pubmed-article:10346034 | pubmed:abstractText | Operational research was conducted in Qena Governorate, Upper Egypt, to gather the information needed to design an integrated control programme for intestinal helminths in the area. To this aim, qualitative and quantitative techniques were used on a sample representative of the entire governorate. Mothers were questioned about their knowledge and perception of intestinal helminths, their hygienic habits and health-seeking behaviour. At the same time, a coprological survey was conducted on all the children 2 to 12 years of age living in the selected households (n = 2657) to provide baseline data on the prevalence of infection with these parasites. The survey results showed that intestinal helminth infections were more prevalent in rural areas and in three of the 12 Governorate districts. Almost all the respondents considered worms harmful and were aware of the need for treatment. More than adequate knowledge was present on ways to prevent infection. Good hygienic practices were associated with a low prevalence of infection in the household. Practical recommendations were formulated to design a helminth control programme tailored to the local situation and to prioritize allocation of resources. Passive case detection appeared to be appropriate to the level of infection in Qena (< 15%). The intervention should target areas and districts where prevalence of infection was higher, and all children below 12 years of age. Health education, besides encouraging mothers to refer their children to the health units for treatment, should focus on improving hygienic behaviour. While schools might be the best channel to contact children, the use of informal channels of communication, such as television, should be promoted to reach the mostly illiterate mothers. The research highlights the importance of gathering information on mothers' perceptions and behaviour in the design and implementation of a community-based intestinal helminths control programme. | lld:pubmed |
