“…24 The findings corroborate an Indian study, which found that educated mothers' heightened concern for child health issues that was associated with a decreased likelihood of child accidents. 25 Geographically lower areas (especially in Bangladesh's southern region) are regularly submerged in water; therefore, children in these areas are at greater risk than those in Bangladesh's higher regions because of their physical location. This research was done to learn more about how poverty influences a child's chance of drowning.…”

“…Child care has been enhanced by better mother education and socioeconomic level. 16,24,25 Though drowning is a serious public health issue, it has not received the same attention as other significant causes of infant death. Immaturity and defeatism may be partly responsible for the failure of public awareness campaigns.…”

Background World Health Organization (WHO) has classified drowning as a major public health problem. The most vulnerable victims of drowning are children from low and middle‐income countries. Previously, it was the primary cause of death among children aged between 1 and 17 years in Bangladesh. Aims This study explored the surrounding circumstances and associated factors of child drownings in Bangladesh. Methods A qualitative phenomenological approach has been used to conduct the study. Bangladesh was chosen as the study area, and data were gathered using a semi‐structured, open‐ended questionnaire. Using convenience and snowball sampling methods, we have collected data from Dhaka and seven additional districts in Bangladesh. We reached a total of 44 individuals, where 22 agreed to participate in an interview (face‐to‐face and online interviews). The remaining 22 participants were selected in two focus group discussions via the web platform “ZOOM cloud meeting.” Results Our investigation revealed several factors associated with child drowning, including a lack of adequate parental supervision and monitoring, geographic locations and environment, seasonal factors, low living standards, peer pressure and risky behaviors, social stigma and prejudices, and natural disasters and calamities. According to our findings, a lower socioeconomic position is linked to a higher risk of nonfatal drowning. Moreover, this research also indicates a substantial nexus between child drowning fatalities and the socioeconomic conditions of the families of the victims. Conclusion The study adds to the existing body of knowledge by underlining the associated factors of child drowning fatalities in Bangladesh, which will aid in developing preventive policies. An essential aspect of any drowning prevention program for Bangladesh should be enhanced for community awareness of safe water rescue and resuscitation practices.

Specific directed efforts are required to study the problem and develop suitable communication strategies to retract the unintentional injuries in children as globally, injuries have turn out to be the universal and foremost cause of death among the children (WHO, 2012) and simultaneously it is a neglected epidemic in India (Jagnoor, et al., 2012). Accordingly, 180 mothers of Udaipur (Rajasthan) were selected through a stratified purposive sampling technique using a self designed questionnaire to elicit response regarding the safety practices of mothers regarding the three prevalent unintentional injuries i.e. Burns, Scalds and Electrocution, Poisoning and Drowning among children of 4-6 year age. From the study results, it can be divulged that despite the reality that Burns, Scalds and Electrocution and Poisoning were alarming, less than half (40.6% and 44.2%) of the mothers did not realized the importance of following the safety measures relevant to these two injuries but mothers did added efforts to prevent Drowning as 61.9% were following the safe practices regarding this injury. These set of findings facilitated in formulating innovative and targeted communication strategies so that, a few key steps can be taken forward by the mothers in the battle to trim down injuries from the blooming lives each day.

Background:Child care is mostly the responsibility of mothers. Several studies have revealed that the mothers’ education has a positive impact on their knowledge and practice in child health matters.Objectives:The study was undertaken to assess the level of mothers’ knowledge on certain aspects of child health care and whether there is any correlation between their level of knowledge and the number of years of formal education they have had.Materials and Methods:A two-part questionnaire was distributed. The first part comprised information about mother's nationality, age, work, level of education and number of children, in addition to sources of health information and the role of school education in child health matters. The second part contained 40 statements about different aspects of child health matters. A structured interview with the mothers who attended with their children at the pediatric outpatient clinic of King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh during July and August 2007, was conducted by a trained non-medical research assistant using the items and statements of the questionnaire as a base. A knowledge score was calculated from the number of correct answers. The maximum score was 40. An arbitrary cut-off score of 25 was considered satisfactory.Results:Three-hundred-seventy-three questionnaires were completed. The mean score of the total sample was 25 (out of 40) and the minimum score obtained was 14, and the maximum 36. Fifty-eight percent scored 25 or more. Scrutiny of individual items on the questionnaire revealed significant and serious gaps in mother's knowledge. No statistically significant correlation was evident between mothers’ knowledge of child health related matters and level of education, age, or number of children.Conclusion:Mothers’ knowledge of child health related matters is deficient. At present, knowledge on child health matters taught in schools in the Kingdom is inadequate. Health care institutions play a limited role in health education. There should be proper effective practical means of disseminating information on child health matters among mothers in our community.
