Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasite infection is one of the major health problems in the world especially in the developing countries.Objectives: This study was an attempt to examine the prevalence of intestinal parasite infection in the DAY CARE CENTERS in Gonbad-e Kavus.Methods: In this cross sectional study, 932 children were recruited from 45 DAY CARE CENTERS in Gonbad-e Kavus in IRAN, through a survey and their stool samples were examined using direct wet mount, formalin-ether concentration and Trichrome staining techniques.Also, scotch tape slides were microscopically analyzed. Data were analyzed using percentage, frequency and Chi-square test using SPSS ver.16. Odds Ratio was used show the effect size of socio-demographic variables on the rate of intestinal parasite infection.Results: The prevalence of intestinal parasite infections among the children was 26.6%. This study found a significant relationship between the children age, parent education and the place of residency with the rate of intestinal parasite infection (P<0.05). The children in rural areas were 1.55 times more likely than the children in urban areas to be infected with INTESTINAL PARASITES (OR= 1.55). Moreover, the results of this study showed that an increase in parent’s education for one level decreased the risk of infection in their children by 6% (OR=0.94). Also, with a rise in the age of participants for a year, the risk of infection increased by 44% (OR= 1.44).Conclusions: Due to the high rate of intestinal parasite infections among children, parents and child care workers need to learn about the various means by which parasites can be transmitted in DAY CARE CENTERS.
