Data were collected on December 15, 2007 and analyzed using SPSS 13.0 for Windows. Results: The mean score of awareness of importance was 3.51(range: $1{\sim}4$). The mean score of performance level and the mean score of perceived competence level were 3.35 (range: $1{\sim}4$) and 3.29 (range: $1{\sim}4$), respectively. The younger school nurses were (F=4. 380, p=. 014 ), the higher their awareness of importance was. The performance level was lowest in high school nurses (F=5.013, p=.008).
