| description | Introduction
Numerous studies of school-based smoking prevention programs
(SSPPs) exist; however, most have been conducted from the students' perspective,
and insufficient research has explored teachers' perceptions. Our study aimed
to identify factors affecting overall satisfaction and operational status from the
perspective of teachers participating in the SSPP.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study analyzing data from a survey regarding
the operation of an SSPP conducted by the Korea Health Promotion Institute in
2022. The study sample comprised 669 teachers involved in the SSPP: 215 from
elementary schools, 212 from middle schools, and 242 from high schools. To
identify factors influencing teachers’ overall satisfaction, independent variables
were categorized into three types of factors: personal, school, and teacher
perceptions. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed for each factor to
test the independent association.
Results
For elementary school teachers, as the necessity of smoking prevention
and cessation education (β=0.292; 95% CI: 0.182–0.382) increased, the overall
satisfaction with the operation of the SSPP significantly improved. Similarly, for
middle school teachers, as the necessity of smoking prevention and cessation
education (β=0.231; 95% CI: 0.104–0.336) increased, the overall satisfaction
significantly improved. Conversely, for high school teachers, the effectiveness
(β=0.347; 95% CI: 0.184–0.520) was the variable that significantly improved
overall satisfaction with the SSPP operation. The variables affecting teacher
satisfaction across all school levels were the necessity of smoking prevention
and cessation education, the effectiveness of the SSPP, and its impact on
smoking cessation among smoking students, all of which belonged to the teacher
perceptions factor.
Conclusions
Smoking education in schools requires teachers to play a crucial role.
Among participating teachers, overall satisfaction with SSPP operations and the
influencing factors differed according to school level, highlighting the importance
of careful consideration to establish a more effective operational environment
tailored to each school level. |
