Study summary

The aim of this project is to determine the effect of training given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use. In line with this general purpose, the hypotheses of the research are as follows:

H0= Education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use has no effect on children's hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.

H1= With the education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use, children will exhibit more correct hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.

Read the detailed description

The universe of the research will consist of 273 secondary school students between the ages of 11-14 according to the education and training of Bartın Ertuğrul Gazi Secondary School. The children's inclusion criteria are as follows:

  • Being between the ages of 11-14,
  • Being a student of Bartın Ertuğrul Gazi Secondary School,
  • The child and his parents agree to participate in the project,
  • The child's speech and visual impairment do not have any handicap that would force or hinder communication.

Intervention: Once enrolled and consent is documented, eligible subjects will participate in the study for approximately three months. Participants will be expected to attend 2 training sessions and 2 activities (wearing masks and hygienic hand washing), each is up to one hour in length. Follow-up will be made at the beginning of the training, right after the last training. Data analysis will begin once all trainings and activities have been completed. Investigators anticipate completing the study, including primary analyses, within six months from the date recruitment begins.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of the mean scores obtained by the children in the intervention group from the "Hand Hygiene Behavior Form" before and after the trainings and activities

    "Hand Hygiene Behavior Form" will be completed before the training and activities that gather quantitative data that will address hand hygiene behavior in children. A minimum of 0 points and a maximum of 42 points can be obtained from the form. The higher scores mean the higher proper hand hygien behaviors. This scale will also be completed after the training and activities. The quantitative data will be used to measure the change in the children's hand hygiene behavior before, and after the proposed intervention. Data will be analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences package program.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Change of the mean scores obtained by the children in the intervention group from the "Behavior Form for Using Masks" before and after the trainings and activities

    "Behavior Form for Using Masks" will be completed before the training and activities that gathers quantitative data that will address using masks behavior in children. A minimum of 0 points and a maximum of 42 points can be obtained from the form. The higher scores mean the higher proper using masks behaviors. This scale will also be completed after the training and activities. The quantitative data will be used to measure the change in the children's using masks behavior before, and after the proposed intervention. Data will be analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences package program.
