“…The difference might be due to level of awareness, educational status, sociodemographic factors, and others. The finding is higher than findings of studies conducted in Fagita Lekoma district (37.6%) [19], South Sudan (42.2%) [20], and Finote Selam town (45.9%) [6].…”

“…In this finding, about 52.8% of caregivers scored above the mean value of practice-related questions that had good diarrhea prevention practice. This is lower than from a study conducted in Indonesia where 68.3% of caregivers had good behaviors of preventing diarrhea [19]. The difference might be due to level of awareness, educational status, sociodemographic factors, and others.…”

Background. Diarrhea is the leading cause of mortality among infants and children younger than 5 years of age in both underdeveloped and developing countries. Factors determining the occurrence of diarrhea in children are complex, and the relative contribution of each factor varies as a function of interaction between socioeconomic, environmental, and behavioral variables. Objectives. To assess diarrhea prevention practice and associated factors of diarrheal disease among caregivers who have under-five children in Enemay district, Ethiopia, 2018. Methods. Community-based cross-sectional study was done from June 1–30, 2018, among 398 caregivers who have under-five children, in the Enemay district that were selected by using the simple random sampling technique. A structured and pretested data collection tool was used to collect the data. Data were entered using EPI DATA version 4.2, and analysis was done using SPSS version 20 statistical package to be cleaned and analyzed. Descriptive analysis was done to describe study participants, and logistic regression (bivariable and multivariable) analysis was done to identify factors that have association with the dependent variable. The P value was less than 0.05. Results. A total of 398 with a response rate of 97% under-five caregivers were participated in this study. Nearly, half (48.7%) of the participants were in the age group 25–34. The study revealed that good practice of diarrhea prevention was 52.8%. This study was also identified that occupation (AOR: 3.922, 95% CI: 1.593, 9.657), family size (AOR: 0.088, 95% CI: 0.009, 0.916), and understanding on diarrhea (AOR: 0.237, 95% CI: 0.091, 0.613) were associated factors of diarrhea prevention practice of under-five children caregivers. Conclusion. This finding showed that diarrhea prevention practice among under-five children caregivers was low and prevention practice was significantly associated with caregivers’ awareness on frequency of diarrhea in a day, occupation, and family size in a house.

“…Only 5 of the respondents did not own long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs). These may be possible as mass distribution of LLINs to vulnerable populations including children under five in previous year (2017) by National Malaria Control Program together with the support of WHO and GFATM (The Global Fund to AIDS, TB and Malaria). Regarding the condition of bed nets, most of the respondents (62.8%) had good condition bed nets.…”

Malaria is a life-threatening disease. Among children under 5 have more chance to get infection, illness and death due to severe malaria in high transmission areas of malaria. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and malaria preventive practices among caregivers of under-five children and to find out the associations between them in high-risk areas of Ngapudaw Township, Ayeyarwady Region-Myanmar. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 caregivers of children under five in April 2018. Data was collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires and entered by double entry. Data analysis was done using excel and SPSS version 22 by Chi-square test and Fisher Exact?s test for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Majority of the respondents had good malaria preventive practices for overall personal protective measures (70.6%), and treatment seeking practice (80.5%). However, most of the respondents had poor malaria preventive practices for environmental control practice (57.4%), maintenance of bed nets or LLINs (over 60%), and use of mosquito repellents (98%) and coils (97%). With personal protective measures, economic status (p value= 0.033), number of household members (p value= 0.005), level of knowledge (p value = 0.011), level of perceived susceptibility (p value = 0.002), level of perceived severity (p value < 0.001) and barriers (p value < 0.001) showed statistically significant association at bivariate level and only number of household members (p value= 0.010) and perceived severity (p value < 0.001) maintained their associations at multivariate analysis. With environmental control measures, level of perceived severity and barriers showed statistically significant associations at 0.05 level in both levels of analysis. With malaria preventive practice regarding treatment seeking practice, economic status (p value= 0.032), level of perceived severity (p value <0.001), perceived benefits (p value <0.001) and perceived self-efficacy (p value = 0.042) revealed statistically significant associations in bivariate analysis and only level of perceived severity (p value <0.001) maintained its significance and levels of perceived barriers (p value= 0.039) become significant. As there were poor preventive practices of environmental control measures, maintaining bednets or LLINs, use of mosquito coils and repellents, poor knowledge of use of mosquito repellent and coil among caregivers of under-five children and perceived severity could statistically significantly influence on all three kinds of malaria preventive practices in our study, community based program like participatory ruaral appraisal (PRA) should be implemented in that region.
