“…The result regarding risk factors of kidney diseases is contrast to the research conducted in Jordania which showed that drugs were one of the risk factors that was least known to the public of Jordania [7]. This result also in line with the theory described by Notoatmodjo that the older you are, the more mature your way of thinking, therefore older people are expected to have better knowledge [13].…”

“…When compared with other studies conducted in Jordania and Iranian, researcher found different results about symptoms mostly known by parents. Ajarmeh, et al's research showed that people were more aware of blood in the urine and increased blood pressure as early symptoms, while Roomizadeh et al's research showed that low back pain and difficulty in urinating as early symptoms recognized by the majority of [7,10]. In addition, it can also be concluded from the results of this study that the knowledge of the people of Medan Selayang about the signs of kidney disorders is still lacking because only 2 out of 8 signs of kidney disorders are recognized by more than 50% of respondents (see table 2).…”

PurposeThis study aimed to determine mothers' knowledge of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and to examine the relationship between types of CHD, the duration of treatments, the perception of the severity of illness and the mothers' knowledge.Design/methodology/approachA correlation study was conducted among 84 mothers of children (from infancy to six years old) with CHD who had attended pediatric cardiology clinics and pediatric units in three tertiary hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand. The two questionnaires aimed to evaluate the mothers' knowledge and perceptions of the severity of illness. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank-order correlation and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze the data.FindingsKnowledge levels of mothers of children with CHD were at a high level with a mean score of 34.79 (SD = 8.23), but the knowledge domain of preventing complications was at a low level with a mean score of 14.95 (SD = 5.28). The types of CHD and the perceptions of illness were not correlated with the mothers' knowledge, but the duration of treatments was significantly correlated (r = 0.271, p < 0.05).Originality/valueHealthcare professionals, especially nurses, should emphasize proper health education on complication prevention and the duration of treatments for children. Moreover, mothers should be supported to nurture children with CHD to reduce possible complications and prepare for cardiac surgery where needed.
