In Ethiopia, it is the second cause for clinical presentation among under five-year child population.
The main aim of this study was to assess knowledge, practice, and associated factors of home-based management of diarrhea among caregivers of children attending the under-five clinic.
Institution based quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out from March 1, 2016, to April 22, 2016.
Two hundred eight (56.2%) of them had good knowledge and one hundred thirty-nine (37.6%) of them had the good practice of home management of diarrhea, specifically, primary education (AOR: 5.384, 95% CI: 2.008, 14.438), secondary and above education (AOR: 11.769, 95% CI: 3.527, 39.275), daily laborer (AOR: 0.208, 95% CI: 0.054, 0.810), and no information about diarrhea (AOR: 0.139, 95% CI: 0.054, 0.354). Moreover, age range of 25-35 (AOR: 4.091, 95% CI: 1.741, 9.616) and 36-45 (AOR: 3.639, 95% CI: 1.155, 11.460), being single (AOR: 0.111, 95% CI: 0.013, 0.938), being divorced (AOR: 0.120, 95% CI: 0.024, 0.598), illiteracy (AOR: 0.052, 95% CI: 0.017, 0.518), primary education (AOR: 0.143, CI: 0.046, 0.440), and no information about diarrhea (AOR: 0.197, 95% CI: 0.057, 0.685) were significantly associated variables with the outcome variables in multivariate regression.
Caregivers had slightly adequate knowledge but poor practice.
在埃塞俄比亚,它是五岁以下儿童临床症状的第二大病因。
本研究的主要目的是评估五岁以下门诊儿童的照料者对腹泻家庭管理的知识、实践及相关因素。
于2016年3月1日至2016年4月22日开展了一项基于机构的定量横断面研究。
其中208名(56.2%)有良好的知识,139名(37.6%)有良好的腹泻家庭管理实践,具体而言,小学教育(调整后比值比:5.384,95%置信区间:2.008,14.438)、中学及以上教育(调整后比值比:11.769,95%置信区间:3.527,39.275)、日工(调整后比值比:0.208,95%置信区间:0.054,0.810),以及无腹泻相关信息(调整后比值比:0.139,95%置信区间:0.054,0.354)。此外,年龄范围在25 - 35岁(调整后比值比:4.091,95%置信区间:1.741,9.616)和36 - 45岁(调整后比值比:3.639,95%置信区间:1.155,11.460)、单身(调整后比值比:0.111,95%置信区间:0.013,0.938)、离异(调整后比值比:0.120,95%置信区间:0.024,0.598)、文盲(调整后比值比:0.052,95%置信区间:0.017,0.518)、小学教育(调整后比值比:0.143,置信区间:0.046,0.440),以及无腹泻相关信息(调整后比值比:0.197,95%置信区间:0.057,0.685)是多变量回归中与结果变量显著相关的变量。
照料者的知识水平略有足够,但实践较差。
