“…Moreover, the absence of a hand washing facility near latrine in this study leads children into more risk of diarrhea. The finding of this study is supported by a study done in Yaya Gulele Ethiopia, which indicated that, children from households that had no hand washing facilities were more likely to have diarrhea than the children from households that have hand washing facility near the latrine [46] and a communitybased cluster randomized controlled trial study done in Jigjiga District, Eastern Ethiopia [36].…”

Introduction Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child morbidity and mortality in low-and middleincome countries like Ethiopia. The use of safe drinking water and improved sanitation are important practices to prevent diarrhea. However, limited research has been done to link water supply, sanitation and hygiene practices and childhood diarrhea. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the association between microbial quality of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene practices and childhood diarrhea. Methods Community-based matched case-control study design was applied on 198 paired children from June to July 2019 in Kersa and Omo Nada districts of Jimma Zone, Ethiopia. Cases are children < 5 years of age with diarrhea during the two weeks before the survey. The controls are children without diarrhea during the two weeks before the survey. Twenty-five percent matched pair samples of water were taken from households of cases and controls. Data were collected using structured questionnaire by interviewing mothers/caregivers. A sample of water was collected in nonreactive borosilicate glass bottles and analyzed by the membrane filtration method to count fecal indicator bacteria. A conditional logistic regression model was used; variables with p-value less than 0.05 were considered as significantly associated with childhood diarrhea. Results A total of 396 (each case matched with control) under-five children with their mothers/caregivers were included in this study. In the analysis, variables like presence of under-five child in their home (

“…Study findings from Southern Ethiopia and Burundi show that water sources are important environmental predictors of childhood diarrhea [34][35][36]. Studies identified that changing water source from unimproved to piped water was found to reduce risk of diarrheal disease by 23% [37].…”

“…This highlights the need for targeted interventions at improving diarrhea preventative knowledge. In order to improve knowledge and prevention behaviors for caregivers, several methodologies have been employed, including direct teaching, 20 , 21 video teaching, 22 and radio messaging. 20 In Ceará, Brazil, Joventino et al performed a randomized trial using an educational video to promote maternal self-efficacy in preventing childhood diarrhea.…”

PurposeAlthough Cambodia has made significant progress toward lowering the under-five mortality rate since 2000, diarrhea still accounts for 6% of the total number of these deaths. A vast majority of these deaths is preventable. In this study, we sought to examine diarrheal knowledge and preventative behaviors of caregivers of children under the age of 5 years, to determine caregiver factors associated with knowledge and behavior scores.Patients and methodsThis was a cross-sectional household-level study conducted in two floating villages on the Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia between January and February 2014. Caregivers of children under 5 years of age in the villages of Steung Trov and Moat Khla were asked 31 true or false questions to assess their knowledge of diarrhea. They also filled out a questionnaire to assess diarrhea preventative behaviors (DPBs). Comparison of mean scores to categorical caregiver variables was performed using one-way ANOVA analysis. Spearman’s rank correlation was applied to identify the relationship between the knowledge and preventative behavior scores and independent quantitative variables.ResultsA total of 101 caregivers of 161 children under 5 years of age were interviewed. The majority of them (85.1%) was classified as having good knowledge and scored >80% on the assessment. Those with Khmer ethnicity (mean=28.10) scored significantly higher than those with Vietnamese ethnicity (mean 26.00; p=0.004). Older age was correlated with higher knowledge scores (ρ=0.2260; p=0.023) and DPB scores (ρ=0.2320; p=0.019). Significant differences were found between the DPB score and ethnicity, educational background, and wealth (p<0.01).ConclusionAlthough the majority of caregivers had high diarrheal knowledge scores, preventative behaviors for diarrhea as assessed by this study were poor among almost all study participants. Vietnamese, wealthier, older, and more educated participants had better prevention scores. Future interventions in this remote region may benefit from these data as a guide to determine which specific preventative behaviors should be targeted.

“…Hands become a medium of transmission of various diseases that can enter the body either from bacteria, viruses or parasites [10]. One of the proper measures to prevent the transmission of the disease is by washing hands properly [11]. Unfortunately, although it is cheap and easy, hand washing is not yet a culture done by people in Indonesia, especially in traditional markets.…”

Karanganyar is one of the developing districts in central Java, in both the economic and health sectors. One of the economic and health developments that deserve special attention in Karanganyar is the number of traditional markets that have not implemented the concept of health and good sanitation. Unhealthy traditional markets have the potential to become a hotbed of infectious diseases that are harmful to the health of surrounding communities. Trade ministry data of 2017 mentions the number of markets in Indonesia at around 13,450 traditional markets with 12.625 billion traders. The results of preliminary observations indicate Malangjiwan Colomadu market included in the category of unhealthy market characterized by the number of puddles, slippery roads and animal carriers of diseases such as rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies roaming around the market. Communication and occupational health training programs for traditional market traders are very important activities to teach market traders to prevent various diseases in traditional markets. Participants in this program include 23 market traders working in Pasar Malangjiwan Karanganyar area. The program is carried out using extension, communication and training methods by providing information and simulations of 3 topics covering clean and healthy living behaviours, waste sorting practices and 6-step handwashing practices. An assessment is done by giving a questionnaire in 2 stages of the pre-test and post-test stage. The results of this program have increased knowledge and practice on clean and healthy living behaviour (24.4%), six step hand-washing simulation (21.8%) and sorting waste practices (15.6%).
