Brief Summary

Introduction: The COVID-19 epidemic and related mutations, which affect the whole world, continue to increase globally. In particular, this crisis adversely affects school-age children's quality of life. Method: The study was carried out between February and April 2022 following the experimental research criteria with the pretest-posttest-retest control group. The research population consists of 4th-grade primary school students studying in schools affiliated with the Siirt Directorate of National Education. The sample consists of 148 students studying in the 4th grade at two schools deemed suitable for the conduct of the study. Data were collected using data collection materials, the Descriptive Questionnaire, and the General Child Quality of Life Scale. Results: The mean age of all students participating in the study was 10.53±2.60, 53% of the students were girls, and 47% were boys. It has been determined that 36.0% of the Students have not received any training on COVID-19 before, 32.4% of them did not take precautions to defend themselves from COVID-19 disease, and it is not possible to protect 48.4% of them from COVID-19 disease even if adequate precautions are taken. It was found that the difference between the pretest, posttest, and retest mean scores of the Students in the experimental group on the quality of life scale was statistically significant (p \< 0.05). It was determined that the mean of life quality increased immediately after the training but decreased in the measurements one month later. Conclusion: Education to be given to school-age children should be developed with animation-supported programs.
