“…Based on the results of the present study, majority of the school personnel were from urban areas and most of them were married. These findings were similarly to Iraqi study and another study conducted in Bangladesh (20,21). These results were disagreed with the study conducted in Istanbul that less than two thirds of the studied teachers were married (18).…”

“…The current study illustrated that more than two fifths of the studied school personnel had a Bachelor's degree and postgraduate which was lower than Iranian study, where more than two thirds of the studied teachers had Bachelor's and master's degree (22). On the other hand, the finding of the present study was higher than the Iraqi study, where around one fourth of the studied teachers had Bachelor's and master's degree (20). Based on the results of the present study, the majority of the school personnel had ≥10 years of experiences which was disagreed with the study conducted in Bangladesh where around two thirds of the studied teachers had less than 10 years of experiences respectively (21).…”

Background: Epilepsy or seizure disorder is a brain disorder that diagnosed after occurrence of two or more epileptic seizures. Children are the fastest growing populations affected by epilepsy. The prevalence of idiopathic epilepsy in a current Egyptian study conducted at Ghabria governorate was 7.2/1000 among school age children. Epilepsy can affect the pupil's academic achievements and learning. Schools have to implement a protocol to assist pupils with epilepsy according to their specific needs. Study aimed to design a protocol for managing of epilepsy at the governmental primary schools. A descriptive cross sectional design was utilized in this study. The study was carried out at ten governmental primary schools affiliated to Directorate of Education in Mansoura city which had pupils with epilepsy. A convenient sample of 350 of school personnel and 72 guardians of the pupils with epilepsy. Also, a purposive sample of ten professional academic experts and 30 school personnel to provide their feedback regarding the designed protocol. Seven tools were developed by the researcher for collecting of data and designing of the protocol to assess; socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the school personnel, knowledge, previous subjective experiences and attitude of them regarding epilepsy, expectations of guardians of the pupils with epilepsy regarding school health services, experts' and school personnel's evaluation of the designed protocol. Results: all the school personnel had poor level of knowledge regarding epilepsy. The most frequent previous subjective proper management of the school personnel was cushioning the head of the pupil during the epileptic fits which represented 31.0% of them. Most of them had positive attitude toward necessity of having a school health team trained in first aid to manage epileptic fit. Regarding negative attitude, 67.1% of them suggested that only the administrative professions are suitable for the controlled pupil with epilepsy. For guardians' expectations toward school health services to their offspring with epilepsy, majority of them expected dissatisfaction with the school health services. Concerning experts' evaluation of the designed protocol, all the experts agreed the importance of the topic and the novelty of its information. For the school personnel's evaluation of the designed protocol, all the school personnel agreed coordination and clarity of the objectives. Conclusion: Designing a protocol for epilepsy within the primary schools will prepare the school personnel to manage epilepsy.

“…The difference might be due to variation in sample size and socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. On the other hand, the result of this study was lower than the studies conducted in Malaysia 77.4% (15), Iraq 95% (16), Indonesia 97% (17), and Nigeria 66.5% (17). The possible reason for this variation might be due to differences in a school setup, socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents, and variation in the measurement.…”

Background: Injuries continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed and developing world. School-age children are more likely to experience unintentional injuries in the school, while they are playing and teachers are the primarily responsible body for keeping the welfare of the students. Knowing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of kindergarten and elementary school teachers towards first aid will be used as an input for policymakers to intervene and provide training. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, practice, and associated factors towards first aid among kindergarten and elementary school teachers in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021.Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 01 to 20, 2021. A simple random sampling technique was employed to recruit 346 participants. A structured pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were entered in Epi-info version 7, analyzed using SPSS version 21, and presented by frequencies, percentages, tables, and graphs. Bivariable relationships between the independent and outcome variable were investigated using a binary logistic regression model and a multivariable analysis was run to control potential confounding factors. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered as factors significantly associated and the strength of association was determined using an odds ratio with a 95% CI.Results: Only 41.1% of the teachers had good knowledge of first aid. Nearly two-thirds (64.8%) of the teachers had a favorable attitude towards first aid. The majority (85.8%) of the teachers who faced a child in need of first aid in their school gave first aid. Factors like working experience [AOR: 2.45; 95% CI (1.26, 4.73)], school level [AOR: 4.72; 95% CI (1.96, 11.4)], school type [AOR: 4.23; 95% CI (2.07, 8.64)], and having information about first aid [AOR: 2.09; 95% CI (1.11, 3.92)] were significantly associated with knowledge. School-level [AOR = 5.4, 95% CI (2.18-11.67)], school type [AOR = 0.45, 95% CI (0.21-0.94)], and working experience [AOR = 0.33, 95% CI (0.13-0.86)] were the factors significantly associated with attitude.Conclusion: Less than half and nearly two-thirds of the teachers had good knowledge and a favorable attitude towards first aid. The majority of the teachers who encountered a child in need of first aid gave first aid. Having higher working experience, working in elementary and private schools, and having previous information increases the odds of having good knowledge. Teachers who work in elementary and private schools and have lower working experience had higher odds of favorable attitude towards first aid. It is better to give attention to the training of staff on first aid specifically for teachers working in kindergarten and governmental schools and new employees and consider integrating first aid in teachers' training curriculum.

“…In addition, there was no difference in knowledge among teachers with fewer or more years of service ((Tameem and Khudair, 2016). Alexandroupoulou (2013), in a review conducted on the evaluation of health education programs, concluded that research data suggesting that health education activities at school are effective and that the school can therefore be a health education body.…”

Article InfoPhysical education teachers are invited on a daily basis by teachers from other school specialties to give first aid to a variety of emergency and non-emergency situations during the school year. They must therefore assess the situation of the pupils and whether it is serious to call for medical assistance, to accurately recognize their problem, to give them proper immediate help, to arrange for their transfer to their home, to a doctor or to a hospital, to stay together until they come to ambulance or specialist help and finally help if they need it. A thorough review of the literature did not identify a study that explored the knowledge of physical education teachers in cardiopulmonary resuscitation at elementary schools with the European Resuscitation Council scale and this study was conducted to fill this existing research gap. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge in cardiopulmonary resuscitation of physical education teachers working in elementary schools of eastern Attica. For the purposes of the survey, the scale of the European Resuscitation Council, which consisted of 18 items relating to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures, was used. Physical education teachers were tested on the proposals for knowledge in cardiopulmonary resuscitation "right, wrong, do not know". Then the x 2 test was used to compare the education level of physical education teachers and the level of cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge. The analysis of data showed that physical education teachers were no well aware of the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, the education level did not affect their knowledge cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers, since only three from eighteen items were significant. It is concluded that physical education teachers should training in order to perform satisfactory cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
