Abstract

Perceptions and intentions about breastfeeding, especially among adolescents who represent future parents vary widely. Understanding these views is essential for designing impactful health education programs. This study aimed to assess perceptions and intentions toward breastfeeding among adolescents in Bangladesh. Method used a cross-sectional survey conducted on 132 adolescents aged 14-18 years from urban and rural areas of Bangladesh, who were selected through appropriate sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Analysis was conducted using a computer program that used descriptive and inferential statistics. Significant relationships were identified between breastfeeding perception and several socio-demographic factors such as class level (t=2.107, p=.037), mother’s education level (t=2.215, p=.029), father’s education level (F=5.189, p=.007), and source of information on breastfeeding (F=4.290, p=.006). Additionally, a positive correlation was found between the number of siblings and breastfeeding perceptions (r=.047, p=.047). On the other hand, no significant relationship between a range of socio-demographic factors and adolescents' intentions regarding breastfeeding in Bangladesh was noticed in this study. P<.05 was used as the significant of this study. It is concluded that educational interventions that address both male and female adolescents, emphasizing the health benefits of breastfeeding and overcoming social barriers, are crucial for promoting a supportive breastfeeding culture.

Abstract

Thalassemia, a prevalent genetic disorder in Bangladesh, poses a heavy burden on families and the healthcare system. This thesis examines the perceptions and attitudes of mothers towards thalassemia in children, aiming to understand their knowledge of the disease, coping mechanisms, and interactions with healthcare providers. The study aimed to evaluate the maternal understanding and attitudes concerning thalassemia in children in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 112 mothers from the pediatric ward and outpatient department at Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barisal. A convenience sampling method was employed to select participants. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire divided into three sections and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics (t-test, ANOVA, Correlation) were applied for analysis. The average age of participants was 27 years (SD=5.822). The total mean perception (30.33±10.647) and attitude (18.80±5.451) levels were moderate and high among this study’s respondents, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between participants' age and their perception of thalassemia (r= -0.203, p=0.032). Statistically significant relationships were also found between participants' religion and perception (F=10.106, p=0.000), occupation level and perception (F=4.224, p=0.007), and residential area and perception (t=-2.442, p=0.016). The findings revealed a strong association between sociodemographic factors and mothers' perceptions and attitudes about thalassemia. Raising awareness through educational campaigns and prevention programs could help control thalassemia. Educated mothers are better equipped to provide care, improving health outcomes for children with thalassemia.
