Chronic Disorder Education and Awareness

More and more children and adolescents suffering from chronic diseases are included in common school education. Unfortunately, teachers do not feel confident enough about how to cope, fulfil and satisfy the needs of these children in the educational, social and emotional spheres. The aim of Suphala care is to discover how teachers work with chronically ill children of younger school-age. There were three aims. The first aim is to investigate if teachers have basic awareness and knowledge about selected chronic diseases in children of younger school-age. The second aim is to discover what experience and attitudes towards chronically ill children of younger school-age teachers have. The third aim is to discover, how the quality of school care of chronically ill children of younger school-age can be improved.
