Introduction

Hand washing is defined the process of cleansing the hands with water and soap, for the objectives of removing soil, dirt and microorganisms. The main medical purpose of washing hands is to cleanse the hands of pathogens (including bacteria or viruses) and chemicals, which can cause personal harm or diseases [1]. In the 1980’s, food-borne outbreaks and healthcare-associated infections led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to more actively promote hand hygiene as an important way to prevent the spread of infection. The outbreak of swine flu in 2009 led to increased awareness in many countries of the importance of washing hands with soap to protect the community from such infectious diseases [1]. Hand hygiene is a way of cleaning one’s hands that substantially reduces potential pathogens (harmful microorganisms) on the hands. Hand hygiene is considered a primary measure for reducing the risk of transmitting infection among patients and health care personnel. Hand hygiene procedures include the use of alcohol-based hand rubs (containing 60%-95% alcohol) and hand washing with soap and water [2]. Practicing hand hygiene is a simple yet effective way to prevent infections. Cleaning your hands can prevent the spread of germs, including those that are resistant to antibiotics and are becoming difficult, if not impossible, to treat. On average, healthcare providers clean their hands less than half of the time they should. On any given day, about one in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection [3]. Proper hand washing is the most effective and easiest method to prevent many diseases, but there are many people that do not practice it correctly. The worldwide global hand washing day campaign, which targets school, children as agents for behavior change evidence this problem [4]. Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections from one person to the next. Germs can spread from other people or surfaces when you touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, prepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed hands, touch a contaminated surface or objects [4], blow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects. The soaps remove lipid and adhering dirt, soil and various organic substances from the hands, which are detergent-based products that contain esterifies fatty acids and sodium or potassium hydroxide. They are available in various forms including bar soap, tissue, leaf and liquid preparations. Their cleansing activity can be attributed to their detergent properties [5]. An antimicrobial substance which decreases or inhibits the growth of germs in living tissues, examples include alcohols, chlorhexidine gluconate, chlorine derivatives, iodine, chloroxylenol quaternary ammonium compounds, and triclosan [6]. Hand hygiene is critical to prevent healthcare-associated infections and reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Compliance with hand hygiene practices has improved over the past two decades, especially in hospitals and healthcare settings where the multi-modal promotion has been implemented [7]. Some diseases spread when hands are contaminated with other moist body substances. Microorganisms transmitted by one or more body substances include Cytomegalovirus, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcal organisms, and Epstein Barr virus. These organisms maybe transmitted from person to person or indirectly by contamination of food or inanimate objects such as toys [8]. In 2011, the WHO conducted a study in Angola and Ethiopia, to evaluate the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAPs) of hygiene among rural school children and assessed the extent to which proper knowledge of hygiene was associated with personal hygiene characteristics. Study included 669 pupils who were interviewed by trained staff participants who were in grades 1-6 at Angola primary’s School, located in rural Ethiopia. Data consisted of hygiene and hand washing practices, knowledge about sanitation, personal hygiene, characteristics and presence of gastrointestinal parasitic infection showed approximately 52% of pupils were classified as having adequate knowledge of proper hygiene, most pupils reported hand washing before meals (99.0%), but only 36.2% reported using soap. Although 76.7% of pupils reported that washing hands after using toilet was important. Only 14.8% reported actually following this practice. Pupils with adequate knowledge of proper hygiene were more likely to have clean clothes and concluded school based hygiene education is vital in order to decrease the rates of transmissible diseases. Children are more receptive to learning and are very likely to adopt healthy behaviors at a younger age. They can also be agents of change by spreading what they have learned in school to their family and community members [9]. This study conducted in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia to assess knowledge attitude and practice of hand washing and associated factors among primary school. The result found the attitude of students, 142(59.4%) and 97(40.6%) have good and poor attitude respectively. Overall 172(71.97%) of students have a good practice and 67(28.03%) have poor practice towards hand washing. The study subjects have adequate knowledge and more than half of them have a positive attitude. The overall practice of hand washing is good but utilization of soap and hand washing after toilet visit is low. Educational status, area of residence age six, and grade of student are factors that affect the KAP of school children toward hand washing with soap [10]. A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among primary school children in the peripheral site of Karari locality, Omdurman city, Khartoum state, Sudan to assess personal hygiene practices among school children. The study showed that the boys showed better hand hygiene practices before eating rather than the girls (39.3% & 37.6%), respectively [11]. A crosssectional, school study was conducted located in Mafraq Governorate, Jordan, over a period of 3 months (October-December 2016). The participants were school students from grades 1 to 12, randomly chosen from 14 public schools (7 girls’ schools, 7 boys’ schools), the findings showed that the majority of the students (97.5%) washed their hands with water, and nearly 70% of them used soap. Furthermore, the majority washed their hands after using the toilet (86.7%) and after touching rubbish (84.4%). Reasons for not washing their hands from the students’ perspective included, ‘no need’ (70.8%) and ‘the hand washing facilities were not clean’ (62.3%). The findings revealed that a low percentage of school students ignored hand washing after different critical situations [11]. A study conducted at Alkalakla basic schools in Sudan, (41.8%)of the pupils mentioned source of information about hand washing acquiring from school, and (30.8%) of them mentioned family members are sources of knowledge [12]. The study was conducted in six primary and secondary schools and in the homes of four ethnic villages in northern Vietnam. The study found percentage of students who washed their hands at recommended times (30-60 sec) was 58%. This proportion increased by grade (from 34% among grade 1 to 67% among grade 7; p<0.05) [13].

