Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of smoking prevention programs in schools by the teachers.

The survey was conducted from December 30, 2015 to October 31, 2016 by web survey in Gyeonggi-do in Korea. The subjects of the study were 95 health teachers working in 95 elementary, middle and high schools in Gyeonggi Province. The analysis of the study was conducted using the SPSS 23.0 Windows version program, and the analysis was performed using frequency analysis and chi-square test.

The perceptions of health teachers on school smoking prevention programs differ according to the type of school, which is the structural environmental characteristic of the school where the health teacher works, and the designation of smoking cessation in the school.

As a result of this study, it is considered that it is necessary to establish an in-school smoking cessation environment such as designation of smoking cessation in school, smoking counseling, and smoking prevention program that affects the level of perception of smoking cessation by school teachers.
