“…In line with studies conducted elsewhere [ 16 , 17 , 24 ], in this study, the odds of having appropriate child feeding practice was higher among educated women compared to none educated once. This could be due to the increase in mother’s ability to take care of their child in appropriate way following education.…”

Background Diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of child mortality and morbidity in low-income countries. Although the provision of more fluid and solid foods during diarrhea are important to treat the diseases, in Africa, food and fluid restrictions are common during diarrheal illness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine appropriate feeding practice and associated factors among under-five children with diarrheal disease in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Methods We have used the appended most recent demographic and health survey (DHS) datasets of 35 sub-Saharan countries conducted from 2010 to 2020. A total weighted sample of 42,882 living children with diarrhea were included in the analyses. Multivariable multilevel binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with appropriate child feeding practice in SSA. A p value of ≤ 0.05 was used as a cut of point to declare statistically significant variables. Results The overall prevalence of appropriate child feeding practice in this study was 10.45% (95% CI 10.17–10.74). The odds of having appropriate child feeding practice was higher among women with primary (AOR = 1.27: 1.17–1.37), secondary (AOR = 1.38: 1.25–1.52), and higher education level (AOR = 1.52: 1.21–1.90), media exposure (AOR = 1.11: 1.11–1.29), richer (AOR = 1.23:1.01–1.26) and richest (AOR = 1.19:1.05–1.35) wealth index, and currently working (AOR = 1.12: 1.04–1.19). Conclusion The prevalence of appropriate child feeding practice in this study was found to be very low. It advisable to reduce diarrhea-related child mortality through enhancing diarrhea management practice especially by working on the after mentioned factors.

“…The finding of previous studies revealed that occupation [ 15 ], wealth index [ 16 ], maternal age [ 12 , 15 ], maternal education [ 16 , 17 ], number of under-five children, and knowledge on child feeding practice [ 12 , 18 ] are associated with appropriate child feeding practice.…”

“…Moreover, most children have mild symptoms with diarrhea, which probably accounted for why parents preferred visiting an outpatient clinic. 23 Some children with severe diarrhea were treated with antivirals in the outpatient department and then hospitalized for further treatment, which resulted in a certain proportion of duplication of outpatient and inpatient cases. Because vaccine effectiveness against severe disease is generally higher than the vaccine effectiveness against less severe disease, the existing RV vaccination in Suzhou may have prevented more severe cases to a certain extent.…”

Background: This study aimed to determine the disease burden and strain distribution of rotavirus in children with diarrhea <5 years old in Suzhou, China. Methods: The study was conducted among children with diarrhea <5 years old at Suzhou University Affiliated Children's Hospital from 2013 to 2019. Rotavirus antigen was detected in clinical laboratory and then sent to Suzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for further molecular analysis. Group A rotavirus (RVA) was detected through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and G-genotype and P-genotype of RVA were tested using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of a total of 198,130 children with diarrhea, 70,813 (35.7%) were positive for RVA; RVA-related diarrhea was detected in 7798 (20.7%, n = 7798/37,710) inpatients and 63,015 (39.3%, n = 63,015/160,420) outpatients. Most children (92.0%, n = 65,171/70,813) positive for RVA were found as children <3 years old. Children 12-35 months old were reported as the highest prevalence among all age groups. The seasonal peak of RVA was in the autumn and winter. Among all 673 RVA strains genotyped, the G9P[8] strain was reported to be persistently predominant in the pediatric population from 2013 to 2019. Conclusions: The burden of diarrhea disease due to rotavirus infection remains high in Suzhou.

“…This result may be because women who live in large urban centers, as Fortaleza, have more access to health information and live with better sanitation, hygiene, and health conditions than women living in less developed cities. This context can impact women's perception of self‐efficacy since social and health factors directly interfere in diarrhea, and consequently, in the mothers' confidence (Kassaw et al., 2020).…”

Objective: To compare the effect of using an educational booklet and a video alone or together in promoting maternal self-efficacy to prevent childhood diarrhea. Design and sample:Randomized multicenter clinical trial with 522 mothers of children under 5 years of age from northeastern Brazil. They were allocated into eight groups, according to the city: metropolis − video alone (N = 61), booklet alone (N = 60), booklet and video along (N = 60), without intervention (N = 60); countryside − booklet alone (N = 70), video alone (N = 70), booklet and video along (N = 71), without intervention (N = 70).Measurements: A sociodemographic form and the Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale for preventing early childhood diarrhea.Results: Increases in self-efficacy scores were observed in all experimental groups after the educational intervention. Urban mothers living had greater self-efficacy than rural mothers. This result was verified in the video alone group (p = .036) and without intervention group (p = .003). Mothers in all intervention groups, regardless of the educational intervention used, had higher self-efficacy scores than the comparison group mothers (p < .05). Conclusion:The tested educational technologies promoted maternal self-efficacy to prevent childhood diarrhea, regardless of whether they are applied alone or in combination.
