Thirty years ago, oral rehydration therapy (ORT) was hailed as potentially the most significant medical advance of the century. Dehydration from diarrhoea killed approximately 5 million children per year in the late 1970's. ORT is a simple and inexpensive means of treating diarrhoeal dehydration. Today 25% of the world's children have access to ORT, and it is estimated that every year it saves 500,000 lives (Drucker 1988).

Full textThis mini-thesis, assessed the use of ORT as a treatment for childhood diarrhoea in primary health care facilities in the Cape Metropole from the caregivers' perspective. Awareness and knowledge of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) and the preparation abilities of sugar salt solution (SSS) by caregivers of children younger than 5 years attending the health facilities were assessed. The availability of resources and utensils for the use of ORS packets and SSS and the accessibility to health facilities by caregivers were also determined. Using a cross sectional descriptive study design, a baseline situation review was carried out. Primary health care facilities in three heath districts namely; Khayelitsha, Nyanga and Oostenberg were purposely selected. Ninety-two caregivers in 12 facilities participated in the study. Basic analyses of quantitative data were done using Epi-Info 2002 software. Qualitative data were analysed manually. The study found that according to caregivers, all facilities used ORS packets as their immediate treatment for uncomplicated diarrhoea, and recommended sugar salt Diarrhoea Management in PHC Facilities solution as home treatment. Ninety-one percent of caregivers used ORT at home before they presented to the health facility.Of the caregivers who were advised by the health worker to use SSS at home, 60.7%, 55.8% and 60.2% in Oostenberg, Khayelitsha and Nyanga districts respectively remembered the correct ingredients and quantities to make the solution at home. Of those given ORS packets, 94.5%, 99.0% and 98.5% respectively, remembered the quantity of water to be mixed with each packet. Packets were found to be convenient and were preferred by many caregivers as compared to SSS. The advice or health education messages given to caregivers were often unclear, and there were language barriers in Brighton and Bloekombos clinics in the Oostenberg district. A litre bottle was available in 47% of caregivers' homes, 82 % had a teaspoon and all of them had access to running water. Twelve percent and 11 % admitted to not having sugar and salt respectively when they wanted to make SSS. Eighty-eight percent walked to the health facility and 12% used taxis or buses. The study concludes that ORT is widely used in primary health care facilities for diarrhoeal disease treatment, however caregiver's knowledge and preparation abilities of SSS is still limited. The resources and utensils to prepare ORT at home were fairly available in many homes, which makes SSS preparation at home feasible and acceptable.

Full textBackground Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) has been used for many decades, and its usefulness in the management of dehydration caused by diarrhoea is well established. On the other hand, childhood mortality from diarrhoea, is reportedly high in most developing countries. Improved case management of children with diarrhoea, adequate maternal and caregiver’s knowledge on correct preparation, administration and use of oral rehydration solution, are seen as important interventions that could assist in addressing the problem. Aim and Objectives The aim of the study was to assess knowledge and skills of mothers and caregivers in the preparation and use of Salt Sugar Solution (SSS) at Mofolo Community Health Centre (CHC), Soweto. The study objectives were as follows: 1. To determine the proportion of caregivers that had ever-been-taught how to prepare SSS. 2. To assess knowledge of mothers and caregivers’ on the correct use of SSS, including signs of dehydration and danger signs in the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). 3. To determine the proportion of caregivers who demonstrate correct preparation of SSS. Method The study was conducted in the well-baby and general clinic of Mofolo Community Health Centre in Soweto where 407 mothers and caregivers were conveniently sampled, interviewed and asked to practically demonstrate how they prepare SSS. The proportion of mothers and caregivers who were: a) ever-taught; b) knew how to correctly prepare SSS; had the new road to health card and knew signs of dehydration were determined. The chi-square test was used to determine the association between demographic characteristics and the main outcome measure, (correct preparation of SSS). Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the strengths of associations of different variables in relation to the outcome variable (correct preparation of SSS). Results Only 21% of mothers and caregivers could correctly prepare SSS. Less than half (45.7%) had the new road to health card containing correct preparation instructions. Only 7.6% of the 45.7% with the new road to health card, demonstrated how to correctly prepare SSS. A small proportion (2%) of participants said they were never taught how to prepare SSS, while, 55.6% had been taught by healthcare workers. In the category of household income, the largest group, 25.3% of participants had an income between South African Rands (R) 1000 and 2999. Male participants were only 4.9%. About 79% of participants knew at least one sign of dehydration. The chisquare test was used to determine the main outcome measure, which was correct preparation of SSS and demographic factors. Factors associated with correct preparation of SSS were; a) number of teaching sessions received, p-value = 0.0001; b) teaching done by healthcare worker, p-value = 0.0001; c) perceived knowledge of mothers or caregiver on how to correctly prepare SSS, p-value = 0.015; and d) number of children in the household, p-value = 0.011. Conclusion Overall, 79% of mothers and caregivers did not correctly prepare SSS, despite 97% of participants agreeing to having been taught how to prepare SSS. Over half (55.6%) of mothers and caregivers were taught by healthcare worker, however, incorrect SSS use in over half (57.8%) of mothers and caregivers as well as inability to recognize at least one sign of dehydration gave credence to general poor knowledge and use of SSS which is a threat to management of diarrhoeal diseases and overall child mortality and morbidity.

