Background and Objectives: Teachers have a key role in reducing the complications of emergency events. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of primary school teachers in Rafsanjan regarding emergency events of diabetes and accidents in schools.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive research was conducted on 100 primary school teachers in Rafsanjan City by census method. Data were collected in three sections of demographic information, knowledge, and attitude and behavior assessment. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test, independent two-sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA.
Results: There was a significant relationship and a direct correlation between the score of attitude towards diabetes and age (r=0.240, p=0.016) and the level of education (p=0.013), and between the score of teachers’ attitude towards accidents and age (r=0.217, p=0.030) and their behavior and age (r=0.242, p=0.015).
Conclusion: Despite the desirability of teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior score, it is recommended that the retraining program be implemented with the aim of improving the knowledge, attitude, and practice of younger teachers.
