Background: Hand, foot mouth disease (HFMD)is caused by a virus and commonly affects children five years or below. However, the determinants of the associated factors with preventive behaviour among parents are still lacking. This study aims to assess the range of preventive behaviour towards HFMD among parents in Selangor, Malaysia.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a three-stage cluster sampling method. The associations between independent variables and preventive behaviours were assessed with multivariate regressions.
Result: In total, 556 parents completed the survey. The majority of the parents had good preventive behaviours towards HFMD. Age, gender, income, perceived susceptibility and the perceived benefit was associated with preventive behaviour.
Conclusion: Although, the preventive behaviour of HFMD among parents is crucial, however, it is influenced by parents own perceptions. The strategies to enhancing the parent’s perception are needed to increase the preventive behaviour towards HFMD infection.
Dense linear subspaces of quasinormable Fréchet spaces need not be quasinormable, as an example due to J. Bonet and S. Dierolf proved. A characterization of the quasinormability of dense linear subspaces of quasinormable locally convex spaces and several consequences are given. Moreover, an example of a dense linear subspace of a countable direct sum of Banach spaces, which is not quasinormable, is provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
