“…Gonzalez-Mancebo (2018) analyzed teachers, cooks, dining-room monitors, and summer-camp leaders from a food allergy training session to monitor their rates of self-efficacy. As with Tsuang et al (2018), as a whole, the mean score for all eight tested concepts of food allergy training improved significantly before and after training. 90.9% received correct answers after training (Gonzalez-Mancebo, 2018).…”

“…Attitude increased from 78% to 85%; confidence increased from 81% to 86%. 18% of participants scored a perfect score after training, however, the lowest confidence score remained on recognizing symptoms of anaphylaxis (Tsuang et al, 2018). Although confidence in recognizing anaphylaxis symptoms remained low, the results illustrate that training sessions have positive, lasting effects on knowledge, attitude, and confidence.…”

“…Furthermore, many researchers studied the increase in self-efficacy for teachers before and after administered food allergy training sessions. Tsuang et al (2018) assessed knowledge, attitude, and confidence levels regarding food allergy and anaphylaxis management, which was administered to nurses who were asked to repeat the survey every six months throughout the two years after the session. After training, the nurse's knowledge score always remained higher than the pre-training score of 77%.…”

“…Additionally, 15 percent of school-aged children have had an allergic reaction while at school, which for many is the first allergic reaction that the child has experienced (FARE, n.d.). Therefore, nurses, teachers, and staff of each school are expected to properly manage food allergies and anaphylaxis for students (Tsuang et al, 2018). Presently, the United States has voluntary guidelines for schools and education programs on how to properly manage student's food allergies.…”

Food allergy training for teachers remains an important, but commonly overlooked, aspect of education as millions of children have been diagnosed with food allergies. Therefore, it is pertinent teachers receive food allergy training that is most beneficial in growing a teacher's understanding for teachers to be best suited in correctly helping food allergic students. Four food allergy training methods: hands-on in-person (actual handling of epinephrine), non-hands in-person, group video, and individual video, and their effects on the self-efficacy of participants is the focus of this study. Teachers were contacted from within the city of Chicago, both public and private, and from a mixture of food allergy training methods and were administered an online survey which asked questions pertaining to their food allergy knowledge, perception, and self-efficacy. Participants were given statements to which they would respond on a five-point Likert scale, scored using a chi-square test. Ultimately, the hypothesis that teachers who engaged in hands-on in-person would showcase higher levels of self-efficacy, due to higher levels of engagement, was not supported. While several statements proved significant after data analysis, there was not enough significance to prove a meaningful relationship between the self-efficacy and training method.

“…Compared with other studies on the management of anaphylaxis, this project varied in a few aspects. Similar pieces of training were conducted among teachers [7], childcare personnel [8], school nurses [9,10], unlicensed assistive personnel [11] or medical students [12,13] in other countries, but not among medical students in Poland. The training sessions were delivered by physicians or psychologists and were longer, whereas in this case, self-educated students delivered less time-consuming training.…”

Allergies are among the most common chronic diseases in Europe. The most serious complication is anaphylactic shock. Most cases occur outside the hospital; thus, knowledge of symptoms and first aid is crucial. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness of anaphylaxis and the ability to use adrenaline auto-injectors among medical students, and to determine an improvement after training based on non-formal education. The research was conducted among 364 medicine students (years 1–5) from the Medical University of Gdańsk, with year-specific curriculum-based general medical knowledge. Training consisted of pre-test, practical training and post-test. Descriptive statistics were used to reveal the characteristics of students from different grades. A Mann–Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. The tested students did not have sufficient knowledge to provide first aid in cases of anaphylaxis before training. There was an increase in knowledge (on average, 28.6%, p = 0.005) after training. Almost all (99.4%) of the respondents believed that they would be able to use an adrenaline auto-injector in case of emergency after the training. The training based on non-formal education was effective. The use of the subject-performed task method helped students to remember the stages of action in stressful situations.
