Abstract

The study was conducted from 2013 to 2017 in Miya ward Ganjuwa local government, Bauchi state, to ascertain the incidence of malaria in children aged 0 to 5. The majority of patients, particularly those under five, who visit the health facility in the Miya Ward clinic have been found to have malaria.  This is demonstrated by their epidemiological record, which was acquired at the health facility during the research project. The study project is anticipated to be important for the residents of the Miya ward clinic, especially the children under five, as well as for the government and non-governmental organizations to have a better understanding of the issues that are currently being faced.  Male children are more likely than female children to contract malaria, according to the results of this study, which was conducted using a descriptive research design in which data was collected using a methodical approach and the characteristics of specific variables related to the study were explained. Additionally, it was found that malaria is usually quite common during the rainy season.  Finally, more study should be done to determine the frequency of malaria in children throughout the whole Miya Ganjuwa local government in Bauchi state

Abstract

The study was conducted in Tadnum Community, Bogoro Local Government Area, Bauchi State, to assess mothers’ awareness and practices in the prevention of malnutrition among under-five children. The main objective was to evaluate mothers’ awareness regarding malnutrition prevention. A descriptive survey design was used, involving 108 mothers selected through the snowball sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 29.0. Results were presented through frequency tables, percentages, means, pie charts, and standard deviations. Findings revealed that mothers had good awareness of malnutrition, as most agreed that proper nutrition during pregnancy supports fetal growth, with a mean score of 2.8. However, their preventive practices were found to be low. About 57% of mothers did not practice exclusive breastfeeding, while 54% failed to maintain a balanced diet during pregnancy. Factors hindering effective malnutrition prevention included food inaccessibility (57%) and cultural beliefs. The study recommends empowering health workers to strengthen nutrition education and support mothers in adopting good feeding practices. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and encouraging the introduction of nutritious complementary foods thereafter are essential strategies to reduce malnutrition among under-five children in the study area.
