In our study, there is a statistical significance between religion and practice of personal hygiene (P value is 0.025). The students belonging to Christian religion (40.70%) were following good practice of personal hygiene as compared to other two religion 21.00% (Hindu) and 31.70% (Muslim) respectively (Table no.11). There is no such comparison in other available studies. In our study, 100% of children were washing their hands before taking food. Maximum of 92.5% of students washed their hand with soap and water, whereas 7.5% of children washed with only water (Table No. 12). This is more when compared to the study done by Ray SK, Amarchand R, Srikanth J, Mujumdar KK, in Kolkata and Bangalore, showed 86% of children always washed their hand before eating, but 47.3% of students never used soap and 30.9% used it occasionally, 21.3% always used soap for hand washing (23).

Interestingly, two studies of the four compared the compliance rates of HCWs in particular nurses and physicians. Sharma, Puri, Sharma, & Whig (2011) found in their study that compliance rates for hand hygiene protocols was significantly higher for physicians (50.8%) as a opposed to nurses (41.3%). In contrast, Mathai, George, & Abraham (2011) had conflicting findings in which higher compliance rates were associated with nurses (45%) in comparison to physicians (17%). Both studies had similar sample sizes and were investigated in developing countries India and Pakistan; nonetheless, language barriers and varying educational levels of different staff groups, may have influenced the understanding of the need for effective hand hygiene (Mathai et al., 2011). Of four studies, three were observational studies, which provide opportunity to question the rigour of the

Participants increased their religious commitment (M = 29.95, SD = 6.73) as opposed to the faith Development Scale (M = 2.40, SD = 1.05). The standard error of measure was 27.5 (SE = 0.926) .The results of the paired sample t test were significant, 95% CI (25.67 to 29.423), t (39) = 29.749, p < .05, d= 4.70 and therefore reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. The effect size was large. The independent variable was religious commitment and the dependent variable was faith development.
