School teachers require better training and resources for sun awareness education. Improving teacher knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors is crucial for effective sun safety programs for children.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Education
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • School children are key targets for sun awareness education.
  • Teacher knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sun awareness are not well understood.
  • Effective sun safety education in schools relies on informed teachers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess school teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning sun awareness.
  • To identify gaps in resources and training for sun awareness education among teachers.
  • To inform the development of targeted interventions for teachers.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 76 school teachers.
  • The survey assessed prior experience, resource availability, and perceptions of sun awareness importance.

  • Attitudes and behaviors related to sun protection were evaluated.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 24% of teachers had prior experience teaching sun awareness.
    • A significant majority (93%) lacked classroom resources for sun awareness education.
    • Teachers perceived sun awareness as less important than other health topics, indicating a need for improved attitudes and behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • Teachers need enhanced information on sun exposure risks and protective measures.
    • Interventions should focus on simple messages about shade, clothing, and hats.
    • Supporting teachers is vital for successful school-based sun safety initiatives.
