A Study on the Relationship of Health-seeking Behavior of Mothers and Occurrence of Acute Respiratory Illness (ARI) and Diarrhea Among their Youngest Child Less than 5 Years Old / 6 6 Researchers:Aguilera, Chrys Kristofferson; Baviera, Denise Carla; Bombeta, Ruben Ver; Catrillo, Mary Jofel; Cordero, Alexis; De Jesus, Monina; De Leon, Noelle; Delgado, Anne Bianca. - - - - - - - - . - . - 0 . - . - 0 .

Two hundred and twenty mothers with children less than 5 years old were interviewed and asked about the presence or absence of ARI and/or diarrhea and their health-seeking behaviors. The group used a cross-sectional study design and the results were analysed using univariate, bivariate and stratified analysis. The results show that more than half of the study subjects had ARI and 40% of the subjects has diarrhea. The occurrence of diarrhea urges mothers to self-medicate (OR 3.0, CI 0.63-14.30) and has less chances of seeking consultations from medical practitioners (OR 0.42, CI 0.13-1.31). The effects of confounding variables like educational attainment and age of mothers cannot be disregarded. However, the occurrence of ARI has no association to the health-seeking behaviour of mothers, both on history of consultation and self-medication.
