Personal hygiene is one of the basic human needs and must be kept clean,
including scalp and hair, eyes, nose, ears, nails of hands and feet, skin and
overall body care. Health education on personal hygiene is still concern not
only for healthy children but also for children with disabilities. One of the ways
is with audiovisual methods. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health
education on personal hygiene with audiovisual methods. The study design
used was pre-experiment without a control group. The number of samples was
30 using total sampling technique. Knowledge of personal hygiene before
health education (pre-test) was mostly insufficient category, after being given
health education (post-test) mainly was in proper group. The pre-test attitude
was in low category, and the post-test was still the same. Pre-test and post-test
of behavior were mostly being practiced. Pre-test and post-test of self-efficacy
were in low category. There was an influence of health education on personal
hygiene with audiovisual methods on the level of knowledge in intellectually
disabled children (p<0.05), but there was no effect on attitudes, behaviors,
and self-efficacy in intellectually disabled children.
