Abstract
AIM
This study examined the participation in health-promoting measures by teachers and the perceived fit between offers and subjective needs from the teachers' perspective.
METHODS
In the academic year 2017/18, questionnaire-based data were collected at schools in the German state of Brandenburg (n=830). The teachers answered questions about the use, offer and subjective need regarding health-promoting measures.
RESULTS
81.3% of teachers had participated in one or more health-promoting measures in the past 24 months. We found no significant differences in age, gender, type and sponsorship of school. In most subjects of health promotion, teachers indicated a considerably higher need for such measures compared to the perceived offer. From the teachers' point of view, there was a particular need for measures to change individual behavior and the health-promoting design of the schools and classrooms.
CONCLUSION
When implementing prevention measures, the fit between offers and subjective needs from the teachers' point of view should be given greater consideration.
