This study aimed to ascertain the impact of topical breast milk and diaper-area care instruction on the prevention of diaper dermatitis in rural settings.
This was a pre-test-post-test experimental study with forty-eight 6-18-month-old children and their mothers. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental groups (Group A: breast milk, Group B: education) and one control group (Group C). Data were collected face-to-face through home-visits. A sociodemographic data and diaper-area care practices form and The Scale for Assessing the Severity of Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis in Infants were used for data collection.
There was a statistically significant difference between children who used breast milk application to prevent dermatitis compared to children whose parents received diaper-area care education and a control group (p = 0.002).
It was determined that topical breast milk application and diaper-area care education given to mothers were effective in preventing diaper dermatitis, and the application of breast milk was found to be safe and more effective than education.
These findings highlight the need for education, information and practical solutions to prevent and appropriately treat diaper dermatitis.
本研究旨在确定局部应用母乳和尿布区域护理指导对预防农村地区尿布皮炎的影响。
这是一项预测试-后测试的实验研究，涉及 48 名 6-18 个月大的儿童及其母亲。参与者被随机分为三组：两个实验组（A 组：母乳，B 组：教育）和一个对照组（C 组）。通过家访进行面对面的数据收集。使用社会人口统计学数据和尿布区域护理实践表格以及评估婴儿非复杂性尿布皮炎严重程度的量表来收集数据。
与接受尿布区域护理教育的儿童和对照组儿童相比，使用母乳预防皮炎的儿童之间存在统计学显著差异（p=0.002）。
局部应用母乳和给予母亲尿布区域护理教育在预防尿布皮炎方面是有效的，并且发现母乳的应用比教育更安全、更有效。
这些发现强调了需要教育、信息和实际解决方案来预防和适当治疗尿布皮炎。
