- W2885656885 abstract "An experimental study to assess the effectiveness of neem oil upon pediculosisamong school children at selected orphanages, Chennai.Objectives of the Study were1. To assess the prevalence of pediculosis among children.2. To determine the effectiveness of neem oil upon pediculosis among children.3. To compare the pre intervention and post intervention status of pediculosis incontrol and experimental group of children.4. To find out the association between selected demographic variables with the preand post intervention status of pediculosis in control and experimental groups ofchildren.5. To assess the knowledge of control and experimental group of childrenregarding pediculosis.6. To identify the level of satisfaction after neem oil application in theexperimental group of children.The conceptual frame work of the study was developed based on King’s goalattainment theory. The study variables were neem oil application and Pediculosis.Hypotheses were formulated.An extensive review of literature and guidance by experts formed the foundationto the development of the study instruments. An experimental research approach withtrue experimental design was used. The present study was conducted in the Don BoscoBeatitudes Orphanage, Vyasarpady, for control group and Dazzling Stone Orphanagefor experimental group, Kundrathur. The sample size was 60 and was selected throughsimple random sampling method, 30 were assigned to control group and 30 wereassigned to experimental group.The investigator used a demographic variable proforma, degree of pediculosis,observational checklist on signs and symptoms of pediculosis, and interview scheduleon knowledge regarding prevention of pediculosis and a rating scale on the level ofsatisfaction on application of neem oil. The tools were translated into Tamil. The datacollection tools were validated and reliability was established .After the pilot study, thedata for the main study was collected for a period of one month. The collected data wastabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Major findings of the study:The prevalence of pediculosis revealed that about 86% of the school childrenresiding in the orphanage had pediculosis, which presented as mild and moderatepediculosis (25.25%, 60.90%) respectively. A significant percentage of the children in the control group were between 12and 13 years of age (43.3%) and class of study 7th -8th (43.3%).Most of thechildren in the experimental group were between 10 and 11 years of age (60%)and class of study 5th -6th (60%). Most of the children in both control andexperimental groups were in the orphanage for more than 3 years (53.3%,56.7%) and length of hair >15cm (83.3%, 36.7%) respectively. Only asignificant percentage of children were staying in the orphanage for 1-3 years(40%, 36.7%) both in the control and experimental groups. Most of the children both in the control and experimental group had 3rd degreeof pediculosis (70%, 73.34%) (Children with mobile lice) before neem oilapplication. After neem oil application most of the children in the control grouphad 3rd degree of pediculosis (73.3%) as where in the experimental group had 1stdegree (70%) of pediculosis. Majority of the children had moderate signs and symptoms (96.7%, 93.3) beforeneem oil application both in the control and experimental groups. Most of thechildren in the experimental group had mild signs and symptoms (83.3%) afterneem oil application where as in the control group signs and symptoms (93.3%)persist in the same level. Most of the children had inadequate knowledge (76.66%, 63.33%) andsignificant percentage of the children had moderately adequate knowledge(23.33%, 36.66%) both in control and experimental group respectively. In control group, there was no significant difference in the degree of pediculosisbefore neem oil application (M=2.70, SD=0.450) and after neem oil application(M=2.73, SD=0.450).In contrast, in the experimental group, degree ofpediculosis was decreased (M=0.70, SD=0.466) when compared to the degree ofpediculosis before neem oil application (M=2.73, SD=0.450). The differencewas found to be statistically significant at p< 0.001 degree of pediculosis and itcan be attributed to the effectiveness of neem oil application. There was no significant association between the selected demographic variableslike age, class of study, length of stay in the orphanage and length of hair andsigns and symptoms of pediculosis of school children before and after neem oilapplication both in the control and experimental groups. Hence the nullhypothesis Ho2 was not accepted. There was no significant association between the selected demographic variableslike age, class of study, length of stay in the orphanage and length of hair andlevel of knowledge both in the control and experimental groups. Hence, the nullhypothesis Ho3 was rejected. Most of the children (73.3%) were highly satisfied and only a significantpercentage of children (26.7%) were satisfied with the neem oil application inthe experimental group." @default.
