abstract={<b>Aims</b>: This study monitored the effect of applying therapeutic interactions<i> </i>model based on Peplau's theory on schoolchildren¡¯s health status and prevention of intestinal parasite infestation and anemia .We assessed children and parents' knowledge, skills, and adaptive behaviors for dealing with intestinal parasite infestation and anemia. <b>Design. </b>A descriptive quantitative, pre/post-test design was used, with an age and sex-matched control group. Nonprobability, purposive sampling of 600 schoolchildren was recruited from 6 primary schools in East and South Cairo governorate, Egypt. <b>Methods.</b> There were 6 stages of data collection as this more clearly explains the content of this section. I. A pre/post Peplau's theory model questionnaire for structured interviews II. Pre/post application of interpersonal process of therapeutic interaction model assessment format which is based on Peplau¡¯s theory and includes 4 phases. III. Observation Checklists (pre/post format). IV. Child/Parent Guidance Booklet. V. Parasitological Examination VI. Blood sample analysis <b>Results.</b> There were highly significant effects of model application on schoolchildren health, and a strong association between prevention and management. <b>Conclusions. </b>The study concluded that prevalence of intestinal parasite infection and anemia between the 2 settings was significant. Following the intervention, child health status was excellent and schoolchildren had a complete understanding of care management.},
