| Summary: | 碩士 === 美和技術學院 === 健康照護研究所 === 93 === The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fever knowledge of teachers in kindergarten. A self-constructed questionnaire was used. Three hundred and fifty one teachers in Pingtung County were enrolled. All the participants were female. The main source of fever information was from health professions and media (37%); the self perceived most correct source was health professions (83.2%). Most of the teachers (81%) had not attended lecture about children fever. There were significant differences between marital status (p = .003), age (p = .000), whether had child or not (p = .017), and main source of fever knowledge. Significant differences were found between teachers had child or not (p = .030), age of the teacher (p = .008) and ever attended related lecture of childhood fever. The average score of body temperature knowledge was 6.37 and of fever management was 10.54. Differrnt in marital stature(p = .002)、had child or not (p = .004)、age(p = .048 ) and working year (p = .004) had significant in score in fever knowledge. Teachers with age between 41-50 year old had higher score than those age between 21-30 year old (p = .007). Those with working year between 11-15 years (p = .002), with main source of fever information (p = .002) and perceived most correct source was health professions (p = .038) had the highest score in knowledge about body temperature. Higher score in total score of fever knowledge was those with health profession as the main source of fever information (p = .003). If the main source of fever knowledge was from health professions (p = .003) and those had joined lecture about fever (p = .000) had a higher score in knowledge of body temperature.
The result of this study showed that inadequacy of fever knowledge among kartargarten teachers. The teachers perceived most correct information about fever was from health profession. However, only 19% of the teachers received lecture about child fever. We suggested that health profession should provide more information to teacher of kindergarten.
