Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors relating to COVID-19 knowledge and resilience that impact elementary school health teacher performance at infection control.
Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 140 elementary school health teachers by convenience sampling. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS Ver. 26.0.
Results: Mean scores were as follows COVID-19 knowledge 17.99±2.37 (range 0-23), resilience 120.36±16.90 (range 30?150), and performance at infection control 85.91±10.07 (range 25?100).
A positive correlation was observed between resilience and infection control performance (r=0.57, p<.001). Factors found to influence participant performance at infection control were resilience (β=0.54, p<.001) and two categories of educational experience: 11?15 years (β = 0.24, p=.011) and more than 20 years (β=0.29, p=.044).
Conclusion: These results indicate the resilience of elementary school health teachers positively affects their performance at infection control. Generally, both age and work experience affected ability to perform infection control.
Therefore, this study supports the need to develop programs to increase the resilience of elementary school health teachers according to infection control performance and age.
