INTRODUCTION
– Diarrhoea is the passage of three or more loose or
watery stools in a day (WHO,2017). The depleting
body fluids during diarrhoea episodes causes
dehydration leading to child mortality. Globally,
diarrhoea diseases are the second main cause of
childhood mortality after pneumonia.
INTRODUCTION
– A significant number of diarrhoea cases are often
related to poor hygiene practices and inadequate
sanitation.
– This study sought to determine the factors that
influence the management practices of mothers for
children under five years with diarrhoea.

DISCUSSION
– Perception of mothers about diarrhoea severity and susceptibility (Greenland et al, 2016; Kundu et al, 2010).
– Poor knowledge of mothers in this study had about the general management of diarrhoea was found to be in agreement with other studies (Ogunrinde et al, 2011; Greenland et al, 2016)
– Factors such as demographic features, cues to action, mothers’ knowledge and threat perception predicted management practices of the mothers. The factors included (Pandey et al, 2002; Diouf et al , 2014).
CONCLUSION AND
RECOMENDATION
– Policies on gender equality should be strengthened and should involve children under age five years. This is because of a major finding of this study that mothers with male children were more likely to manage diarrhoeal diseases better as compared with mothers of female children.
– Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service should enforce the principles underlying the rational use of medicines to ensure prescription of antibiotics only when needed.
– Ensure that in-service training within all facilities under Ghana Health service jurisdiction is offered on a regular basis.
