The current study provides training to parents and teachers about pediculosis in schools in three villages in Adana to measure their knowledge level by conducting surveys and to determine the prevalence of pediculosis in these foci.
Pre- and post-questionnaires including 30 questions about pediculosis were handed to parents and teachers. The answers were analyzed with the Pearson correlation analysis. Overall, 418 school pupils s were examined for lice. The results of the head louse control were analyzed by the chi-square test and t-test.
We observed that the level of awareness increased in parents and teachers. Additionally, the gender of both teachers and parents was determined as the most important factor in increasing this awareness. Because of interventions for the control of head and lice, the prevalence of pediculosis decreased from 15.22% to 1.71%.
It is very important that parents and teachers are aware of the health problems related to pediculosis, while regular combing of school children may be essential for the control of this common infestation.
本研究通过调查为阿达纳三个村庄的家长和教师提供有关头虱病的培训,以衡量他们的知识水平,并确定这些焦点中的头虱病流行率。
向家长和教师发放了包含 30 个头虱病相关问题的预调查和后调查问卷。使用 Pearson 相关分析对答案进行了分析。总共检查了 418 名学校学生的虱子。使用卡方检验和 t 检验对头虱控制的结果进行了分析。
我们观察到家长和教师的意识水平有所提高。此外,教师和家长的性别被确定为提高这种意识的最重要因素。由于对头虱的干预控制,头虱病的流行率从 15.22%下降到 1.71%。
家长和教师了解与头虱病相关的健康问题非常重要,而定期梳理学童的头发可能是控制这种常见寄生虫的关键。
