Traditions are cultural heritages, habits, knowledge, customs and behaviors that are passed from generation to generation and from society to society. In all societies, children are seen as the future of society. Knowledge from traditions is used in raising children. Traditional practices are often used for children in cases such as breastfeeding, salting, diaper rash, diarrhea and jaundice. The aim of this study is to determine traditional practices used in the treatment of children with diaper dermatitis.
The research was conducted descriptively between June and August 2023. 81 children with diaper dermatitis were included in the sample. In the study conducted in a single stage, data were collected with a personal information form and Assessing the Severity of Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis in Infants Scale.
The age of the children was 16.12 ± 0.97 months and the average score of the Assessing the Severity of Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis in Infants Scale was 2.55 ± 0.14. It was determined that approximately half of the mothers received training on diaper dermatitis. It was determined that during diaper dermatitis, mothers used barrier cream containing zinc oxide at most 38.3% as a modern method, and olive oil at most 35.8% as a traditional method.
It was determined that traditional methods that do not harm health are generally used in children with diaper dermatitis. It is important to inform mothers and healthcare professionals about traditional practices for children and to support practices that do not negatively affect health.
传统是代代相传、社会间传承的文化遗产、习惯、知识、习俗和行为。在所有社会中，儿童被视为社会的未来。从传统中获得的知识用于养育子女。在母乳喂养、盐腌、尿布疹、腹泻和黄疸等情况下，传统做法经常用于儿童。本研究旨在确定用于治疗尿布皮炎儿童的传统做法。
该研究于 2023 年 6 月至 8 月期间进行描述性研究。81 名患有尿布皮炎的儿童被纳入样本。在单阶段研究中，使用个人信息表和评估婴儿单纯性尿布皮炎严重程度量表收集数据。
儿童的年龄为 16.12±0.97 个月，评估婴儿单纯性尿布皮炎严重程度量表的平均得分为 2.55±0.14。大约一半的母亲接受了尿布皮炎培训。在尿布皮炎期间，母亲最多使用含有氧化锌的屏障霜作为现代方法，最多使用橄榄油作为传统方法，比例分别为 38.3%和 35.8%。
在患有尿布皮炎的儿童中，通常使用不会损害健康的传统方法。告知母亲和医疗保健专业人员有关儿童传统做法并支持不会对健康产生负面影响的做法非常重要。
