Abstract

Typhoid fever remains a public health issue in Indonesia, especially among elementary school children who are vulnerable due to poor hygiene habits, particularly not washing hands. Traditional education methods often fail to change children's behavior, so more engaging and interactive approaches are needed. This activity aimed to improve handwashing behavior through educational games. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design was used. The intervention involved 40 students from SDN 1 Dono, Tulungagung, using games like hygiene-themed snakes and ladders and handwashing step cards. Evaluation was conducted through pretest and posttest assessments and group discussions with teachers. Results showed a significant improvement in the intervention group from 70% (poor category) to 83% (good category), with a p-value of 0.000. In contrast, the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.213). Educational games proved effective in improving students’ handwashing behavior and can be a preventive strategy against typhoid fever in schools.

Abstract

Worm infections caused by intestinal nematodes are a global health problem, including in Indonesia. Preschool and school children are the most vulnerable groups to infection. Although not fatal, worm infections can lead to chronic infections and various health problems, such as low body weight, anemia, and decreased academic performance. Therefore, education about prevention and treatment, as well as food and environmental sanitation and hygiene, is crucial. The objective of this activity was to educate participants about worm infections and good sanitation and hygiene practices. Increasing knowledge about worm infections was achieved through providing counseling on prevention and treatment methods, as well as the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness. The results of the education showed a significant increase in knowledge, as demonstrated by improved post-test results, which is expected to have an impact on reducing cases of worm infections.
