Introduction: Naturally, the kids are curious. They begin exploring their environment and engaging with new objects as soon as they are mobile. But at the same time, while playing with fire or touching hot objects, they are likely to cause serious harm to themselves. Burn is characterised as damage to the skin or other organic tissue caused by thermal trauma, occurring when any or more of the skin cells or other tissue are killed by hot liquids, hot solids (contact burns), or flames (flame burns). Owing to radiation, radioactivity, strength, friction or chemical contact, burns are also considered to be skin or other organic tissue wounds. Aim: To determine the current awareness of parents of children under five years with respect to first aid for burns and prevention. Evaluating the efficacy of planned awareness teaching among parents and to associate the knowledge with the selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in rural areas of Wardha, Maharashtra and 60 participants were recruited on the basis of inclusion criteria, using the purposeful technique of sampling. Structured questionnaires were the resources and the expected teaching was provided after the pre-test. Results: According to the findings of the analysis in the score of pre-test information, 30% of parents of under five years kids had poor awareness score level, 70% of the parents of under five kids had average awareness score level, mean knowledge score was 5.20±1.97, post-test 10% of the parents of under five years kids had average, 80% good and 10% with an outstanding degree of knowledge score, the mean knowledge score was 10.30±1.87. Mean percentage score, pre-test was 32.50±12.32 and post-test, it improved to 64.37±11.73, thus indicating improved understanding of first aid for burns and its prevention for most parents. Conclusion: It was statistically interpreted that the planned teaching program of the parents of children under five years on knowledge regarding emergency management and prevention of burns was very effective and has improved the knowledge significantly.

The quality of child development must be improved since toddlers. One tool that can be used to monitor the development of toddlers carefully, can be used Pre Development Screening Questionnaire (KPSP).The number of children under five around UNISSULA is 9 children. The problem is that most mothers do not understand correctly in stimulating and assessing their child's growth. The output produced is the application of science and technology and increasing the quantity and quality of child development.Implementation of activities with the transfer of science and technology is carried out directly on 29-30 November 2017 targeting toddlers and their mothers in the D3 Midwifery Study Program FK Unissula Semarang. The form of transfer of science and technology begins with pre-test and ends with post-test, education is delivered by providing material about the development and stimulation of children, followed by growth assessment using KPSP.The level of understanding of mothers from the pre-test and post-test results increased by 4.55%, mothers of toddlers know how to stimulate the development of their toddlers. The most important thing from this activity is the mothers will transfer or teach other mothers of children under five, both at home and in the office.

Abstract Background: Wasting is a consequence of food insecurity, inappropriate dietary practices, and inadequate caring and feeding practices. The present study assessed association between wasting and household food insecurity among under five years old children, along with other socio-demographic characteristics.Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016. The survey is cross-sectional in design with use of standardized tools. The sampling frame used is an updated version of the frame from the 2011 National Population and Housing Census. The participants were children under five years of age (n= 2414). Logistic regression was carried out to identify the odds of being wasted for children belonging to different levels of food insecure households using odds ratio and 95 percent confidence intervals. Results: The prevalence of wasting increased with the level of food insecurity, from mild (9.4%) to moderate (10.8%) and to severe (11.3%). The highest proportions of wasted children were in Province 2 (14.3%), from rural areas (10.1%), born to mothers with no education (12.4%) and from a richer quintile (11.3%). Children belonging to severe food insecure households had 1.36 (95%CI 0.72-2.57) adjusted odds of being wasted and those belonging to mild food insecure and moderately food insecure households had 1.13 (95%CI 0.65-1.97) and 1.36 (95%CI 0.72-2.57) odds of being wasted respectively. Province 1 (AOR 2.06, 95%CI 1.01-4.19) and Province 2 (AOR 2.45, 95%CI 1.22-4.95) were significantly associated with wasting.Conclusion: Considering the increment in childhood wasting as per level of food insecurity, an integrated intervention should be developed in Nepal that, 1. addresses improving knowledge and behavior of community people with respect to diet and nutrition; 2. reduce the problem of food insecurity through agricultural interventions.

  Objectives: To study the incidence and causes of injury mortality among children under the age of five years in El-Giza. Setting: The study was conducted in El-Giza, Egypt, the second largest city with a population of ~ 8.7 million for 2017. It comprises urban and semiurban settlements. Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study, which obtained information about all deaths using a questionnaire from 197 Health Centres for one year, 2017. Subjects were residents who died from unintentional and intentional injuries. Results: The overall under fives crude mortality rate was 3.1 per1000. The number of children deaths from injuries was 309(8.7% of all deaths), more among males than females (31.5 υ 23.1 per 100 000). Those under 1 had the highest rate, 32.7 per 100 000. The top three causes of deaths were traffic accidents (31.7%), falls (18.8%), and drowning (11%). Conclusions: Injury is the common cause of deaths among children under five years of age in El-Giza. Because all age groups and both sexes are victims of injuries, and most unintentional injuries are preventable, they must be considered as a priority health problem in El-Giza. More studies are needed in rural areas of Egypt. Recommendations: It is important that child health community in Egypt and in other developing countries enhances its focus on injury as a child health issue and integrate injury prevention efforts in child health policies and programmers.   ، ،

This study investigates the question whether socio-economic, demographic and environmental variables within a household will affect the growth patterns of under-five Pakistani children. It also examines whether there are differentials in the growth patterns of these children by age and gender. Using the 1990-91 Demographic and Health Survey data, the focus is on children under-five years, the total children identified were 5902 while anthropometric measurement to assess the growth status was available for 4079 children. The results showed that nearly all the socio-demographic, economic and environmental variables were significantly associated with H/A and Wt/A. Children most likely to be stunted and underweight were those whose mothers were aged 40-44 years, mothers with no education, children from rural areas and children with birth interval 24 months, mother’s age, her education and having toilet facilities in the house positively associated with growth attainment. For the Weight/A model succeeding birth interval >24 months, mother’s age, her education and having toilet facilities and electricity in the house, and living in Punjab and NWFP province positively associated with growth attainment. This study will be useful for policy-makers to develop programmes and guidelines needed to improve those socio-economic, demographic and environmental factors, responsible for the poor nutritional status of children under-five years of age in Pakistan.
