Sumario:The present investigation studied the prevalence of enteroparasitosis in children and analyzes the role of health education in the promotion of health in children, relatives and teachers of a State Initial Educational Center of the Callao Region (Peru). The study is part of a transversal descriptive research. The sample consisted of 120 children from 3 to 5 years of age, from whom stool samples were collected to know the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis, a direct survey instrument was applied to parents on socioeconomic conditions. Likewise, educational health promotion talks were held in the study population before and after the collection of faecal samples. For the statistical analysis, chi square tests and descriptive techniques were used. The statistical significance between the number of children at home and the number of people who sleep in bed (p <0.05) with presence of intestinal parasitosis (Enterobius vermicularis) stand out as a result.
