“…They may be able to apply their individual-level abilities (to find, understand, critically reflect, and apply health-related information) to an organisational context to support a variety of activities on school health promotion. Thus, our findings somewhat contradict the results of the study by Lai et al [43], in which health literacy was not associated with the intention of teachers, to implement health literacy instruction within the following year. However, it should be noted that the health literacy measurement and its underpinning model as used by Lai et al was based on a different concept of health literacy than in our study.…”

Besides these few quantitative studies, qualitative research also illuminates the critical influence that teachers have on schoolchildren's health literacy learning in schools.…”

Teachers' motivations and competencies, someway, determine learning effectiveness and their ability in promoting health literacy to their students (Lai, Wu, Lee, & Jhang, 2018). For this very reason, in today's outbreak situation, the role of education field is vital (Bakhtiar, 2016;Barennes, Harimanana, Lorvongseng, Ongkhammy, & Chu, 2010;Karlsen, Mehli, Wahl, & Staberg, 2015;Pogreba-Brown, Ernst, & Harris, 2012;Yang, Park, Lee, & Lee, 2019).…”
