- Abstract
Several childhood diseases can be prevented through hand hygiene practices. With this purpose, the present study aims to report the experiences of the students and the guiding professor involved in an extension project that focused on teaching hand hygiene to children in a municipal school located in the region of Juiz de Fora, MG. This is an experiential account conducted in a municipal school in Juiz de Fora, MG. During the period from March 3, 2023, to June 10, 2023, the extension project was carried out through planning and action development at the Nursing School. Subsequently, it was implemented in the municipal school through two educational activities conducted in a playful manner to facilitate comprehension of the topic. A total of 149 children participated in this extension project, with the majority being male (54.3%). After the execution of educational activities and with the aim of reinforcing the hand hygiene technique, an educational piece was created to define the recommended times for implementing this preventive measure within the school environment. It was observed that health education focused on hand hygiene in schools contributed to promoting children's autonomy and responsibility regarding their own health.
