Determinants of mothers' treatment of diarrhea in rural Ethiopia

Do community factors have a differential impact on the health outcomes of boys and girls? Evidence from rural Pakistan

“…This pattern of decline and subsequent improvement in child health has been observed in other studies (e.g. Barrera 1990;Olango and Aboud 1990).…”

Harmful practices in the management of childhood diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review

“…Multiple studies have attributed the practice of fluid curtailment to caregiver beliefs about the impact of fluid intake on a child’s diarrhea episode (Table 3 ). Multiple studies reported that caregivers often stated that more or specific fluids would increase the severity of the illness [ 17 – 19 ] or could not be digested [ 20 – 22 ]. Two studies suggested these beliefs were informed by caregivers’ observations that reduced fluids decreased stool output and diarrhea intensity [ 7 , 23 ].…”

Stunting, wasting and associated factors among children aged 6–24 months in Dabat health and demographic surveillance system site: A community based cross-sectional study in Ethiopia

“…Obviously, diarrhea is associated with malabsorption of nutrients, significant nutrient and fluids loss and reduced appetite [72]. Delayed treatment due to mothers poor health seeking behavior and inappropriate home based management of diarrhea, such as fluid restriction and decreasing or stopping food intake are the commonly practiced in most of the mothers in Ethiopia, which in turn increases the vulnerability the child to develop wasting [73, 74]. …”
