The level of burden, social support, and life satisfaction of caregivers; the relationship among burden level, social support, and life satisfaction; and burden level difference across sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were the objectives of this study. With inclusion criteria of availability, willingness, and pertinent priority of being parents, grandparents, and siblings of the child, 74 caregivers were selected using comprehensive sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, one sample t test, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample t test, and one-way analysis of variance, were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that caregivers are experiencing much level of burden with inadequate social support and have pitiable satisfaction in their life. Burden is negatively correlated with social support and life satisfaction, but social support is positively correlated with satisfaction in life. Some of the sociodemographic variables, such as sex and school, were showing significant differences in the experiences of burden level, while all other sociodemographic variables used in this study were not having significant difference.

The objective of the study was to find out the personal factors and its association with depression among secondary school children in two selected schools of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was a crosssectional study conducted from November 2008 to October 2009 among one boys’ and one girls’ school of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 144 respondents from class VI to class IX. A self administered semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess the personal factors of children whereas the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) was used to assess their depressive status. The results showed that 13 to 15 years age group constituted the highest proportion which was followed by the age group of 10 to 12 years. There was no significant difference of age of the respondents with or without depression (p>0.05). It was found that girls were two times more likely to have depression than boys. Among all the respondents, 43 students (29.9%) were suffering from depression. Depression was found highest (36.1%) among the respondents of class VIII but no significant association was found between the presence of depression and educational status of the respondents (p>0.05). Depression was found to be proportionately higher among occasional or regular smokers in comparison to those who never smoked. The overall result of the study indicates that possibility of depression is considerably present in school-going children.

ABSTRACT Toilet training is an effort to train children to be able to control and urinate (BAK) and defecate (BAB). Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children at toddler age. Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children in toddler age which is very important to be done to create independence in children in controlling BAK and BAB and children know the parts of the body and their functions. Data in 2012 shows that ± 60% of parents do not teach toilet training to children from an early age. The aim of the study was to find out the effectiveness of toilet training education on maternal behavior and toilet skills in toddler age training (18-36 months). The study was conducted in July-August 2018. This type of quantitative research used the design of the Quasy pretest and posttest experiment with non-equivalent control group design. Samples were 36 mothers and 36 children with purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used Paired t test, Wilcoxon test, Man-Whitney test an Independent t test. The results showed that toilet training education through lecture methods, modules and maze games was more effective than toilet training education through lecture and leaflet methods on children's knowledge and abilities. Conversely, for the role of mothers in supervision there is no significant difference in effectiveness. Health education is recommended in health promotion programs to increase maternal knowledge, the role of mothers and the ability of toilet training children independently.
