“…Culture and family not only influence handwashing but almost every aspect of youngsters' daily activity. This study identified that the socio-cultural and family influence was associated factor of hand washing practice which was similar to other studies (Ghanim et al, 2016;Nazliansyah, Wichaikull, & Wetasin, 2016). This study also showed that there was significant association with the availability of hand washing area and availability of clean running water with hand washing practice.…”

Background:Handwashing is a cornerstone of public health and the practice of handwashing with soap tops the international hygiene agenda. Handwashing with soap is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent infections. This study aims to determine the level of hand washing practices and the factors associated with hand washing practices among adolescent Yemeni students in Malaysia. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among Yemeni adolescent in Malaysia using stratified random sampling. Data was collected using validated and selfadministrated questionnaire which comprises eight sections. Data collected was analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. Descriptive, chi square and binary logistic regressions was used for analysis. All the association and predictors were considered significant at P< 0.05. Result:In this study out of 221 respondents, most of them (65.6 %) were more than the age of 14 and 57.9% of them were males. Most of the students' parents had a university level of education: 39.8% of mothers and 70.1% of the fathers. Majority of the respondents (64.7%) stayed for more than 36 months in Malaysia. The predictors of poor hand washing practice were only older age (P = 0.002), poor knowledge (P= 0.001), no influence of sociocultural and family factors (P= 0.023) and absence of clean running tap water (P= 0.001). Conclusion:The students had good handwashing practice. However, there should be ongoing health education about hand washing practice to students and the parents as well.

“…This idea is supported by the WHO (2009) 4, UNICEF (2012), 1 Global Hand Washing Partnership report, 16 and studies conducted in Zimbabwe, 17 Senegal, 18 North Carolina, 19 and Ghana 20 that indicated hygiene enabling factors had a determinant role for HP. It is not supported by studies in Ethiopia, 9 Indonesia, 21 and India 24 that showed hygiene facilities did not play a role in determining good HP. This may be due to the higher sample size in our study, variation in time, and/or study settings.…”

“…Good HWP in this study was found to be 23%. This is lower compared with 28.2% in Indonesia, 21 33% in Mereb-Leke District, 9 and 32.1% in rural India. 24 This may be attributed to higher sample size, variation in the study area, inadequate hygiene facilities like HWF, water and soap/ash, and presence of children washing hands without soap/ash at critical times (13.2%).…”

Background: Poor school hygiene practice is a major health problem in developing countries, including Ethiopia, and is a leading factor for children's school absenteeism due to hygiene-related illnesses. To our knowledge, little is known about hygiene practice conducted in southern Ethiopia including our study area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess magnitude and associated factors of hygiene practice among primary school children in Mareko District. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study design with multi-stage sampling was conducted from January 15-30, 2018 in Mareko district. Out of 25 second cycle primary schools in the district, eight schools (30%) were recruited with a simple random method. Then, a sample size of 829 students was selected by a simple random method. A selfadministered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were entered into Epi Info V. 7 and then analyzed in SPSS V. 20. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors of hygiene practice. Results: The magnitude of overall good hygiene practice was 252 (30.4%) with 95% CI (27.3-33.5%). Practices of hand washing, latrine utilization, and water handling were found to be 191 (23%), 387 (46.7%), and 238 (28.7%), respectively. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with hygiene practice were found to be knowledge on hand washing (AOR = 5.1, 95% CI 2.86-9.1) and latrine use (AOR = 1.99, 95% CI 1.06-3.75); ever visited model school (AOR = 2.44, 95% CI 1.28-4.64); being 14-18 years old (AOR = 1.42; 95% CI 1.3-1.88); and cleanliness of toilets (AOR = 3.4; 95% CI 1.77-6.55). Conclusion: Overall, good hygiene practice among primary school children in Mareko District was low. Therefore, there should be continuous awareness of good hygiene practice and its impact on health through health education, strengthening and motivation of water, sanitation, and hygiene clubs, and also visits to model primary schools in the district.

“…Clean and healthy living behavior, or called Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS), is a set of actions that make a person or family able to help themselves maintain their health (Proverawati & Rahmawati, 2016). Inappropriate PHBS can cause diarrhea and other health problems (Nazliansyah et al, 2016). Besides, according to Danari et al (2013) and Koem (2015), lack of physical activity, lack of consuming fruits and vegetables, excessive food portions, and fast food intake in children result in overweight or obesity.…”

Background: The Indonesian government has launched a clean and healthy living behavior program as one of the efforts for school health promotion. However, the healthy behaviors of the elementary students remain low. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of audiovisual-based education on the knowledge and attitudes of clean and healthy behavior in elementary students.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest comparison group design conducted from 1 October to 17 October 2018. A total sample of 272 students was selected using purposive sampling, with 136 assigned in an experimental group (audiovisual group) and a comparison group (poster only group). Knowledge and attitudes of clean and healthy living behavior were measured using validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test and independent t-test.Results: There was a significant effect of the interventions given in the experimental and comparison group on knowledge and attitude of clean and healthy living behavior (p<0.05). However, the experimental group showed a higher mean score compared to the comparison group in knowledge and attitudes, which indicated that the use of audiovisual-based education was more effective than the use of poster alone in improving the knowledge and attitudes of clean and healthy living behavior.Conclusion: The students who received audiovisual-based education had higher knowledge and attitudes of clean and healthy living behavior than those who only received poster-based education. This study provides input for pediatric and community nurses to provide better health education for the community, specifically for school health promotion.
