Subjects were selected by using non- probability convenience sampling. Pretest was conducted by assessing the practice score of children with observation checklist on hand hygiene practice. Student trainers for providing training were selected using simple random sampling (lottery method). Training was provided to students trainers. Their efficiency were ensured after post- test. Then the student trainers were provided training to the allotted study participants. Post test conducted after 14 days by using same tool. Results showed that the mean hand hygiene post-test practice score was significantly (12.5) higher than the mean hand hygiene pre-test practice score (6.5) was calculated by paired t test.