Material and Methods
The study design

This is a descriptive cross sectional school based study to study the knowledge, attitude and practices among basic schools pupils towards hand washing.

Study area: Location: The study area Ombadda locality is located in Omdurman Town in Khartoum.

Study population: The population of the locality (Umbada) is one million about (988.163 ) people, the study group in this study are pupils in basic schools with a total of (4133) pupils (2106 boys, 2027 girls) distributed in 243 public schools (123 boys, 120 girls ) and 149 private schools (81 boys, 68 girls).

Sampling

Sample size of 400 pupils was determined using the equation n=N/1+N(r)2, sample distribution in the locality consist four units, three units out of them were selected randomly using random method to obtain Alamir, Albuqea and Alslam. The sample size was distributed proportionally according to the weight among both boys and girls to obtain 204 girls and 196 boys, from each (girls weight=51 and boys weight=49) in grade (5-8) and then distributed over 12 schools which were selected randomly 6 public, 6 private using lottery and then the sample was distributed over the schools randomly.

Data collection and analysis

Interview with the general administration of educational affairs information and centre for training and research were performed. Observations established that the main source of water in all schools is from the public supply system and that all schools had access to attached latrines. Attitudes and practices towards hand washing and data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The association between different variable was checked using Chi-square test at a 95% confidence interval, or p=0.05.

Discussions

The study shows (61.3%) of pupils have defined hand washing as hands cleaning with water and soap. Only 4.5% do not have to acknowledge regarding hand washing with soap and water. This study agrees with, UNICEF [1], CDC [2], and Elmadani M, et al. [10]. Increase awareness in many countries of the importance of washing hands with soap to protect the community from such infectious diseases.

The study demonstrates that (65%) of the pupils knew the benefits of hand washing this agrees with what mentioned by UNICEF [1]. Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections from one person to the next.

The study explained that (38.2%) of the pupils mentioned all types of diseases related to not washing hands; this agrees with Shrestha A, et al. [8]. Some diseases spread when hands are contaminated with other moist body substances, microorganisms transmitted by one or more body substances include Cytomegalovirus, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcal organisms, and Epstein Barr virus.

The study shows the study that (71.3%) of pupils who knew the appropriate time for hand washing mentioned all correct times for washing, this agrees with Bashtawy MAL [11]. The majority of students washed their hands after using the toilet (86.7%) and after touching rubbish (84.4%). This result complies with that stated by Buda AS, et al., [9] who mentioned that (most of the pupils (69.9%) knew hand washing.

The study showed that most of the pupils (61.3%) define hand washing, as hands cleaning with water and soap. This result agreed with UNICEF [1] which stated that hand washing is the act of cleansing the hands using water and soap. A small group of pupils (15.8%) mentioned that their source of information about hand washing is from the academic curriculum and a group of the pupils (4.2%) mentioned mass media. This result is similar to what was said by Babeker MA [12] (less than half of the pupils (41.8%) mentioned source of information about hand washing was the curriculum and a group of the pupils (30.8%) mentioned mass media).

The study shows a group of the pupils (39.5%) practiced hand washing with soap and water in time ranged between (20-30) seconds. This result complied with Xuan LTT, et al., [13] they indicated that more than half of the pupils (58%) washed their hands in time ranged between (20-30 seconds).

The study demonstrates the pupils (63.1%) not washing hands with soap and water at school, this result agree with Babeker MA [12] (the majority of the pupils (82.3)% didn’t practice hand washing at school).

Conclusions

The study explained that (71.3%) of pupils knew the appropriate length of time for hand washing. The study also shows that knowledge about the proper way of hand washing with soap and water increase with age. The majority of the pupils (88.2%) knew diseases were related to the practice of not washing hand with soap.

Recommendations

1. 1.7% of student mentioned practices hand washing after using the toilet. This is a very a small number. So increase in student awareness of the practicing washing hand after using the toilet is very important.

2. 15.8% of students mentioned the sources their knowledge for practices washing hands is schools, this percentage very small. So I recommend increasing the school’s health education programs.

- Promote the positive attitude towards hand washing and change a negative attitude towards hand washing by the improved correct attitude about hand washing.

Must change a negative behavior like not practicing the proper way of hand washing at critical times, especially before eating and after using the toilet and saving hand washing facilities (water, soap, hand basin) in schools.

Ethical Clearance

Ethical permission for the study was obtained prior data implementation, by consulting and receiving approval from, Khartoum University, ministry of health, local health authority’s, Community Leaders, and consent those who are interviewed.
