Abstract

Introduction: Acute diarrhea is a common disease in the world in general and in Vietnam in particular. According to WHO, good management, care and treatment of children with acute diarrhoea at home can save the lives of about 1.8 million children each year, so the understanding and initial handling skills of the mother or those directly caring for the child are important. Objectives: Describe the current state of knowledge about the initial handling of mothers with children under 5 years old with acute diarrhoea at the Department of Gastroenterology - Thai Binh Children's Hospital in 2022. Methods: Subjects and research methods: The study describes a cross-section of over 60 mothers with children under 5 years old with acute diarrhea who are being treated at the Department of Gastroenterology, Thai Binh Children's Hospital. The questionnaire was developed based on the IMCI. Results: The study showed that 100% of mothers monitored the number of bowel movement and other signs when the child had diarrhea in the first 24 hours, but only 71.7% of mothers knew how to use anti-hydration solution. 23.3% of mothers used Oresol according to the instructions on the package, 76.7% of mothers made Oresol with 1 liter of water, 6.3% of mothers did not know the time of taking Oresol after mixing. 75% of mothers took their children to medical facilities when they vomited, 71.7% when they had fever, and only 36.7% of mothers took their children to hospital when they were thirsty. Conclusion: The knowledge of initial handling when children have acute diarrhoea of mothers is still deficient, it is necessary to have health education counseling programs to improve the knowledge of mothers.
