Background. Diarrheal diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality among under-five children in low- and middle-income countries including Ethiopia. One of the national initiatives to reduce its burden is an implementation of an open-defecation-free program. However, information related to the comparison of diarrheal diseases among residents in open-defecation-free and non-open-defecation-free. Hence, this study assessed the magnitude of diarrheal diseases among residents in open-defecation-free and non-open-defecation-free areas of Farta District, North Central Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 758 households (378 in open-defecation-free and 380 in non-open-defecation-free kebeles) who have under-five children using a structured questionnaire. A systematic sampling technique was used to select study participants. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with diarrheal diseases in the district. Results. Overall, 29.9% of children had diarrheal diseases in the last two weeks prior to the study. The magnitude of diarrheal diseases among under-five children living in open-defecation-free and non-open-defecation-free residents was 19.3% and 40.5%, respectively. Lack of functional handwashing facilities (AOR: 11, 95% CI (8.1–29.6)), improper excreta disposal (AOR: 3.84, 95% CI (2.15–5.65)), and residing in non-open-defecation-free areas (AOR: 2.4, 95% CI (1.72–3.23)) were factors associated with diarrheal diseases. Conclusions. The prevalence of diarrhea among children residing in open-defecation-free areas was lower than that among children those who resided in non-open-defecation-free areas. Lack of functional handwashing facilities, residing in non-open-defecation-free areas, and improper excreta disposal were significantly associated with diarrheal diseases in the district. Strengthening health promotion on non-open defecation, maintaining functional handwashing facilities, and preparing additional handwashing facilities are necessary. Continuous engagement of the community health extension workers is recommended, sustaining the implementation of open-defecation-free programs in the district.

Aim: a study aim to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention and first aid management of domestic accident among mothers of under five children at selected rural area villupuram. Objectives: To assess the level of knowledge on prevention and first aid management of domestic accident among mother of under five children. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on prevention and first aid management on domestic accident among mothers of under five children To associate the post test level of knowledge on prevention and first aid management on domestic accident among mothers of under five children with their selected demographic variables. Methods & Material: A quantitative research approach - Pre-experimental research design with one group pre test and post test design was adopted. 50 samples were selected for the study by using non probability convenient sampling technique. Results: In pre test level of knowledge among 50 samples 41(82%) had inadequate knowledge 7(14%) had moderate knowledge and 2(4%) had adequate knowledge regarding domestic accident .in post test level of knowledge among 50 samples 7(14%) had adequate knowledge and 13(26%) had adequate knowledge regarding domestic accident. The finding reveals that pre test mean was 13.44 with the standard deviation of 2.619 and the post test mean was 18.52 with the standard deviation of 2.651. The mean difference of pre and post test is 5.2, standard error is 0.781. The ‘t’ value of 6.6 is Highly Significant at p <0.05 it indicates that the knowledge level of mothers of under five children are improved after video assisted teaching programme Conclusion: The study concluded that, video assisted teaching programme on domestic accident was effective on improving the knowledge level among mother of under five children. Keywords: Domestic Accidents, First Aid Management, Mothers of Under five children.

Aim: To find out the knowledge level of mothers of under five children regarding prevention and home care management of diarrhea and develop educational intervention to provide them adequate information regarding management. Objectives: i) To assess the knowledge of mothers regarding prevention and home care management of diarrhea. ii) To find out the association between knowledge level of mothers regarding prevention and homecare management of diarrhea and selected socio-demographic variables. Method: A quantitative research approach-descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted. 80 samples were selected for the study by using purposive sampling technique. Results: It was found that 72.5% of mothers had average knowledge and 6.25% of mothers had poor knowledge regarding prevention and homecare management of diarrhea. After calculation of chi square values, it is identified that there is a statistically significant association between knowledge of mothers and their educational status. Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that the knowledge level of mothers was unsatisfactory about the prevention and home care management of under-five diarrheal diseases. Therefore, health education, dissemination of information, and community conversation should plan and implement to create a positive attitude and practice towards the better prevention and management of under-five diarrheal diseases.

Foreign body aspiration remains a significant cause of death in children for anatomic as well as developmental reasons. Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event because it can block respiration by obstructing the airway, there by impairing oxygenation and ventilation. Mothers, as a primary care giver must be aware of first aid management of foreign body aspiration and measures to prevent it. Hence, the study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration among mothers of under-five children in selected anganwadis under Nadathara Gramapanchayath, Thrissur. The other objectives of the study were to find out the association between level of knowledge with selected demographic variables of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Quasi experimental one group pre testpost test design was conducted among 30 mothers of underfive children. Samples were selected by using purposive sampling method from 2 anganwadis. Pre test was conducted using structured knowledge questionnaire. It was followed by video assisted teaching of first aid management of foreign body aspiration with appropriate AV aids by the investigator. Post test was done after 7 days and the analysis shows that there is a significant increase in knowledge score of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Also, the study findings revealed that there is no association between knowledge score of mothers with their selected demographic variables. Thus, the study concluded that the video assisted teaching regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration was effective in improving the knowledge of mothers.
