This study investigated the relationships between mothers' knowledge and practice level of cough etiquette and their children's practice level of cough etiquette as perceived by their mothers.
This study was a descriptive correlational study. The data were collected from 160 mothers with preschoolers attending daycare centers and kindergartens in Gwangju, South Korea using self-reported questionnaires.
The correct answer rate for cough etiquette knowledge in mothers was 86.0%, mothers' average practice score was 33.65±4.14, and their children's average practice score was 28.39±4.85 out of 48. The correlation between mothers' cough etiquette knowledge and practice level was not statistically significant. However, mothers' cough etiquette practice was positively correlated with children's cough etiquette level as perceived by mothers (r=.35, <.001).
The development of a systematic cough etiquette education program and measurements for both mothers and children according to their developmental stages is important to effectively prevent respiratory infections.
本研究调查了母亲对咳嗽礼仪的知识和实践水平与母亲所感知的孩子咳嗽礼仪实践水平之间的关系。
本研究为描述性相关性研究。采用自填问卷的方式,从韩国光州日托中心和幼儿园的160名有学龄前儿童的母亲中收集数据。
母亲对咳嗽礼仪知识的正确回答率为86.0%,母亲的平均实践得分为33.65±4.14,在48分中,孩子的平均实践得分为28.39±4.85。母亲的咳嗽礼仪知识与实践水平之间的相关性无统计学意义。然而,母亲的咳嗽礼仪实践与母亲所感知的孩子咳嗽礼仪水平呈正相关(r = 0.35,P < 0.001)。
制定系统的咳嗽礼仪教育计划,并根据母亲和孩子的发育阶段进行测量,对于有效预防呼吸道感染很重要。
