A scoping review of instruments measuring the implementation of the Health-Promoting School approach
The Health-Promoting School (HPS) is a holistic approach that addresses not only the curriculum but also policies, the physical and social school environment, and the school’s external environment. Given its complexity in implementation, evidence on effectiveness is mixed. Adequately measuring the implementation of the approach is therefore essential for research and practice. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of instruments tha…
School principals’ Covid-19 health literacy and its association with mental health
School principals are prone to mental health problems due to work demands. During the COVID-19 pandemic, school principals were additionally tasked with managing challenging responsibilities, i.e. implementing hygiene regulations, communicating frequent policy updates, and transitioning to online teaching. This international study aimed to assess school principals’ COVID-19 health literacy (HL) levels as a resource during the pandemic and to exam…
The importance of school leaders in school health promotion. A European call for systematic integration of health in professional development
School leaders such as principals are key not only for educational and school quality but also for initiating and sustainably anchoring any innovation in schools. Although there is widespread agreement about the importance of holistic approaches to school health promotion, the role of principals has received increased, but not yet systematic, attention. In this context, it is unclear which leadership competencies are needed and to what extent the…
The Co-production of Pupils in the Health Promoting Schools Programmes – A Cross-sectional Survey Study in Polish Primary and Secondary Schools
The concept of Health Promoting Schools (HPS) aims to cause the desired changes in the health of the whole school community. Simultaneously, pupils are among the most important actors in the school setting. The successful implementation of the HPS idea depends on pupils’ active participation and contribution – which can be considered in the context of co-production services. It is based on the assumption that the effectiveness of services depends…
Self-endangering Work Behaviour of Polish School Principals During the Coronavirus Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the work-related demands grew dramatically for school principals, and many experienced overwork, pressure, and stress. An adopted form of a coping reaction by workers who experience large workloads and strong demands for self-organisation has been conceptualised as self-endangering work behaviour (SEWB). This study focuses on three SEWB subscales: work extensification, work intensification, and the reduction in the q…
Work-Related Stress of Polish School Principals during the Covid-19 Pandemic as a Risk Factor for Burnout
Almost 50% of school principals experienced a lack of control that caused anger and stress. Mental and physical exhaustion during the pandemic was often or always felt by 30% of respondents. Nearly half of Polish school principals experienced psychosomatic complaints in the form of muscle pain and headaches. PH, to a greater extent than PSE, was associated with mental and physical exhaustion and psychosomatic complaints. With age, the level of ps…
