| Abstract |
Pneumonia is a forgotten killer particularly in children
under 5 years old. Their caregivers have adequate knowledge,
attitude, and practice, the preventable measures can be achieved.
This study was to determine the level and relationship of KAP among
caregivers of children under 5 years old about pneumonia prevention
at the National Pediatric Hospital in Cambodia. Total 113 caregivers
were included by purposive sampling. The results revealed that the
caregivers’ knowledge (K) about pneumonia was good (77%),
moderate (18.6%), and poor (4.4%). The attitude (A) towards
pneumonia prevention was strongly agreed (55.8%), moderately
agreed (16.8%), and disagreed (27.4%) and the practice (P) to
prevent pneumonia was good (67.9%), moderate (23.9%), and poor
(6.2%). The statistically significant positive linear correlation of K-P
(rs=0.401, p=0.000) was found, while the correlation of K-A (rs =-
0.089), and A-P (rs =-0.015) were negative linear correlations.
Moreover, the significant demographic factors associated with the
practice were the income of caregivers (p-value 0.003) and
children’s sex (p-value 0.032). This study revealed both good and
poor portions of knowledge, attitude, and practice which is needed to
improve more among the caregivers regarding pneumonia prevention
in children under 5 years old. Therefore, effective intervention is
required for caregivers to strengthen their KAP in certain parts
regarding pneumonia prevention in children under 5 years old to
reduce the incidence and mortality rate of this preventable disease. |
