“…After duplicates were removed, the titles and abstracts of 1,628 reports were reviewed by one of the authors (JFL), and 131 met the eligibility criteria (Figure 1). The current review was primarily based on 107 full papers, 2‐108 but, due to the scarcity of data, we also chose to cite five relevant abstracts 109‐113 for a more complete picture of child health in Ukraine. Our literature search was limited to papers published in English.…”

Aim Millions of Ukrainian children have been internally displaced or fled to other countries because of the Russian war. This systematic review focused on their health needs and future challenges for clinicians. Methods A systematic literature search of the Medline, Embase and MedRxiv databases from 1 January 2010 to 31 March 2022 identified 1628 papers on the health of Ukrainian children and 112 were relevant to this review. Results In 2019, under‐5 mortality was 8 per 1000 live births in Ukraine. Underweight and adverse childhood experiences, including child abuse, were frequent compared to other European countries, while childhood obesity seemed less common. Alcohol consumption was common in women of reproductive age, including during pregnancy, risking foetal alcohol syndrome. Neonatal screening programmes provided low coverage. Vaccine hesitancy was common and vaccination rates were low. Other concerns were measles, HIV, antibiotic resistance and multi‐resistant tuberculosis. Many children are expected to suffer from psychological and physical trauma due to the war. Other healthcare challenges include low COVID‐19 vaccination rates and a preference for secondary and tertiary care, rather than primary care. Many people cannot afford medication. Conclusion Ukrainian children often have poor health and host countries need to be aware of their needs.

“…127 The factors that contributed to antibiotic resistance in children could have included lack of parental knowledge. Lugova et al 73 found that 60% of 159 parents who took part in a survey confused antibiotics with other medication used for the symptomatic treatment of upper respiratory tract infections.…”

“…It is important to point out that the above characteristics correspond to home caregivers, who are usually not members of the family, and when the competencies of family member caregivers are explored, traditionally the social and family burden falls on women, setting higher expectations about their performance, which can create discomfort, feelings of anxiety, and mistakes in the caregiver (Audiffred, 2022). On the other hand, Lugova et al (2020), identify that the knowledge of fathers versus mothers in the management of respiratory infections at home is significantly higher in mothers, which suggests a greater involvement of them in the care of illnesses at home.…”

The available literature shows quantitative studies on the management of antibiotics; however, few investigations describe the perceptions and experiences of family caregivers with a qualitative approach. To explore the perceptions of family caregivers who manage antibiotic medications at home. Qualitative, descriptive scope and cross section. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews with caregivers with relatives who have a chronic degenerative disease, and without studies related to health care. Antibiotics have limitations at the time of access, which influences the storage that families have in their homes, the storage characteristics lie on the site and not in the container. Caretakers do not check expiration dates; medicines are discarded without established measures. The perceptions of caregivers in rural contexts differ from those in the urban context. Caregivers participate in the medication management process and recognize that they can improve their practices, therefore, the perceptions of access, storage, use, and disposal are necessary for improvement proposals.
