Resumen

CERVANTES BAUTE, Isidra de la Caridad; BOSCH GOVEA, Mariela  y  ARMERO PEREZ, Graciela. Valoración del conocimiento de las madres sobre las diarreas y su prevención. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2001, vol.17, n.1, pp.56-59. ISSN 0864-0319.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out among 260 mothers of children under one year old from the "Victoria de Girón" Teaching Polyclinic, in Palma Soriano, from January, 1998, to January, 1999. The aim of this paper was to assess their knowledge about diarrheal disease and its prevention. A previously prepared survey was used. According to the results, most of them considered parasites as the fundamental cause of diarrheas and less than a fourth associated it with poor hygiene. None of them restricted breast feeding and almost all of them knew how to prepare the oral rehydration salts. The information was always obtained at the primary health care level.
