Abstract

Background: Acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) is the second-leading cause of death worldwide among children, especially among those aged <5 years. Thus, it is imperative to understand parent caregivers’ perception of ARI and their preventive behaviors. Methods: This descriptive correlation study included 116 parent caregivers at an out-patient department of a 550-bedded Children Hospital, in Mandalay, Myanmar. The correlation between preventive behaviors and parent caregivers’ perception on ARI was measured using Becker’s Health Belief Model-based questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and spearmen’s rank-order collection test were used for data analysis. Results: Our results revealed that parent caregivers’ perception was at a moderate level, and preventive behaviors among parent caregivers were at a poor level during wellness and sickness conditions. The average score of the parent caregivers’ preventive behaviors in ARI was 23.57 ± 3.22). Significant positive relationships were noted between perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and cues to action and preventive behaviors of parent caregivers (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, and p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: The results supported the health belief model: Health care personnel should provide a theory-based health education program toward improving the parent caregivers’ preventive behaviors with ARI children.

Abstract

Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children worldwide, which requires long treatment. This condition and its subsequent treatment change the body's physiology, reducing children’s quality of life. Objective To describe the quality of life in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Java, Indonesia. Methods This descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach included parents who had children with ALL at three referral hospitals in Java, Indonesia, between January 2021 and May 2022. We recruited 188 mothers or fathers who accompanied their children for follow-up visits or hospitalization. Children’s quality of life as the primary outcome was evaluated by parent proxy using the PedsQL 3.0 cancer module. Results Most parents were mothers (81.9%); parents’ ages ranged from 22 to 59 years. The mean age of children was 7.63 (SD 3.85) years, with 63.3% boys and 147 (78.2%) treated in maintenance phase during the study. The mean overall children’s QoL score was 84.37 and it classified as high (73.9% of subjects), no children had very low QoL. The lowest mean sub-scale QoL score was in procedural anxiety (72.25), whereas the highest sub-scale score was in communication (91.56). Conclusion There is an improvement in QoL of children with ALL in Indonesia. However, the procedural anxiety sub-scale requires more interventions to reduce anxiety and alleviate pain during invasive procedures.