Full textBACKGROUND: Diarrhea is an important health problem and has remained a threat to the lives of children under 5 years old especially in developing regions of the world. Presently, it is estimated that about 1.5 million of these children die every year from diarrhea that would have been prevented by giving oral rehydration therapy (ORT). The value of ORT in treating diarrhea has remained unquestionable but emerging evidence still points to unsatisfactory uptake. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices of mothers/caregivers regarding oral rehydration therapy at Johan Heyns community health center, Vanderbijlpark. OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of mothers/caregivers regarding oral rehydration therapy at Johan Heyns community health center. METHODS: This study was a descriptive cross sectional study involving mothers/caregivers’ attended to by the primary health care (PHC) nurses at the Integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI) clinic of a large community health center in Sedibeng district. Respondents were systematically recruited until a sample size of 377 was reached. A face to face questionnaire was used to collect data on demography, knowledge, attitudes, practices and response to diarrhea from the participants. The data collected was analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics, chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. The main outcome measures were the level of ORT knowledge of mothers/caregivers, attitudes, practices and response to diarrhea. RESULTS: Most of the caregivers were mothers (88.3%) who had completed matric (72.5%) and were unemployed (60.6%). The mean age was 30 years. About 53.3% of the caregivers gave ORT as an initial response to diarrhea, 30.2% took their child to the clinic/hospital, while 4% gave orthodox or traditional medicine. The majority of the caregivers (89.4%) had heard of ORT. The main source of ORT information was clinic/hospital (89.6%). Most of the caregivers (81.7%) said ORT stops diarrhea while 18.3% said it stops dehydration. Many of the caregivers (66%) had used ORT. The caregivers’ORT knowledge was significantly associated with attitude and (P= 0.0000). A small proportion of the caregivers (29%) had problems preparing ORT at home. Most of the caregivers’ children (75.5%) did not like the taste of ORT. The ORT attitude of caregivers was significantly associated with knowledge and practice (P=0.0000; P=0.0127). Less than half (33.7%, n=127) of the entire study sample (n=377) and about half (50%, n=127) of the caregivers who claimed that they could prepare ORT (67.4%, n=254) was able to prepare a correct recipe. Over half (54.2%) of the caregivers stopped giving ORT or did not know what to do when vomiting starts. A large number of the caregivers (72.7%) continued feeding their child at the onset of diarrhea. Many of the caregivers (82.8%) used only ORT at the onset of diarrhea while few (17.2%) added some unconventional remedies. There was no association between ORT practice and ORT knowledge (P=0.4797). CONCLUSION: This study shows a significant association between ORT knowledge and attitude, and also between ORT attitude and practice. There was no correlation between ORT knowledge and practice, therefore ORT knowledge did not satisfactorily translate to the practice. Majority of the caregivers could not prepare ORT correctly and either stopped giving ORT or did not know what to do when vomiting starts. The reported use of unconventional remedies like raw egg and custard by some caregivers to treat diarrhea at home is disturbing. It is obvious that much work still needs to be done to improve home treatment of diarrhea using ORT; a good starting point is to initiate new strategies aimed at improving caregivers’ education on the different aspects of ORT.
