School-age children'S knowledge and perceptions concerning Soil-transmitted Helminthiases and Targeted Preventive Chemotherapy in Ghana's Oti Region

RésuméIntroductionLe programme ghanéen de lutte contre les maladies tropicales négligées visait à sensibiliser la population aux géohelminthiases et à atteindre une couverture de 100 % de la chimiothérapie préventive (CTP) d'ici 2020. Cette étude vise à déterminer les facteurs associés au niveau de connaissances des enfants d’âge scolaire et à décrire leurs perceptions à Krachi East Municipal au Ghana.Patients et méthodesIl s'agissait d'une étude transversale à collecte quantitative et dans les ménages, effectuée en juillet-août 2020. Les enfants de 7-14 ans et leurs tuteurs, consentant librement à participer à l’étude, ont été sélectionnés selon un échantillonnage stratifié à deux degrés. Ainsi, 5 communautés rurales et 3 communautés urbaines ont été sélectionnées par échantillonnage aléatoire simple. Puis, un échantillonnage systématique a été appliqué pour sélectionner les enfants et leurs tuteurs dans les ménages. Les statistiques descriptives ont concerné individuellement les variables quantitatives et qualitatives. Une régression logistique binaire uni et multivariée a été réalisée pour déterminer les facteurs associés au niveau de connaissances des enfants, considérant un niveau de signification de 5 %.Résultats352 enfants et 352 tuteurs provenant principalement de Dambai (66,48%) ont été interrogés. L’âge médian des enfants était de 11 (IIQ : 9-12) ans et les enfants étaient âgés de 7 à 14 ans. La majorité des enfants étaient de sexe masculin (53,13%), et les tuteurs de sexe féminin (66,48%). Les tuteurs avaient un âge compris entre 15 et 74 ans, avec un âge médian de 36 (IIQ : 30-45) ans. Ils étaient le plus souvent mariés (79,55%). La plupart des enfants ont perçu un bénéfice associé à la CTP (334; 94,89%). La proportion d'enfants percevant un risque associé à la CTP ne différait pas significativement de celle des enfants n'en percevant pas (49,72 % contre 50,28 %; p = 0,8802). Pour les élèves, les enseignants étaient leur principale source d'information sur les vers intestinaux (96,59%). La majorité d'entre eux percevait un soutien de leurs enseignants vis-à-vis de la CTP (96,00%). La proportion d'enfants ne connaissant pas les modes de transmission et les moyens de prévention des vers était respectivement de 41,48 % et de 33,24 %. Globalement, 115 enfants (32,67%) ne connaissaient pas les vers intestinaux. Après cumul des scores de connaissances et classification, les enfants avaient en général une mauvaise connaissance des géohelminthiases et de la CTP (91,19 % contre 8,81 %; p < 0,0001). La bonne connaissance était associée au groupe ethnique [Guan : ORa = 3,96 95%CI 1,11-14,12; p = 0,034], à l’âge de l'enfant [(11-12 ans : ORa = 6,05 95%CI 1,21-30,22; p = 0,026); (13-14 ans : ORa = 8,19 95%CI 1,64-40,89; p = 0,010)] et au sexe des tuteurs (Femme : ORa = 2,97 95%CI 1,02-8,66; p = 0,046) dans le modèle ajusté.ConclusionLes plus jeunes enfants et les tuteurs hommes semblent avoir une faible connaissance des vers intestinaux et de la CTP et doivent bénéficier d'une plus grande attention en matière d’éducation sanitaire.

The food consumed by school children greatly affects their physical development. Lack of consuming healthy food in school-age children can cause disease or impaired growth and development in later life. So the strategy is to provide education about healthy food. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of health education with the snake and ladder method on the knowledge of school-age children about healthy food. Respondents in this study were 32 respondents. This study uses a pre-experimental research design in the form of a "pre-test and post-test with one group design" design. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon signed rank test, the p value of knowledge was 0.000 which was smaller than alpha (P &lt;0.005). Which shows a significant difference between knowledge before and after being given health education about knowledge of healthy food.

Prevalence and intensity of soil-transmitted helminth infections among school-age children in the Cagayan Valley, the Philippines

Objective: To identify the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) among school-age children in the Cagayan Valley, the Philippines, assess their level of awareness on the disease, and determine predisposing factors of the disease.Methods: A total of 478 Grades III-V school-age children in Pamplona and Sanchez-Mira School Districts in the Cagayan Valley answered the questionnaire assessing their knowledge, attitude, and practices on STH, subjected to anthropometric measurements, and provided faecal samples for parasitologic assessment (direct smear, Kato-Katz, and formol-ether concentration techniques).Results: The participants of the study, with 55.86% females, were 8 to 14 years old. Their nutritional status was assessed ‘normal’ (84.31%), ‘severely wasted’ (6.49%), ‘wasted’ (5.23%), ‘overweight’ (2.72%), and ‘obese’ (1.26%). The prevalence of infection with at least 1 STH species was 25.99% in Pamplona and 19.40% in Sanchez- Mira. Overall, the prevalence of heavy intensity was 7.11% for Ascaris lumbricoides and 1.67% for Trichuris trichiura. All hookworm infections had light intensities. The majority of the school-age children had a low score in the KAP test. In knowledge of STH, ‘stunted growth as a symptom of infection’ was associated with a lower risk of Ascaris lumbricoides infection (OR 0.448; 95% CI 0.212, 0.945; P=0.035) while ‘playing with soil as a mode of transmission’ was associated with an increased risk of Ascaris lumbricoides infection (OR 2.067; 95% CI 1.014, 4.212; P=0.046). In attitude towards STH, ‘I think I have intestinal worm now’ was associated with a higher risk of Ascaris lumbricoides infection (OR 1.681; 95% CI 1.061, 2.662; P=0.027).Conclusions: The prevalence rate of Ascaris lumbricoides among the school-age children in the Cagayan Valley shows the need to further intensify intervention in the area to meet the threshold set by the World Health Organization. The identified predictors of infection, which concerns the school-age children's knowledge and attitude toward STH, can be used in augmenting intervention programs in the future.

