6. INTTRODUCTION:

“THIS THE MIND THAT MAKES THE BODY RICH”1

Children are vulnerable group of society. Mothers are here on earth to take care of the

children . over the past decades, peadiatric acute gastroentiritis has been the study of

considerable world wide attention and effort. Gastroenteritis means inflammation of the

lining of the stomach and intestainal mucosa. Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe

gastroenteritis in young children world wide. Rotavirus has been long been recognized as a

leading cause of acute diarrheal disease in young children throughout both the developed and

developing world. The debilitating nature of rotavirus is reflected in that an estimated one-

third of all diarrheal pediatric hospital admissions globally can be attributed to this viral

agent. The actual number of rotavirus infection with associated diarrhea is probably much

greater because severity appears diminished resulting from immunologic tolerance evolving

from repeat exposures.2

Rotavirus infection is generally characterized by vomiting, fever and watery diarrhea with

incubation ranging from 24to 72hrs. severe debilitating diarrheal disease and associated

fatalities are frequently attributed to this enteric viral pathogens. Particularly in developing

countries. Where young children are often already immunologically compromised, example

poor nutritional status, person to person transmission is principally via fecal oral

contamination and exposure while seasonality implicating colder month has been recognized

in more temperature climates occurrence in tropical regions is year round. This investigation

promoted by anecdotal diarrheal outbreak reports Kupang, West timor, Indonasia was

designed to provide recognition of evidence of epidemic occurrence via trend analysis,

associated etiology, affected population and community impact and determinants

contribution to transmission.3

Bacterial gastroenteritis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality world wide.

Epidemiologic investigations indicate that in less than 36% of cases where diarrhea appears

to be an infectious etiology ,no agent can be recovered . This suggest that there is still a

number of new bacterial and viral enter pathogens yet to be discovered or proven to be

causes of gastroenteritis . This review shows that the present information in medical literature

for a number gram negative bacterial belonging to five separate families implicated as causes

of infectious gastroenteritis .4

A study conducted on costs of community –acquired pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis in

seven European countries , a prospective epidemiologic study of acute gastroenteritis in

children less than 5 years of age in selected areas of Belgium, France, German, Italy, Spain,

Sweden and the united kingdom we calculated the average cost per episode of confirmed

rotavirus gastroenteritis in primary care, emergency department and hospital settings. The

result shows that total society cost (including direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect

cost ) Per episode of gastroenteritis ranged from 166 euros to 473 euros in primary care

setting, from 334 euros to 770 euros in emergency setting, from 1525 euros to 2101 euros

hospital setting. The study conclude that rotavirus gastroenteritis in cure considerable

resource utilization all healthcare setting and substantial cost for national health care payers

families of patients and employers. Routine rotavirus prevention in children could be

significantly reduce the health and economic burden of pediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis.5

A study was conducted on incidence impact on the family and cost of Gastroentritis among

3-5 years old children in South Austrlia(2006). This study shows that the incidence of

community Gastroenteritis among 3-5 year children was 5.53 episodes per child year .This

conclude that the incidence of community Gastroenteritis among 3-5 year children in South

population high and need to beprevention of Gastrenteritis through improve the mothers

knowledge and practice.6

A study conducted Acute gastroenteritis: does mother's knowledge of the disease reduce

admission of children under two years of age(2004). shows that There was statistical

association between patient admission with acute diarrhea and poor social-economic

conditions (p = 0.01);a study conclude that study disclosed association between admission of

children under two years of age with gastroenteritis and poor social-economic conditions.7

6.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY :

Worldwide approximately 500 million children are suffers which gastroenteritis each year

and 20% of all deaths of children are due to gastroentiritis in rural area.8

A study conducted on Burden of disease and molecular epidemiology of group rotavirus

infections (2007) in India. Rotavirus is the major cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in

young children worldwide.Considerable research has been carried out on rotavirus disease in

India. This review collated data from 46 epidemiological studies to determine rotavirus

positivity rates and genotypes of infecting rotavirus strains from various settings in

India.Studies on diarrhea presenting to hospitals, neonatal rotavirus infections, symptomatic

and symptomatic infections in the community and nosocomial enteric infections were

included. Rotavirus positivity rates varied greatly between different settings - diarrhoea

hospitalizations (20%), neonatal infections (35%), symptomatic and asymptomatic infections

in the community (15.1% and 6.3% respectively) and nosocomial enteric infections (22.5%).9

A study conducted on gastroenteritis hospitalization in Newzeland children under 3 years of

age (2006). . The aim of the study is to describe the epidemiology of severe rotavirus

gastroenteritis and to estimate the hospitalization rates of this illness in this Newzeland

children under 3 years of age. Methods are children under 3 years of age with acute diarrhea

admitted to 1of 8 study hospital between one may 1998 and 30 April 2000 were surveyed.

