Factor’s influencing primary teacher practices in health education, life skills, health literacy

Résumé

Background: A health-promoting school (HPS) approach was introduced over 25 years ago and has been promoted globally since; however, the aspiration of a fully embedded, sustainable HPS system has not yet been achieved, and very few countries have implemented and sustained the approach at scale. The Alliance for health aims to enact and assess the impact of a comprehensive approach to health promotion at the school and community levels. This is an intersectoral project involving regional education authorities, regional public health agency, local policy makers, researchers, and local health promotion operators. The question arises as to how to identify factors influencing teachers’ activity in wellness (WB), health education (HE), life skills (LS) and health literacy (HL)? Methods: This project involves 101 French primary schools and 97 associated municipalities in the AURA region randomly selected in an intervention and control groups. Primary school teachers were provided training, support, and resources to develop a health-promoting environment in school according to the Health-Promoting Schools framework. Primary school teachers were provided training, support, and resources to develop a health-promoting environment in school according to the Health-Promoting Schools framework. Each year, a questionnaire is distributed to teachers in order to monitor the development of their activity in the areas of WB, HE, LS and HL. 243 questionnaires are analyzed, collected from october 19 to March 20, 12 opening questions were analyzed (1591 items) in order to characterize their practices in the areas aboved. Based on this classification, factors contributing to activities were seeked by doing univariate, multivariate and exploratory factor analysis. Results: The descriptive analysis showed that factors are linked to institutional, contextual, individual and collective dimensions. The results are preliminary and the complex analysis are actually in process. Key messages: A better understanding linked to their practices in health education, health literacy, like skills and well-being is needed to develop appropriate training and support. • To develop adequate training and support in health promoting school, it's necessary to identify factors most linked to primary teacher practices in health education, like skills and health literacy.
