Background.
Diarrheal disease is one of the main causes of childhood malnutrition.
In developing countries 30% of pediatric beds are occupied with children having diarrheal disease.
Fluid replacement, continued feeding, and increasing appropriate fluid at home during the diarrhea episodes are the cornerstone of treatment package.
The purpose of this study was to assess feeding practice during diarrheal episodes among children aged 6 to 23 months in Mirab Abaya district, Gamo Gofa Zone, South Ethiopia.
Methods.
Community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from February to March 2016 among children aged 6 to 23 months.
A multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants.
A total of 661 participants were included in our study.
Data were entered into Epi data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS 20.0 statistical software for analysis.
Bivariate and multivariable analysis were done to assess factors associated with feeding practices during a diarrheal episode.
Odds ratio with 95% CI was used to identify a statistically significant association between independent variables and feeding practice during diarrheal episode.
Result.
The proportion of proper feeding practice during diarrheal episode was 467 (70.7%).
Boy children were about 1.6 times [AOR; 1.62 (95%CI=1.04, 2.50)] more likely to receive increased food and fluid than girl children.
Mothers who have one under-five child were 2 times [AOR 2.11 (95% CI =1.
38, 3.23)] more likely to have proper feeding practice during diarrheal episode as compared to those have two and more under-five children.
The likelihood of increasing food and fluid during diarrheal episodes was 2 times [AOR 2.46 (95% CI=1.
55, 3.88)] higher among children from maternal age of 30-39 years than those from 20-29 years.
Mothers who get information about feeding practices during diarrheal episodes were 2 times [AOR 2.19 (95% CI=1.
43, 3.36)] more likely to increase food and fluid to their child compared to their counterparts.
Conclusion.
In this study educational status, number of antenatal care visits, sex, number of under-5 children, maternal age, and mothers information about feeding practice were independently associated with feeding practices during a diarrheal episode.
Therefore, intensive intervention programme should focus on these determinants to reduce child mortality and morbidity and realize sustainable development goals.
