ESCOBAR-ESCOBAR, María B. e GARCIA-GARCIA, Nancy. Knowledge of COVID-19 and hand washing. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.3, pp.309-315. Epub 29-Jan-2021. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n3.88152.
The best way to prevent counting the COVID-19 is hand washing. However, there is little dissemination about the importance that it has and unfortunately it has not been given the importance it deserves.
Objective
To determine the knowledge and practices that the relatives of the 5 semester nursing students have about COVID-19 and hand washing.
Method
Descriptive research, with an intentional sampling of 83 people to respond to a pretest and posts with a preventive and informative training as a mediating tool for the use of presaberes, was carried out between March and May 2020.
Results
The informants had basic and adequate prior knowledge of what is involved in the practice of hand washing. A reflective interpretation was made with the design of an info graphic that visualized the state of opinion from a comparison between the instruments. The results and discussion suggested that the practice of hand washing is more than just a simple act.
Conclusions
There was prior knowledge that was strengthened by training and it was interpreted that health is a heritage that must be safeguarded with responsibility and biosecurity.
