“…Some of the factors identified as influencing morbidity among children include maternal education, maternal age, child's nutritional status, child's age, household wealth, residence, handwashing, sanitation, water source, use of insecticide-treated nets and exposure to information on morbidity, among others. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] For instance, some studies showed that diarrhoea infection is higher among children whose mothers have no education and do not wash their hands after using the toilet. Other studies revealed that malaria and acute respiratory infection are higher among children in rural setting and children whose mothers are 16-17 and 28-33 years of age.…”

BackgroundAlthough under-five mortality reduced globally from 93 per 1000 live births in 1990 to 39 in 2018, sub-Saharan Africa witnessed an increase from 31% in 1990 to 54% in 2018. Morbidity has been reported to contribute largely to these deaths. This study examined the factors that are associated with childhood morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsDemographic and Health Surveys of 31 countries in sub-Saharan Africa were used in this study. The study involved 189 069 children who had or did not have fever, cough or diarrhoea in the 2 weeks preceding the surveys. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were applied in the analysis.ResultsAbout 22% of the children suffered from fever, 23% suffered from cough and 16% suffered from diarrhoea. While the odds of experiencing fever increased by 37% and 18%, respectively, for children from poorest and poorer households, children of women aged 15–24 and 25–34 years are 47% and 23%, respectively, more likely to experience diarrhoea. The probability of suffering from morbidity increased for children who are 12–23 months, of higher order birth, small in size at birth and from households with non-improved toilet facility.ConclusionsThis study has shown that childhood morbidity remains a major health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa with socioeconomic, maternal, child’s and environmental factors playing significant roles. Efforts at addressing this problem should consider these factors.

“…In Ethiopia, there are 55 deaths per 1000 live births in children under-five due to acute respiratory infection, placing it among the world's highest mortality rates [19]. Prior studies indicated that maternal age, residence, maternal hand hygiene information [20], maternal literacy, smoking, use of animal dung as a fuel source, nutritional status [21], absence of a separate kitchen, and lack of windows were significantly associated with acute respiratory infections [22][23][24][25].…”

Background Globally, acute respiratory infections are among the leading causes of under-five child mortality, especially in lower-income countries; it is associated with indoor exposure to toxic pollutants from solid biomass fuel. In Ethiopia, 90% of the population utilizes solid biomass fuel; respiratory illness is a leading health problem. However, there is a paucity of nationally representative data on the association of household cooking place and respiratory infections. Besides, evidence on the variability in the infection based on the data collected at different times is limited. Therefore, this study is intended to assess the association of food cooking place with acute respiratory infections and the variability in households and surveys. Methods The current analysis is based on the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data collected in 2005, 2011, and 2016 and obtained via online registration. The association of food cooking place with acute respiratory infection was assessed using multilevel modeling after categorizing all factors into child level and survey level, controlling them in a full model. The analyses accounted for a complex survey design using a Stata command “svy.” Result A total of 30,895 under-five children were included in this study, of which 3677 (11.9%) children had an acute respiratory infection, with 12.7% in 2005, 11.9% in 2011, and 11.1% in 2016. The risk of having an infection in under-five children in households that cooked food outdoors was 44% lower (AOR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.75) compared to those households that cooked the food inside the house. There was a statistically significant difference among the children among surveys to have an acute respiratory infection. Conclusion The risk of having children with acute respiratory infection is lower in the households of cooking food outdoor compared to indoor. The infection difference in different surveys suggests progress in the practices in either food cooking places or the fuel types used that minimize food cooking places location or the fuel types used that minimizes the risk. But, the infection is still high; therefore, measures promoting indoor cooking in a well-ventilated environment with alternative energy sources should take place.

“…Throughout 2017-2018 the number of children in the Besuki Agriculture area who had to be hospitalized due to ARI was 45%. This result is higher than the number of children with ARI in India (41.6%) (Savitha & Gopalakrishnan, 2018), Northern Ethiopia (27.3%) (Dagne et al, 2020).…”

Besuki Residency well known at agricultural feld. Child and infant mortality in this area is high. Child healthproblems of agricultural-oriented at Besuki Residency no one has research yet. This research uses quantitativemethods that are retrospectives that include child health problems since 2017 until 2018. Quantitative methodis used to collect data on patient characteristics (gender, disease, nursing problems, and age criteria) and illnessto the children’s disease based on agricultural that arise due to activities or agricultural climate. The sampleincluded 807 children at seven hospital scattered in several residency areas using quota sampling technic. Dataanalysis uses confrmatory factor analyze (CFA), with parameter data estimation uses analysis of momentstructures. The result of p-values for health problems to gender = 0.033 (p<0.05), health problems to disease= 0.008 (p<0.05), health problems to nursing problems = 0.000 (p<0.05), health problems to age criteria =0.000 (p<0.05). Fit model value indicates that the model is perfect ft. Child health problems, especially such aspneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria in the agricultural area with an agricultural perspective in the Besuki Residencycan aﬀect gender, disease, nursing problems, and age criteria. So that these health problems require specifchealth interventions or programs according to the characteristics of gender, disease, nursing problems, and agecriteria. The nurse should have a mapping of nursing problems and special agriculture-oriented interventions.
