Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasites in schoolchildren 5-13 years of age Municipal School Christ the King I, of Campestre de Goiás, Goiás, Brazil, through parasite examination before and after an educational intervention after evaluating whether the same, or not there was a statistically significant difference in these indices, in addition to checking whether a correlation exists between the presence of these parasites and the socioeconomic conditions of the population. The laboratory samples were analyzed using the methodology of Hoffmanm, Pons and Janer in 76 children. Among the results we found that the age group of 8-10 years showed the largest number of infected individuals, males presented the highest index. Individuals in the urban area proved most positive towards the countryside. And mostly it was found that after the educational intervention for school and for those who directly or indirectly participate in their daily lives, there was a slight decrease in intestinal parasites. Mean values for p <0.05 was considered statistically. Despite these important results, in our study, none of that relationship was statistically significant. Ends up knowing the socio- educational measures are extremely important for these levels progressively decrease intestinal parasites and increasingly so these individuals may have better living conditions.
