Background: Children are affected by food allergies more than adults, so teachers have the most significant responsibility for food allergy management in schools.
Objective: To determine the effect of food allergies and anaphylaxis management training on Turkish teachers’ self-efficacy.
Material and methods: In this study, 90 teachers were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected before and immediately after the training on School Personnel’s Self-Efficacy in Managing Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis at School Scale. A training program that consisted of 60-minute sessions was conducted. Data were evaluated using the paired samples t-test.
Results: There was a significant difference between the teachers’ self-efficacy levels before (22.76±8.94) and after the training (32.81±6.09), and self-efficacy levels significantly increased (p < .05).
Conclusions: The training increased the teachers’ self-efficacy in managing food allergies and anaphylaxis.
