| Summary: | Using a sample of kindergarten caretakers, this study shows that knowledge about Hand food and mouth disease
(HFMD) is considered to be moderate (62.0%). Questionnaires were attained from 197 caretakers from a range of
kindergarten in Kuala Nerus district, via universal sampling. The study shows that, within the sample of Kuala
Nerus caretakers, insufficient HFMD knowledge does not diverge between educational background and source of
health information. The research also indicates that those with experience are more conversant workers. Electronic and
social media are the most selected channel by the caretakers for obtaining knowledge. |