Improving the understanding of schistosomiasis among adolescents in endemic areas in Brazil: A comparison of educational methods

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of two teaching strategies, both guided by the concept of dialogicity, on adolescents’ knowledge about schistosomiasis and adherence to diagnostic fecal testing. MethodsTwo teaching strategies related to schistosomiasis were developed, an educational video and group conversation, which were tested in two groups of students aged 10–15 years old. Before and after the intervention, a questionnaire was applied to assess participants' knowledge about schistosomiasis and, after the intervention, two fecal samples were requested from each participant. Comparisons were performed by paired t- and McNemar tests. ResultsBoth strategies resulted in statistically significant improvements in knowledge between the pre- and post-tests. Students who watched the video had a higher return rate of fecal samples and percentage of correct questionnaire answers, mainly on questions about schistosomiasis infection. ConclusionTeaching strategies based on dialogue favored the construction of concepts about schistosomiasis that can influence the adoption of positives attitudes related to health. Practical implicationsUsing teaching strategies based on the concept of dialogicity can favor the increase of knowledge of school age children about schistosomiasis and can influence behavioral change related to health.

Growth of text-embedded lexicon in Catalan: From childhood to adolescence

Lexical development is a key facet of later language development. To characterize the linguistic knowledge of school age children, performance in the written modality must also be considered. This study tracks the growth of written text-embedded lexicon in Catalan-speaking children and adolescents. Participants ( N = 2161), aged from 5 to 16 years produced six different texts: a film explanation, a film recommendation, a joke telling and definitions of a noun, a verb and an adjective. The resultant corpus of 11,332 texts was analyzed using four distributional measures of lexical development: word length, lexical density, use of adjectives and nominalizations. Heylighen’s F-measure of level of text formality was also computed. Word length, use of adjectives and nominalizations were powerful indicators of lexical development. Text type and home language had an effect on these measures. Lexical density showed no clear developmental change, and did not vary by type of text. Heylighen’s F-measure was a weaker developmental indicator. Educational implications are discussed.

Establishing an Injury Prevention Program to Address Pediatric Pedestrian Collisions

The implementation of a pedestrian safety education program in public schools can change the knowledge and beliefs about safe pedestrian behaviors among students and their parents or caregivers with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality of children. WalkSafe is a well-established, multiphase pedestrian safety intervention program. This program has been shown to improve pedestrian safety knowledge of school-aged children in kindergarten through grade 5 after receiving a 3-day educational curriculum. A reduction in pediatric pedestrian struck injuries is anticipated following program implementation in an urban area with significantly increased incidence of such injuries.

Evaluation of Age-Appropriate Firearm Safety Interventions

The purpose of this study was to determine if firearm safety training increased the knowledge of school-age children about gun safety. It was predicted that children's knowledge, attitudes, and feelings about firearm safety would be impacted by the method used to teach the key firearm safety constructs. The specific aim was to test the effects of 3 levels of firearm safety training on school-age children's knowledge about gun safety. The hypothesis was that children who attended a firearm injury prevention program that used a scripted discussion, psychomotor exercise, and a role-playing exercise about firearm safety would have greater knowledge about firearm safety. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest randomized complete block design was used. There were 57 participants, 58% were male and the mean age was 5.89 years. A pictorial tool was used to assess kindergarten and first-grade students' baseline and postintervention knowledge of firearm safety. Knowledge increased in all of the intervention groups [F(3,53) = 6.69, P = 0.001]. The greatest increase in knowledge occurred in the scripted discussion/psychomotor exercise group which exhibited an 81% increase in knowledge from the pretest to the posttest. There was no change in the control group's knowledge from pretest to posttest (P = 0.3). This study provides evidence that children do retain firearm safety training. The long-term objective of this research is to reduce the incidence of firearm injuries during childhood by teaching children how to be safe around guns.

Impact of a Short Nutrition Education Program on Food and Nutrition Knowledge of School-Age Children Graduating from Elementary School: A Follow-Up Study 1995–2000, Chillán, Chile

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of a nutrition education program (NEP) on food and nutrition knowledge (FNK) of a representative sample of 283 elementary school graduates in Chillán, Chile. A comparative study of two groups was carried out: the Control Group (CG, n = 134) and the Experimental Group (participating in the NEP) (EG, n = 149) paired by sex, age, intellectual ability (IA), and socioeconomic stratum. Results showed that in the EG, the NEP had a positive and significant impact on FNK scores, which significantly increased from the pre-test to the post-test. In retests completed both 3 months and 5 years after the NEP had been completed a slight significant decrease was observed, but FNK scores remained quite high. These findings point out the significant impact of the NEP on FNK and may be useful as a model for nutrition education programs designed to improve the food and nutrition knowledge of the school-age population.
