To examine caregivers' perceptions and practices related to food and personal hygiene and its association with diarrhea in children 6 to 36 months of age who suffered recurrent diarrhea.
This qualitative study, conducted in March and April 2006, used both in-depth interviews and direct observation data.
Urban Tangerang, near Jakarta, Indonesia.
Twenty-four mothers whose monthly household income was less than $160 US and had latrines in their homes.
To examine the relationship between mothers' perceptions and behaviors related to diarrhea, food hygiene, and personal hygiene.
Interview transcripts were analyzed based on the phenomenon of interest and coded for common themes.
Mothers differentiated diarrhea episodes as either disease or nondisease. Most mothers associated the importance of food hygiene with disease prevention, contaminating agents, and health. Mothers commonly wiped cutting boards with a kitchen towel after slicing vegetables, whereas they washed the board with soap and water after cutting raw meat. Mothers perceived that the importance of personal hygiene was for maintaining health and cleanliness. The majority of mothers washed their hands without soap after performing housework and cooking.
Improving mothers' knowledge while incorporating existing perceptions might lead to positive changes.
调查照料者对与食物和个人卫生相关的认知和做法,并分析其与 6 至 36 月龄反复腹泻儿童腹泻的关系。
这是一项 2006 年 3 月至 4 月进行的定性研究,采用了深入访谈和直接观察数据。
印度尼西亚雅加达附近的城市丹格朗。
24 名母亲,其家庭月收入低于 160 美元,且家中有厕所。
调查母亲对与腹泻、食物卫生和个人卫生相关的认知和行为之间的关系。
根据关注现象对访谈记录进行分析,并对常见主题进行编码。
母亲将腹泻发作分为疾病或非疾病。大多数母亲认为食物卫生的重要性与疾病预防、污染因素和健康有关。母亲们通常在切完蔬菜后用厨房毛巾擦拭切菜板,而在切完生肉后会用肥皂和水清洗切菜板。母亲们认为个人卫生的重要性在于保持健康和清洁。大多数母亲在做家务和做饭后会洗手,但不使用肥皂。
在提高母亲知识的同时,结合现有的认知,可能会带来积极的变化。
