Abstract

Materials and Methods: The present study is a quasi- experimental one in which we had case and control subjects. Means of gathering data were questionnaires, recording files of overt behavior or check-lists, and screening to verify the existence of nymphs and adult pediculi. After determining the extent of infection to PEDICULUS CAPITIS among FEMALE elementary students in ZABOL and holding pre-test on the basis of the obtained data, a hygiene program together with educational content was planned. Then, 175 fifth grade students infected with PEDICULUS CAPITIS were randomly divided into case – control groups. In the case group (87 students and their mothers) educational intervention was done. After 1.5 months post-test was carried out. The obtained data was analysed through SPSS statistical soft-ware by statistical paired t-test, and Chi-Square.Results: Among 1066 FEMALE elementary students under study, 313 cases (29.4%) were infected with PEDICULUS CAPITIS. After educational intervention the extent of infection in the case decreased to 17.6% but it did not change in the control. Besides, the statistical paired-t-test revealed a significant difference regarding the effect of HYGIENE EDUCATIONal program on knowledge, attitude, and hygienic behavior of the students and their mothers in the case group (P<0.001) but in the control group this difference was not significant. The statistical X2 test showed that there was a significant relationship between infection to PEDICULUS CAPITIS and variables such as parents' level of education, school level, number of washing during the week, having a bath at home, monthly income, family population, and using shared articles- e.g veil, scarf, comb, and towel- (P<0.02, X2= 84.8).Conclusion: The obtained results showed that the HYGIENE EDUCATIONal program had a positive effect on the decrease of infection to PEDICULUS CAPITIS among the studied subjects.
