Interactive hygiene education sessions led by community nurses have emerged as a transformative approach to promoting better health practices among school-aged children. These sessions employ engaging and participatory methods to teach hygiene practices such as handwashing, oral hygiene, and menstrual health management. Community nurses play a dual role as educators and facilitators, ensuring that the programs are evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and aligned with public health objectives. This article reviews the role of community nurses in delivering interactive hygiene education, highlights its impact on knowledge dissemination, behaviour change, and health outcomes, and identifies challenges and actionable recommendations for improving program sustainability and scalability.
