Effectiveness of Lecture Method on Hygiene

Effectiveness of Lecture Method Socialization

• Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a lecture method with PowerPoint on increasing knowledge and personal hygiene regarding pediculosis capitis in a hostel setting.
• Research Design: Quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest.
• Sample: 41 female hostel residents.
• Intervention: Lecture method with PowerPoint presentation on pediculosis capitis and personal hygiene.
• Outcome Measures: Knowledge and personal hygiene scores before and after the intervention.
• Statistical Analysis: Marginal homogeneity test using SPSS 25.0.
• Significant Findings:
  • A statistically significant increase in knowledge about pediculosis capitis (p<0.05).
  • A statistically significant improvement in personal hygiene (p<0.5).

Factors Contributing to Pediculosis Capitis

• Predominantly affects hostel residents due to factors like shared sleeping arrangements and poor personal hygiene.
• Lice infestation is a significant issue, and treatment must be accompanied by knowledge to prevent reinfection.
• Personal hygiene is a critical factor in preventing infestation and spreading of pediculosis capitis.
• Sharing personal items such as hats, clothes, and combs facilitates spread between individuals.

Study Participants

• Age range: 12 to 17 years old.
• Educational level: 7th to 12th grade.
• Demonstrated varied age and education.

Knowledge Assessment

• Knowledge measured through online questionnaire validated by previous research (Fadilah, 2015; Hadi, 2018).
• Categorized knowledge as good, fair, or poor.

Personal Hygiene Assessment

• Measured before and after intervention.
• Evaluation of improvement level.

Intervention Success

• Intervention with Lecture method and PowerPoint proved statistically significant in both knowledge and hygiene improvements.
• Supporting evidence for the positive impact of educational intervention in this context.

This quiz evaluates the effectiveness of a lecture method that incorporates PowerPoint in improving knowledge about pediculosis capitis and personal hygiene among female hostel residents. It covers the research design, intervention, and significant findings related to knowledge and hygiene improvements.
