Summary
The purpose of this intervention programme was to increase the foot hygiene practices in relation to athlete’s foot infection among field workers in NPDC Oredo Flowstation OML 111, in Ologbo Community, Edo State due to its prevalence and sometimes late presentation for medical attention which could have led to other complications.
The initial survey carried out using an interview method showed that there were poor foot hygiene practices amongst the workers in relation to athlete’s foot. This then necessitated the need for an intervention programme that is sufficient to increase their foot hygiene practices. The intervention programme was centered on a health talk which was given to the workers and also hand bills were distributed to them. A question and answer session was carried out at the end of the talk and the questions were well answered and they were rewarded by sharing towels to them for their feet because they were expected to use a different towel to dry their feet and in between their toes. This further encouraged the workers. As a follow-up to the intervention programme, posters were pasted at the field and their lodge areas to help reinforce the information provided during the programme.
