摘要：

This was a community based thirty cluster survey, carried out in rural Chittagong district, Bangladesh during 1996 with the objective to assess the skill of mothers in preparing packet ORS solution. A total of 420 mothers whose children had been suffering from acute diarrhoea were investigated. There were 377 (89.8%) mothers who demonstrated the preparation of ORS and 43 (10.2%) mothers never ever prepared the solution and were unable to demonstrate the preparation. One hundred and forty (33.3%) mothers were able to demonstrate the preparation correctly and the rest 237 (56.4%) demonstrated the preparation incorrectly. The incorrect preparation was found to be associated significantly with the refusal of ORS solution by the children (p < 0.01). None of the maternal factors were found to be associated with the correctness of preparation of ORS solution except previous exposure of the mother to the demonstration of ORS solution preparation (p < 0.000). Therefore, demonstration of preparation of ORS solution to the mothers should be in built in the health education package of oral rehydration therapy for diarrhoeal diseases.
