One hundred and six mothers in a rural area were interviewed to determine as to how they recognise pneumonia in children, what therapies they practice with mild acute respiratory illnesses and pneumonias and the feeding practices they adopt. Most mothers recognised pneumonia by noticing fast respiratory rate and difficulty in breathing. More severe cases were recognised by these signs among a higher percentage of mothers. As regards management of mild ARI episodes, more than half the mothers preferred not to give any treatment or use only home remedies. In pneumonias, a majority of them preferred to consult a qualified doctor. Nearly a third of them were of the opinion that they would take the child to hospital if the disease was severe. Regarding feeding practices, most of them stated that they would continue feeding, fluids and breast feeds. Only 10% desired to stop and another 15% would decrease the amounts.
对农村地区的106位母亲进行了访谈，以确定她们如何识别儿童肺炎、对轻度急性呼吸道疾病和肺炎采取何种治疗方法以及采用何种喂养方式。大多数母亲通过注意呼吸急促和呼吸困难来识别肺炎。在更高比例的母亲中，这些症状能识别出更严重的病例。关于轻度急性呼吸道感染发作的处理，超过一半的母亲倾向于不进行任何治疗或仅使用家庭疗法。对于肺炎，大多数母亲倾向于咨询合格的医生。近三分之一的母亲认为如果病情严重，她们会带孩子去医院。关于喂养方式，大多数母亲表示她们会继续喂养、提供液体和母乳喂养。只有10%的母亲希望停止，另有15%的母亲会减少喂养量。
