Özet
To determine the effects of personal hygiene training on the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavior of teenagers with mild intellectual disabilities (ID), this study employed a randomized controlled type, social cognitive theory design. A 10-week, 10-session program was given to the teenagers (17.38 +/- 1.61 years) and their parent. Included in the program were activities covering the washing of hands/face/hair/body, oral hygiene/brushing teeth, clothing hygiene, and menstrual and genital hygiene. At the end of the program and again 3 months later, the personal hygiene habits of the teenagers were significantly improved compared to before the training program. Significantly positive changes were observed in hygiene habits compared to pretraining (p < .001). Compared to pretraining, a significant increase occurred in the skill behavior demonstrated by the teenagers (p < .001). Consequently, it is recommended that the program be implemented by healthcare professionals for all teenagers with mild ID and their parents.
