Primary Outcomes (Explanation)
|
Before
|
After
Schoolchildren improved self-care management. It will be operationalized using the information, motivation, and behavioral skills (IMB) model. In this model, “information” consists of basic knowledge about STH infection, symptoms of the infection, transmission of the infection, and how to avoid the infection. “Motivation” covers intrinsic motivation of personal attitude toward beliefs on the value of proper hygiene and sanitation. “Behavioral skills” include ensuring that the schoolchildren are equipped with behavioral tools necessary to perform behaviors such as proper hand washing, proper use of toilet, and habitual wearing of footwear.

Group B will be exposed to the mobile application or the content of the mobile application. If accessing mobile application is not possible, the content of the mobile application will be flashed on the classroom TV of the schoolchildren. The use of the mobile application will be monitored through web-based admin system. If the usage of the mobile application is decreasing, we will contact the teacher to follow-up the children to visit the mobile application. OR the teacher will be given a schedule to instruct the children to regularly visit the mobile application once a week.
Week 1: Kwentong Pambata (reading app) 1
Week 2: Kwentong Pambata (reading app) 2
Week 3: Kwentong Pambata (reading app) 3

With various theories that we reviewed and with practicality considerations, we created a coherent program leading to the development of the mobile application we called “WASHAppKids!”. WASHAppKids is an easy-to-use, noninvasive, nonpharmacological mobile application developed with four main features: (1) Kwentong Pambata (Short Stories for Children), (2) Bidyong Pambata (Storytelling Videos), (3) Bulate Knowledge Quiz (Worm Knowledge Quiz), and (4) WASH App Kids Information.
