Nursing

knowledge and practices of mothers of under-five-year-old children about diarrhoea treatment. They've specifically looked at the region of Lucknow in India, which has sought to decrease the number of children under five who die from diarrhoeal diseases, while increasing the children's nutritional levels. This study shows that mothers are positively influenced by schooling. The conclusion that has been drawn is that the trend is toward increased use of ORS, however the prevalence of the use of salt and sugar-based solutions still exists. Despite this, many mothers still aren't aware of the recommended manner of use of ORS along with zinc tablets. Few mothers are aware that Vitamin A can protect their infants from getting diarrhoea. But, when their children got diarrhoea and were vomiting, practically all of the mothers were in favor of administering the ORS.
