“A comfort room is a designated space that is designed in a way that is calming

to the senses and where the user can experience visual,auditory,olfactory,and
tectile stimuli,"Megan MacDaniel(2008).A room or small building containing one or
more toilets could be used as a comfort room.Portable toilets are also provided at
large outdoor events and are separated into male,female,and unisex

During a right blether,the national consultation undertaken by scotland's

commissioner for children and Young people in 2010,the ihadequency of school
toilets in Scotland,particularly their lack of cleanliness and poor state of repair was
raised repetedly.The office of Scotland's Commissioner for children and young
people has commissioned this literature review to bring together research findings
and recommendations from across the UK ans overseas.Scotland is well placed to
make a difference to children's experiences of school toilets.The forthcoming
children and Young People's Bill will require local authorities to consider how they
are realising children's right in line with the United Nations convention on the Rights
of Child.(ERIC 2013).

A cross-sectional study was conducted by the six secondary schools of the city
of Manila,Philippines in 2017.A self-administered survey questionnaire with females
students collected data on the outcome variable reported daily frequency of
changing sanitary napkins in school toilets,and other predictor variables.

The researchers conducted this study to determine the effect of Lack of

Comfort Rooms on the Health of Students as Basis for Interventions.Researchers
notice this rampant problem in the school campus.The researchers want to take an
action to the said problem and to help also students especially Grade 12-Humanities
and Social Sciences students to be aware and avoid such illness and harmful
diseases.The Researchers want to make each students healthy once again and for
the next generation that will used the comfort rooms.and to keep it in a better way.

attention within early years settings,particularly in fullday care.Mostly
embarrassment and having to ask to use the toilet,or for allocated paper that is
from a medical or developmental perspective concerned with acquiring approptiate
toilet habits.For young children,learning to use toilets in a public or share setting
could be described as being part of the curriculum(Millei,2012).

Comfort Rooms can be places of refuge from the adult controlled environment ; a
social space for children only.This can result in conflict with adults,evidenced by
online commentary (Bog Standard,2011).Most people comfort rooms in school
cause of childrens attitudes and causes of social intimidations to some extent
children either dislike going to the toilet when other children are present and what
they are doing,or they might have experienced intimidation(Lunablad2010).

Symptoms and conditions are continued in most studied conducted to determine

the state of school toilet in the health of students.Constipation,spoiling,daytime
wetting,development of residual urine,urinary track infection(UTI) and Inability to
empty the bladder property due to muscular problems in health.Professionals
experience of dealing children is often the bigger for their investigation of the
facilities children to use.(Joves and Wilson,2007).

Most attention is directed towards academic pursuits of the students despites to the
health consequences associated with poor toilet,infrastructures these health
problems will eventually results in diseases conditions such as typhoid
fever,ascariasic,genite urinary tract infections and depression among others.(Burton
2013;Nock Duniya,and Galadima 2003;Curtis 2000).
