Nano Teaching Sessions for University Students regarding Prevention of Helicobacter Pylori Infection.

Backdrop: Helicobacter pylori infection is the top prevalent chronic infection globally. Nano teaching sessions can be an efficient method concerning prevention of helicobacter pylori infection among university students by increasing awareness and promoting healthy practices.  Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nano teaching sessions for university students regarding prevention of helicobacter pylori infection. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Setting: This research was implemented at three of Non-Medical Faculties affiliated to Benha University, Egypt where selected randomly. Sample: Simple random sample of 379 university students were involved. Tools for data collection: Two tools were implemented. I: An interview questionnaire that involved socio-demographic characteristics of the university students, medical history, knowledge and reported practices of university students for prevention of helicobacter pylori infection. II: Attitude scale about prevention of helicobacter pylori infection.  Results: 7.9% of studied students had good knowledge concerning prevention of H. Pylori infection pre nano teaching sessions implementation which enhanced to 71.2% post nano teaching sessions implementation, 19.3% of the studied students had satisfactory reported practices relating to prevention of H. Pylori infection pre implementation of nano teaching sessions which raised to 89.7% post nano teaching sessions implementation, and 23.7% of studied students had positive attitude regards prevention of  H. Pylori infection pre nano teaching sessions implementation which raised to 87.9% post nano teaching sessions implementation. Conclusion: Nano training sessions were successful in raising university students' knowledge, enhancing their practices, and positively altering their attitude about preventing helicobacter pylori infections. Recommendations: Continuing nano teaching sessions regarding prevention of helicobacter pylori infection for university students to enhance their knowledge, practices and attitude.
