Increasing knowledge and behaviour to prevent chickenpox transmission is very important for mining workers, especially in their accommodation environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge of mining workers and prevention behaviour of chickenpox transmission. The type of research used is associative descriptive. The respondents of this study were 67 mining workers who lived in the Ras Laffan Industrial City Qatar accommodation, which were obtained through total sampling.
