Diarrhea Knowledge and Practices of 0-3 Years Old Mother

Abstract

Although diarrhea is the most frequently observed disease in the world, it ranks the second in deaths of children under 5 years of age. For this reason, the study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and practices of the mothers of 0-3-year-old children with diarrhea.

The study was conducted on 138 women who were the mothers of 0-3-year-old children. The participants were registered to the Family Health Center 10, and lived in Aksaray City Center, Yunus Emre and Cumhuriyet Districts. The data were collected with the Questionnaire Technique, and were analyzed statistically.

         It was observed that the average age values of the mothers, who participated in the study, were 29,65±5,71 (min.19, max.54); and the average marriage age was 21,28±4,00 (min.15, max.35). Fifty-five point one percent of the mothers were Primary and Secondary School graduates; and 19,5% were college graduates or had post-graduate degrees. It was determined that 85,5% of the participants perceived their income status as being middle-level and being at a good level. It was determined that the mothers accepted more than 3 times aqueous stool a day as diarrhea (73,2%). They knew that they should use boiled water during diarrhea (81,9%); and they should give additional food to their children (92,8%). It was also determined that the participant mothers did not know that they should give salt-sugar packages during diarrhea (69,6%). When the practices of the mother were investigated it was determined that the participant mothers did not prepare the salt-sugar mixture on their own (71,7%); and did not use ready salt-sugar packages (79,7%). It was observed that the participant mothers did not give cow’s milk (76,8%); fatty foods (97,1%); tap water (97,8%) and pulpy foods and fruits like apricot (76,1%) to their children during diarrhea.
