“…The majority of parents were involved in household work, for both groups. This is similar to the ndings of a study conducted 20,21 in Bangladesh in which the information concerning the parents activity prior to the child drowning showed that 70% of mothers were busy with household activities, and with Rahman et al (2006) 7,22 who found that at the time of the child drowning, 80% of the mothers were at home. Moreover, about two-thirds of the drowning deaths occurred when the mothers were involved in household chores.…”

Background Drowning is the third leading cause of death for children aged 0–4 years in many Asian countries, and is a serious but neglected health problem in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, drowning rates are 10 to 20 times more than those in other developed countries. The aim of the effectiveness of a mobile SMS intervention to improve the environmental knowledge of parents of children aged under five concerning the prevention of drowning.Methods Design: a cluster randomized community trial with 788 parents of children aged under five in a rural community of Bangladesh. Intervention: Mobile SMS intervention for parents of children under five years concerning the prevention of drowning. Outcome: association in environmental knowledge of parents concerning the prevention of drowning between the baseline and immediate follow-up after the intervention, and after three months.Results There was a significant improvement in environmental knowledge in the intervention group compared to the control group at different at baseline, immediately after intervention and 3-months after intervention. The associated factors for drowning included the time (11:00am-2:00 pm), lack of swimming ability, parents who were not aware about childhood drowning, unwanted ditches that were not filled in, lack of medical facilities, and lack of information through mass media for the prevention of childhood drowning.Conclusion Special programmes and training could be increase knowledge about childhood drowning prevention in Bangladesh and should be broadcast on the radio and television networks.Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN13774693, 08/03/2015.

“…13 Thus, while drowning-related deaths are preventable, interventions remain low in number and lack adequate research pertaining to effectiveness. 14 The objective of this study was to provide an analysis of an existing classroom-based water safety education program in Vietnam aimed at reducing the number of youth drownings. The pilot survey data provide a preliminary look into knowledge attainment and knowledge gaps in the educational program studied.…”

Youth drowning continues to be a primary public health issue globally with Eurasian countries experiencing some of the highest recorded rates of injury and death in aquatic settings. The country of Vietnam is currently working toward reducing the number of youth drowning fatalities. Part of these efforts is the introduction of an in-school water safety educational program. For this study, pilot pre/post data were acquired and used to assess overall knowledge acquisition and changes in knowledge of youth in grades 1 to 5 in central Vietnam. A total of 229 schools participated, resulting in 40 198 usable surveys. The results indicated that overall there was a significant change in scores with an acceptable effect size between measures. Mean scores for each of the water safety messages were rated as acceptable (above 90%), satisfactory (between 70% and 90%), and areas of concern (under 70%). Recommendations were made to program leaders about identified areas of concern.

“…Moreover, Case 7 also experienced being labelled by family members, which contributed to their feelings of isolation. In relation to this, when families and society treat patients negatively, so that they are isolated and excluded when found to be HIV positive, the disease will spread in a clandestine mode of transmission and a major part of the infected population will remain hidden [36][37][38][39] .…”

Background: In Malaysia, there are still lack of studies related to the challenges of people infected with HIV (PIWH). Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the experiences of PIWH and how they cope with HIV. Methods: This qualitative study was based on a social constructivist and grounded theory approach. A total of 12 PIWH were selected by purposive sampling, all of whom participated in semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews, which were supported with non-participant observations and diary entries on three occasions for each participant. The interviews and diaries were transcribed and analysed using the grounded theory approach, which was assisted by utilizing NVIVO-8 to identify the themes related to the experiences of the participants. Results: PIWH experienced challenges related to their career and relationships with family and others. These challenges led to difficulties in gaining employment and career development, as well as feelings of denial, being uncomfortable, rejection, and labelling. They found that their lives were totally and dramatically changed after being tested positive for HIV. Conclusions: Among PIWH, HIV impacted relationships with significant others and career development. The absence of support and acceptance from significant others affected the ability of PIWH to cope with their daily challenges. The results of this study have implications for policymakers in terms of gaining sufficient knowledge and awareness to provide prevention programmes for HIV/AIDS.
