Threefourth (77%) was literate and one-fourth (23%) were illiterate. Majority of the respondent's children (84%) were not affected by worm infestation previously whereas (16%) of respondent's children were affected by worm infestation previously. The mean score of risk factor of worm infestation was 5.22, mean score of sign and symptoms was 7.36, mean score of modes of transmission was 4.30, and mean score of preventive measures was 8.37. The mean of total knowledge score of literate respondent was 25.81 with (S.D = 2.24) and illiterate mother was 23.3 with (S.D = 3.73). For hypothesis testing, independent t- test was used to test for significance at the confidence level of 95%, the obtained p value was 0.00 which revealed strongly statistically significant.
