Abstract
A Quantitative evaluative research approach with pre-experimental(one group pre test post test) design study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of child to child programme on level of knowledge regarding prevention of worm infestation among 40 school going children selected by simple random sampling technique from Panchayat Union Elementary School, Varagambadi, Salem. The interview schedule was used to assess the level of knowledge analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reveals that, majority of the samples 20 (50%) were 9 years old, most of the samples 22 (55%) samples were male, all (100%) of the samples were practicing open field defecation and all (100%) of them were not having previous knowledge of worm infestation. In pretest majority of the samples 35 (87.5%) of had inadequate knowledge and 5 samples (12.5%) of had moderately adequate knowledge. The calculated ‘t’ value was 26.72 which is highly significant at p < 0.001 level which shows that, the child to child programme was effective. Hence the research hypothesis H1 was retained. There is a significant association between the level of knowledge of school going children and their selected demographic variables such as occupational status of the father and educational status of the mother. Hence the research hypothesis H2 is retained, except age in years, sex, height, weight, educational status of father, occupational status of mother, sanitary facilities, source of water supply and previous knowledge regarding worm infestation where there is no association found. The study implies that the child to child programme on level of knowledge of school going children regarding prevention of worm infestation is an effective intervention to increase the knowledge.
