Parental Barriers

BACKGROUND Globally, there is an increasing prevalence of excessive screen time exposure among young children, including Malaysia. Parents are advised to limit this exposure but there are barriers for many of them to follow this recommendation. To date, there is a lack of studies on the factors that cause these parental barriers. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the parental barrier towards the reduction of excessive child’s screen time and its predictors among parents of children under five years old in Petaling District, Selangor. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2019 to June 2020 among 789 parent-child dyads attending child health clinics in Petaling District, Selangor. Validated self-administered questionnaires were used to capture information on sociodemographic factors, parental influences, child-related factors, environmental factors, and parental barriers. Stratified sampling with probability proportionate to size was employed. Data were analysed with IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis were performed before multiple linear regression was used to identify the predictors of parental barriers. RESULTS The overall mean score of parental barriers was 3.51 ± 0.83, indicating that the average numbers of barriers experienced by parents were more than three. The multivariate analysis showed that the predictors of parental barriers included monthly household income (adjusted β: -0.031, 95% CI: -0.048 to -0.015), parents who worked in public sectors (adjusted β: 0.178, 95% CI: 0.063 to 0.292), positive parental attitude on screens (adjusted β: 0.684, 95% CI: 0.576 to 0.793), parents’ low self-efficacy to influence child’s physical activity (adjusted β: -0.318, 95% CI: -0.432 to -0.204), and child’s screen time (adjusted β: 0.042, 95% CI: 0.024 to 0.061). CONCLUSIONS The strongest predictor of the parental barriers to reduce excessive child’s screen time was the positive parental attitude on screen time. Thus, future intervention strategies should aim to foster correct parental attitudes towards screen time activities among young children.

Abstract Background: Diarrhea is responsible for 525,000 children under-five deaths and 1.7 billion cases globally and is the second leading cause of death among children under-five every year. It is a major public health problem in low income countries like Ethiopia. The main aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of diarrhea and associated risk factors among children under-five in Debre Berhan Town, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 420 parent or caretaker/children pairs in Debre Berhan town between 13–18 April 2018. A multi-stage sampling strategy was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaires. Data were entered in Epi-info computer software version 3.5.1 and exported to SPSS Window Version-16 for analysis. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the level of significance. Results: The two week prevalence of diarrhea among children under-five was 16.4% (69/351). Children aged 7-11 months (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 4.2, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2 - 15.3), being the second-born child (AOR: 3.9, 95%CI: 1.8 - 8.5), not vaccinated against rotavirus (AOR: 10.3, 95%CI: 3.2 - 91.3) and feeding children by hand (AOR: 2.5, 95%CI: 1.1 - 6.1) were significant predictors of diarrhea. Conclusions: This study revealed that the two weeks period prevalence of diarrhea among children under-five years was 16.4%. Education programs on the importance of vaccination against rotavirus, increasing breast feeding frequency with complementary food after six months and the critical points of hand washing are recommended.

ABSTRAK Kelompok usia yang sangat rentan terhadap masalah status gizi adalah kelompok anak usia 1–5 tahun. Status gizi pada balita berkaitan langsung dengan pola konsumsi dan penyakit infeksi. Penyakit infeksi terkait lingkungan dapat meliputi diare, Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Atas (ISPA),dan pneumonia. Rendahnya status gizibalita dapat meningkatkan kejadian sakit pada balita. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan gizi terhadap kejadian penyakit pada balita usia 12-60 bulan Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Populasi penelitian yaitu seluruh balita di Desa Batur, Kecamatan Getasan, Kabupaten Semarang yang mengikuti penimbangan Posyandu Balita yang tersebar di 19 dusun. Teknik pengambilan sampel secara random sampling dengan responden penelitian adalah ibu yang memiliki balita berusia 12 – 60 bulan dengan status gizi kurang. Data didapat dari sumber sampel sebanyak 35 balita dengan status gizi kurang. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi status gizi diantaranya umur ibu, pendidikan, pekerjaan, kebiasaan makan balita, dan lingkungan fisik rumah. Permasalahan Gizi kurang erat kaitannya dengan kejadian penyakit pada balita, namun kondisi badan panas (demam), batuk, dan pilek kerap dialami oleh balita yang menandai gejala ISPA. Kasus status gizi kurang pada balita di Desa Batur dikategorikan masih tinggi dilihat dari hasil penimbangan bulan september 2017 sebesar 10,29%.   Kata kunci: cross sectional study, random sampling, status gizi, ISPA, pneumonia     ABSTRACT The age groups that are particularly vulnerable to nutritional status are groups of children aged 1 - 5 years. The nutritional status of children under five is directly related to consumption pattern and infectious diseases. Illnesses related to environmental condition may include diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections (ISPA), and pneumonia. The low nutritional status of children under five can increase the incidence of illness in toddlers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of nutrition to disease incidence in children aged 12 - 60 months. The method used is descriptive approach with cross sectional study design. The research population is all children under five in Batur Village, Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang Regency which follow Balita Posyandu weighing spread in 19 hamlets.Sampling was done by random sampling with the respondents of the researchwere mothers who have children aged 12 - 60 months with less nutritional status. Data obtained from the sample source as many as 35 children under-five with less nutritional status. Factors that affect nutritional status include maternal age, education, occupation, toddler eating habits, and the physical environment of the house. Problems Nutrition is less closely related to the incidence of disease in toddlers, but the condition of fever, coughs, and colds are often experienced by toddlers that indicate symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. Cases of underweight status of children under five in Batur village are still considered high in terms of weighing in September 2017 of 10.29%.   Keywords: cross sectional study, random sampling, nutritional status, ISPA,pneumonia
