Despite its effectiveness, oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc use for managing diarrhoea among under-5 children (U5C) is low in Nigeria. We assessed the barriers to utilisation and sources of ORS/zinc in Oyo State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was adopted. Of the 1154 mothers in the quantitative study, only 71 (6.2%) reported recent U5C diarrhoea, of which 41 used ORS/zinc. Eleven of these 41 obtained ORS/zinc from private chemists, and six from government hospitals. Topmost barriers to utilisation of ORS/zinc are unavailability, unaffordability and poor awareness. Stakeholders should intensify efforts to sensitise women, and improve the availability and affordability of ORS and zinc therapy.
尽管口服补液盐（ORS）和锌在治疗 5 岁以下儿童腹泻方面具有有效性，但在尼日利亚，其使用率很低。我们评估了尼日利亚奥约州利用口服补液盐/锌的障碍和来源。本研究采用了横断面混合方法设计。在定量研究的 1154 名母亲中，仅有 71 名（6.2%）报告了最近的 5 岁以下儿童腹泻，其中 41 名使用了口服补液盐/锌。在这 41 名中，有 11 人从私人药店购买，6 人从政府医院购买。利用口服补液盐/锌的最大障碍是无法获得、负担不起和缺乏意识。利益攸关方应加大力度，提高妇女的认识，并改善口服补液盐和锌治疗的可及性和可负担性。
