Abstract:
The study was carried out on the mothers who have under one-year children (350 children) in Kho¸i Ch©u district, Hng Yªn Province in 2001. Results: most of mothers understand well about causes, manifestations, management and control of diarrhea. 41.9% of mothers have good skills in practice, such as preparing ORS solution, feeding children, using drugs for children with acute diarrhea, detecting signs which show that the hospitalization is needed. However, the rate of children who were cured within 3 days remains to be low (24.8%). 75.2% of children have to stay for 3 days or longer.
