with duration of teaching career (p < .05). Elementary school health teachers had higher perceived effectiveness than those in middle and high schools, while those with bachelor's degrees had lower perceived effectiveness than those with master's degrees (p < .05). In-service training and efforts to decrease the perceived barriers would help to offer effective health education.
