Determinants of prelacteal feeding practice among postpartum mothers in Debre Markos town, Amhara regional state, Ethiopia, 2016
No full textTenaw Gualu, Abebe Dilie, Dessalegn Haile, Abebe Abate Department of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia Background: Prelacteal feeding (PLF) is giving liquids or food other than breast milk prior to the establishment of regular breast-feeding (colostrum). The practice of PLF is common in Ethiopia. PLF deprives the child of the valuable nutrients and the protection of colostrum and exposes the newborn to the risk of infection. There are limited studies conducted so far on this topic, and even then, findings are inconsistent. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess determinants of PLF practice and associated factors among postpartum mothers in Debre Markos town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia, 2016. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 262 mothers (postpartum) with infants. Census data was used to include all the postpartum mothers and infant pairs. Structured interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. The data were cleaned, coded, and entered in Epi data version 3.1 and transferred to SPSS version 20.0 for analysis. Frequency and percentage were used to summarize the sociodemographic characteristics. Variables with a P-value of <0.05 in multivariate analysis were declared statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval.Result: Approximately 50 (19.1%) of the mothers had given one prelacteal feed before initiating colostrum. Cow milk, butter, clean water, sugar, honey, salt, and tea were the most common prelacteal feeds used. Inability to read and write 3.5 (1.14–10.75), giving birth to a male 2.8 (1.23–6.37), home delivery 4.4 (1.78–10.85), breast-feeding initiation after 24 hours 6.4 (2.38–17.18), and previous experience with PLF 3.7 (1.48–9.22) were factors positively associated with PLF.Conclusion and recommendation: It was observed that the prevalence of PLF was relatively high in the study area (19.1%). Education status of the mother, infant’s sex, timing of breast-feeding initiation, site of delivery, and previous experience with PLF were factors associated with PLF. Education should be provided to promote institutional delivery and increase awareness about the importance of exclusive breast-feeding.

Assessment of Knowledge, Practice and Factors Affecting Sunlight Exposure of Infants among Mothers Attending Governmental Health Facilities in Debre Markos Town, East Gojjam, Ethiopia, 2014
No full textBackground- For centuries, sunlight has been used for therapeutic purposes. Parents still expose
their infants to sunlight to treat neonatal jaundice, mostly to supply vitamin D for bone
development as a consequence of health beliefs.
Objective- The main objective of this study was to assess knowledge, practice and factors
affecting sunlight exposure of infants among mothers attending governmental health facilities in
Debre Markos Town, East Gojjam, Ethiopia, 2014.
Method- Cross sectional descriptive study was conducted among mothers attending in under five
and immunization clinics of all government health facilities in Debre Markos Town by taking a
total sample size of 359 from December 1 to 30, 2014. Probability sampling method was used for
the selection of individual respondents. Data was entered using EPI data version 3.1 and analyzed
by SPSS version 16. Binary and multiple logistic regressions were done to show the association
of dependent and independent variables.
Results - Out of 359 respondents identified for the study 96% (n=345) were responded for the
interview. From the total respondents 60% and 55.4% of them had poor knowledge and poor
practice about sunlight exposure respectively. In multivariate analysis mothers’ educational status
had significant association with both knowledge and practice of sunlight exposure of infants.
Conclusion and Recommendations: The findings in this study showed mothers had poor
knowledge and poor practice about sunlight exposure. Therefore, mothers need to be educated
about the importance of sunlight exposure
