Results: The prevalence of nursery school employees with "a feeling of burden when accepting children who carry EpiPen®" was significantly lower at facilities with nurse (s). Nursery school employees who worked at a facility with children who carry EpiPen® or who had an experience of participating in training were significantly more knowledgeable. Changes in the level of knowledge were substantial among nursery school employees who worked at a facility without nurse (s) or without children who carry EpiPen® and among those who had experience participating in training.
