Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Hearing impaired people are prone to preventable health problems due to communication barriers that hinder their access to healthcare services and education. ICTs become educational tools that, implemented in prevention and health promotion programs for this population, improve their access to information. OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of knowledge on social hand hygiene before and after the implementation of a virtual learning object in 14 hearing impaired students of a school in Bogotá. METHODS: A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest study was conducted on an intervention performed using a social hand hygiene virtual learning object (VLO). RESULTS: A significant difference was observed when comparing the pretest-posttest results, being that, in the post-application test of the VLO, the population learned the importance of hand hygiene to avoid preventable infectious diseases. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a VLO for social hand hygiene in the population with hearing impairment allowed the learning of the subject, which improved the daily practices of hand hygiene and reduced the risk of contracting preventable diseases, compared with the pretest.
Keywords: Education of people with hearing impairment, hygienic hand disinfection, virtual learning object, sign language
