Background of the Study

Conceptual Framework

Verbal Communication approach

Non verbal Communication approach

OR

General Problem Statement• To know which communication approach, either verbal or non verbal

communication, is more effective in teaching hand washing to school-aged patients.

• To know the scores obtained by the respondents who were given verbal instructions on hand washing in terms of their pre-test and post-test.

• To describe if the respondents gained knowledge by comparing their scores on the pre-test and post-test for the verbal approach.

• To know the scores obtained by the respondents who were given non verbal instructions on hand washing in terms of their pre-test and post-test.

• To describe if the respondents gained knowledge by comparing their scores on the pre-test and post-test for the non verbal approach.

• To determine which communication technique was more effective on teaching hand washing by comparing the scores in the post test of the two groups.

Conclusion

• Most of the respondents on both groups have showed improvement

• Verbal and non-verbal approach, showed no

significant difference based on the SPSS analysis made on the post-tests scores of both group.

• Neither of the two approaches is advantageous to one another but both can be used in teaching hand washing.

Recommendations

To the students

• Apply the learning of proper hand washing technique on

their daily activities.

• Wash hands all the time.

To the parents

• Disseminateinformation about hand washing within their

family members.

Recommendations continued… To the nursing profession

• Create commercials or videos that could be aired on the

television or other forms of media for awareness

• Continuous campaign on hand washing should be put into

practice, not only when there is a breakout of disease.

To the future researchers

• Having more than 10 respondents with age fairly divided can

render better results.

• Combination of verbal and non verbal approach

• Following up on the respondents