This study shows that estimated national hospitalization rate for Rotavirus in children under

3 years of age 634per 100000 in Newzeland rotavirus result in 1 in 52 children being

hospitalized by 3 years of age. This study conclude that rotavirus gastroenteritis is an

important preventable cause of hospitalization in Newzeland children.10

A study was conducted on peadric burden of Gastroenteritis diseases in Europe (2006).This

sudy shows that burden of Gastroenteritis diseases in < 5 years old childen Europe .An

estimated 7200-7700 hospitalizatin for community acquried Rotavirus disease occurred in

annually 23 million under five living in Europe .The study concluded that concludes that to

evaluate the impact and effectiveness of rotavirus gastroenteritis prevention programme in

Europe, additional epidemiological studies will be critical desirable.11

A study was conducted on incidence ofGastroenteritis of among young Indian

children(2004).Gastroenteritis climing over 3million young lives in the world every year , is

the second biggest killer of children in developing countries using data 1300 children in rural

India under the age of 3 years.12

Rotavirus is the most important cause of severe life threatiatening Gastroenterits (2003) in

India. children accounting for 20%-70% of hospitalization of children world wide in India

incidence of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis from 5%-70% . Early diagnosis is essential for

effective treatment and is aprerequsite for the prevention and control of potential out

break .the aim of study was to determine the incidence of rotovirus infection in children

below five years.13

A study was conducted on prospective evaluation of community acquired gastroenteritis in

pediatric impact and disease burden of rotavirus infection(2001). shows that the incidence of

community acquired gastroenteritis was4.67 per 100 children per year and of rotavirus

positive gastroenteritis 1.33 per 100 children per year . Study conclude that rotavirus is a

relevant cause community acquired gastroenteritis in children aged 4 years and younger

treated by pediatrician. The data can be used as basis for developing strategies to prevent

infection.14

A study conducted on prevelance of rotavirus dirrhoea among hospitalised children (1999) in

pune India. Shows that in developing countries, gastroenteritis leads to an estimaed 600,000

to 870,00deaths each year , acccounting for 20-25%of all deaths due to diarrhoea and 6% of

alldeaths among children under5 year of age 2.Iin India 20-30% hospitalised cases of

dirrhoea are due to rotovirus . This study reports the prevelance of Rotovirus gastroentiritis

among hospitalised childrens and its association with risk factors such as age ,sex and

seasonlity on the rotavirus diarrhoea have been reported.15

A study conducted on rotovirus gastroentiritis impact on young children,their families and

the health care system(1997)in Sydney. The study design is cross-sectional descriptive

survey setting is new children’s hospital ( Royal Alexander hospital for children ) Sydney,

new south wales, 15th July to 4th October 1996. Participants children age under 3 year

attending the emergency department with acute diarrhea as the presenting symptom (1997).

This study results that 188 children with confirmed rotovirus infection 78% were aged 7-24

months and 82% visited atleast one other health care worker ,usually a general practioner.

Sevenity (37%of 188)were admitted to hospital 33 of these (47%) were aged 13-24 months.

This study reveals that rotovirus gastroentiritis has significant impact on young children,their

families and the health care system. Prevention of severe disease through improve the level

of knowledge and practice of mothers.16

Area there is a lack of health education and knowledge awareness among mothers of under

five children.Investigator during the posting found that may mothers are admitted their

children to hospital with gastroenteritis . So investigator felt that if the mothers understood

about gastroenteritis and its prevention it may reduce incidence rate, reducing complication

and mortality rate among under five children and also it may increase the knowledge and

practice toward the prevention among mothers.

Hence the investigator felt the need to prepare planned teaching programme to educative the

knowledge of mothers regarding gastroenteritis and its prevention.

