management plan for children and their mothers suffering from intestinal parasite infection at

for nurses and Likert types rating scale for children’s attitude. The results of the present study

infection in children in both study and control groups. According to the mother’s knowledge, it
was found that all mother’s knowledge highly improved among study group from pre to post
implementation ofNMP. As regards reported mother’s practice, more than half of mother’s total
practice in study and control groups have inadequate practice related to pre-implementation of
NMP. On the other hand, more than half of study and control groups have adequate practice in
relation to post implementation of NMP. It to be recommended that a well-planned prevention
