To ascertain the health and hygiene-related conditions of school lunchrooms within the municipality of Oviedo by means of conducting a health and hygiene inspection of these facilities.
A descriptive epidemiological cross-sectional study was made of 24 schools in the municipality of Oviedo, 9 of which were government-subsidized private schools and another 15 of which were public schools, according to information from the Ministry of Education and Science. An inspection was conducted entailing a protocol based on the Public Lunchroom Health and Hygiene Regulations. The variables are the health and hygiene-related conditions of the premises (kitchens, lunchrooms and lavatories), of the utensils, the health of the employees and the conditions of the raw materials and foods. These conditions have been considered to be inadequate or deficient whenever they failed to met the criteria of the protocol in question.
The deficiencies found n most of the school lunchrooms inspected were the lack of protection of the lighting components, of window screens to prevent the entry of insects and of soap dispensers which are not hand-operated, disposable paper towels and liquid soap both in kitchens as well as in lavatories. The variables entailed in this study have been compared among public schools and government-subsidized private schools, for which purpose a Student T Test was employed, significant differences having been found to exist between these two types of schools solely in the condition of the kitchens and in the total of the items.
Most of the irregularities found in both the public schools and in the government-subsidized private schools are of an organizational nature and with regard to the facilities stemming from a lack of knowledge of the laws in force. It is deemed advantageous for training in Hygiene to be provided, given the positive attitude shown by those in charge of the schools in question.
通过对奥维耶多市辖区内学校食堂进行卫生检查,以确定其与健康和卫生相关的状况。
根据教育和科学部提供的信息,对奥维耶多市辖区内的24所学校进行了描述性流行病学横断面研究,其中9所是政府补贴的私立学校,另外15所是公立学校。根据《公共食堂健康与卫生条例》进行了一项检查。变量包括场所(厨房、食堂和厕所)、器具、员工健康以及原材料和食品的健康与卫生状况。只要这些状况不符合相关规程的标准,就被视为不充分或有缺陷。
在大多数接受检查的学校食堂中发现的不足之处包括照明部件缺乏防护、没有防虫纱窗、厨房和厕所没有非手动操作的皂液器、一次性纸巾和液体肥皂。本研究涉及的变量在公立学校和政府补贴的私立学校之间进行了比较,为此采用了学生t检验,结果发现这两类学校之间仅在厨房状况和项目总数方面存在显著差异。
公立学校和政府补贴的私立学校中发现的大多数违规行为都具有组织性质,并且与设施有关,原因是对现行法律缺乏了解。鉴于相关学校负责人表现出的积极态度,认为提供卫生培训是有利的。