6.12 REVIEW OF LITERATURE: Literature review is a standard requisition of scientific research. It means reading and writing

the pertinent information of the attempt in research topic to understand better about the

proposed topic. It also supports and explains why the proposed topics taken for research and

avoid unnecessary duplication, explore the

Feasibility and illuminate way to new research.17

A study conducted on Economic and health burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis for 2003 birth

cohort in Latin American & carbben countries (2007).An economic model was constructed

using epidemiological data from published articles, national health administration studies and

country specific cost estimates. The model estimated the rotavirus outcomes for the 2003

birth cohort during first 5 years of life. This study shows that estimated that gastroenteritis

would result in an average of 246 output visits 24 hospitalization ,0.6 deaths .this study

conclude that rotavirus gastroenteritis is likely to the result in substantial diseases .18

A study conducted on epidemiology and characterization of rotavirus gastroenteritis in

Malaysia (2006). . the aim of study was tom determine the proportion of hospitalization for

diarrhea attributable to rotavirus among children under five years of age and to estimate the

disease burden of rotavirus diarrhea Malaysia. a cross sectional study conducted on children

0-59 months of age admitted for acute gastroenteritis Kuala Lumpur hospital or Hospital

Umum Sarwak were surveyed. The study shows the highest rate of rotavirus associated

diarrhea was among children age 6-17 months accounting for 55% of rotavirus. This study

conclude that rotavirus was responsible for 38% of hospitalization for gastroenteritis it was

most common in 6-17 months.19

Consumption of untreated tank rain water and gastroenteritis among young children (2006)in

South Australia. A cohort study of 10164 to 6 years old children who drank rain water or

treated mains water in rural South Australia was under taken in 1999. This study result that

the incidence of gastroenteritis among children 3.8 – 5.3 episodes per child year. But most

episodes (60%) lasted just one day. No increase in odds of gastroenteritis was observed

among children who drank rain water compared with treated mains water. The adjusted odd

ratio for gastroenteritis associated with rain water consumption compared with the mains

consumption was 0.84 (95% confidence interval 0.63 – 1.13). This study concludes that

gastroenteritis was found to be significant cause of morbidity among young children. Young

children who work regular consumers of tank rain water, were at no greater odds of

gastroenteritis than those who drank treated public mains water. 20

A study conducted on Gastroenterits prevention through food safety education in Gujarath

India (2004).This study shows that Improvement in the practice of hand-washing and

avoidance of feeding leftovers to children was seen. There was reduction in the microbial

load in the hand rinse samples of both mothers and children. This study conclude that

effective change agents and food safety education was successful in bringing about a positive

behavior modification in mothers.21

A study conducted on Maternal knowledge, attitude and practices towasds Diarrhea in rural

Maharastra ,India (2001). The method is 75 mothers of under 5 children participated in this

study. They were interviewed by an interviewer using pre-designed and pre-tested

questionnaire. This study shows that nearly half of the mothers were not practicing adequate

hand washing.this study conclude that the maternal knowledge towards the dirrhea was

inadequate in the population studied and there was actual and desired practices.22.

A study conducted knowledge and practice of mother about infant’s gastroenteritis episodes

in Soudhi Arbia (2000). . This study subject included 300 million (150 from sulaimanira

pediatric hospital and 150 from maternal child hospital) with diarrheal episodes during the

study period selected by systematic random sampling. Data was collected via a structured

open ended poilet tested modified questionnaire filled in trained Arabic speaking research

assistants who interviewed mothers about diarrheal aspects of their infants, assessed their

knowledge and practice concerning diarrheal disease in children as well as collecting the

necessary sociodemographicaL character tics of the mothers and infants themselves. This

study shows that mother’s knowledge about many aspects of gastroenteritis was grossly

deficient but tends to increase with increasing age, education level, and birth order. Mother’s

practices were better but still deficient and sources of information about gastroenteritis were

mostly from non health professionals. This study concludes that intervention strategies to

control under five gastroenteritis episodes needs to be through an integrated approach aiming

at boosting mothers knowledge and improving their concerning gastroenteritis.23

.

.

A study conducted on maternal knowledge on risk behavioral practices and it's

association with diarrhea in a rural community of West Bengal, India (1998). This study

shows that Risk of gastroenteritis amongst children of mothers having risk practice without

knowledge as compared to those who utilized their knowledge to avoid risk practice was

found significantly higher (p < or = 0.005) except for bottle feeding (p = 0.330). The results

of this study indicate that children can be protected significantly from gastroenteritis if

mothers' gastroenteritis behaviors can be altered through educational intervention.24
