Abstract
Background and Objective: Due to the presence of infectious diseases and parasitic contamination in kindergartens, it is very important to observe the health points in these centers. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to investigate the environmental health status of Saveh kindergartens in 2020.
Materials and Methods: A checklist with 133 questions was designed, including 57 questions specific to the conditions of the coronavirus, taken from the instructions for the second step of the fight against the coronavirus and 76 questions from regulation 150/920318. All active kindergartens (9 cases) in the study were included, and the answers to the questions as yes, no, and not applicable were recorded and using SPSS software, independent T, chi-square, and one-way ANOVA was analyzed.
Results: The results obtained from the analysis of the checklist showed that the compliance of the health status of all kinds of kindergartens with the regulations of 150/920318 has a percentage of total desirability that includes personal hygiene (81/4%), food hygiene (63%), tools and equipment hygiene (66/5%), building hygiene (78%), health education (90%), considerations regarding disinfectants and disinfectants based on alcohol (92%) and considerations regarding bleaches (94%). There was no significant relationship between the per capita of each child and the different items on the checklist (p>0/05).
Conclusion: This study showed that the general environmental health status of kindergartens in Saveh was favorable and only two variables of hygiene of tools and equipment (66/5%) and food hygiene (63%) were the least desirable among the studied factors that should be considered.

A total of 36 confectionery workshops were assessed, and responses to the questions were recorded as "Yes," "No," or "Not Applicable." Data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA in SPSS software.
Results: The average health compliance in Saveh’s confectionery workshops was 61% for personal hygiene, 68% for food hygiene, 60% for tool and equipment hygiene, 55% for building hygiene, and 74% for hygiene education. Significant relationships were found between areas such as building hygiene, food hygiene, and hygiene education, and workshop characteristics such as building size, sales volume, production scale, and worker age and experience (p < 0.05). However, no significant relationship was observed between the number of refrigerators and the hygiene of tools and equipment (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the overall health status of confectionery workshops in Saveh was relatively favorable. However, the building hygiene variable (55%) had the lowest level of compliance among the investigated factors, highlighting an area that requires attention.
