Purpose: There is little known about teachers’ self-efficacy in health teachers even though over 75% of Korean health teachers have offered school health education. The purpose of this study was to examine factors related to teachers’ self-efficacy in Korean health teachers.
Methods: Data were collected from school nurses from 474 schools such as 236 elementary schools, 140 middle schools and 98 high schools in Seoul with the stratified random sampling method. The associations among school characteristics, health teachers’ characteristics, and teachers’ self-efficacy were examined by ANOVA (Anlaysis of variable). To identify the possible predictors of teachers’ self -efficacy, ANCOVA (Analysis of covariance) was performed.
Results: Two factors, school stage (elementary, middle or high schools) and types of school (public or private school), were significantly related to teachers’ self-efficacy. Teachers’ self-efficacy of health teachers in elementary schools was significantly higher than that in middle and high schools. Health teachers in private school had significantly higher teaching self-efficacy than ones in public school.
Conclusion: Given the fact that health teachers in elementary and private school had higher teachers’ selfefficacy, an intervention to strengthen teachers’ self-efficacy of health teachers in middle and high schools as well as ones in public school is required to help children and adolescents learn good health behaviors.
