A descriptive study examined head teachers' use of an information pack about common childhood infections and its usefulness, particularly for head louse infection. The survey covered all 122 schools in one borough in the North West of England. Overall response was 73% and 83.3% of head teachers considered the pack helpful for teachers and parents. The study highlights schools' wish for information and help with common infections, especially head louse infections, from the public health and community health services. The authors recommend providing such information regularly each term or year for teachers and parents, putting head louse infection in context with other common childhood infections. Regular education sessions are recommended for head teachers and community health professionals involved with head louse infections. These measures should help ensure a consistent, evidence-based and up-to-date approach.
一项描述性研究调查了校长对一份关于常见儿童感染的信息包的使用情况及其实用性，特别是针对头虱感染。该调查涵盖了英格兰西北部一个行政区的所有122所学校。总体回复率为73%，83.3%的校长认为该信息包对教师和家长有帮助。该研究强调了学校希望从公共卫生和社区卫生服务机构获得有关常见感染，尤其是头虱感染的信息和帮助。作者建议每学期或每年定期为教师和家长提供此类信息，将头虱感染与其他常见儿童感染情况相结合进行介绍。建议为处理头虱感染问题的校长和社区卫生专业人员定期举办教育课程。这些措施应有助于确保采取一致、基于证据且与时俱进的方法。
