“…Our research found that scores of child health knowledge of female preschool teachers were lower than male preschool teachers, which was different from the results without gender difference in other health knowledge scores or awareness of other preschool teachers, 31 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 45 , 46 but was similar to the results of a study in Greece regarding health knowledge of infant diabetes. 47 This finding suggests that male teachers may possess greater health knowledge in the group of preschool teachers, and it may also be due to the fact that male preschool teachers in China act as physical education teachers or health education personnel in kindergartens, and as a result, their health knowledge scores are higher.…”

“…As the previous studies showed that sociodemographic characteristics and health-related arrangements and kindergarten regulations may have different effects on the knowledge. 22,[31][32][33] The following set of models was used: (i) Model 1 adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, which include gender, fertility status, age, education level, marital status, working years, monthly income, BMI, and satisfaction with health; (ii) Model 2 adjusted for health-related arrangements and kindergarten regulations, which include supportive measures for kindergartens and (iii) Model 3 further adjusted for all variables in Model 1 and Model 2. After analysis, it was determined that Model 3 was the most optimal.…”

Aim This research aims to explore the health knowledge mastery of preschool teachers in Chongqing. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of preschool teachers in Chongqing was conducted by random sampling. A total of 399 preschool teachers were included in this research. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors on preschool teachers’ mastery of preschool child health knowledge. Results This research found that the average score of preschool teacher’s knowledge of preschool children was only 34.01±0.78, and the accuracy of the knowledge points of continuous short-distance eye use time was the lowest, at less than 5%. The conducting of eye exercises by the kindergarten and the scores of preschool teachers were negatively correlated (β=−0.257, p<0.001); the score of health knowledge of preschool teachers of the kindergarten whose screen time met the standard was lower (β=−0.113, p=0.017); whether the time and frequency for outdoor activities of the kindergarten met the standards and the health knowledge score of preschool teachers was positively correlated (β=0.130, p<0.001 vs β=0.163, p<0.001). Male preschool teachers and teachers overweight according to BMI had higher scores for preschool health knowledge (β=−0.114, p=0.016 vs β=0.099, p=0.034). Conclusion Preschool teachers in Chongqing had a poor grasp of knowledge regarding preschool children’s health, and in particular, knowledge of children’s exercise and eye use. Educational background and work experience may no longer indicate preparedness for teaching these topics, and suggests that supportive measures can also be directly provided at the kindergarten level in the future to increase the health knowledge of preschool teachers.
