For health education we need to understand how children recognize health and diseases, and what factors influence their recognition. Analyzed in this study were the relations between recognition of diseases and self-efficacy of 219 senior children at elementary school. The findings are as follows : 1. Of the children, who recognize that diseases are painful and should be cured, want to have knowledge of them, and feel happy when their parents are with them, "positiveness" one of the factors of self-efficacy, is strong. 2. Of those, who recognize that diseases should be cured, "fear of failure", is weak. 3. Of those who are afraid that their diseases worry their parents, brothers, and sisters and that because of them they may be separated from their family, "positioning of themselves in society", is also strong. Children can take daily care of themselves even when they are in poor health, if their self-efficacy is high. Therefore, it is important for us to encourage them to recognize diseases in such a way that their self-efficacy may heighten.
