- Abstract
Occupational health problems are very common among teachers and can have serious consequences for a teacher’s life. Much research has been done on the occupational health of teachers, and has analysed its types, causes, prevention and effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge of Chinese primary teachers in dealing with occupational health problems. This study adopted a mixed methodology and conducts quantitative and qualitative analysis in the form of a questionnaire. Teachers from a public primary school in Ningxia Province, China, participated in this study, and a total of 73 questionnaires were used for analysis.The results show that Chinese primary school teachers as a whole have a relatively good knowledge of dealing with occupational health problems, regardless of age and years of work, and there is no significant difference between males and females. However, some information about occupational health is poorly understood by teachers. Many teachers suffer from two or more occupational health problems at the same time, and they expressed a desire to participate in training on occupational health care.
