Analysis of related influencing factors and prevention and treatment measures of infectious diarrhea in children
Objective To explore the related factors of infectious diarrhea in children,and provide some basis for clinical prevention and treatment strategies.Methods A total of 60 children with infectious diarrhea admitted to the People's Hospital of Ji'an Qingyuan District from March 2020 to March 2023 were assigned to the observation group,and 65 healthy children who physical examination in The People's Hospital of Ji'an Qingyuan District during the same period were assigned to the control group.The data of age and sex of the two groups were collected,and the related influencing factors of infectious diarrhea were explored by logistic regression analysis model.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender,age,household registration,residence,parents'education level,children's hand washing after defecation,and the proportion of parents'hand washing after defecation(P>0.05);The proportion of children in the obser-vation group who did not wash their hands before meals,had finger sucking behavior,did not disinfect the ta-bleware,did not handle leftovers in a timely manner,had poor hygiene of their fingernails,and had been ex-posed to diarrhea in the past week were higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statis-tically significant(x2=23.706,25.893,37.987,52.377,13.556,15.342,P<0.05);Logistic regression analy-sis showed that children did not wash their hands before meals(OR=6.833,95%CI=3.044-15.340),had finger sucking behavior(OR=7.142,95%CI=3.247-15.709),did not disinfect tableware(OR=12.146,95%CI=5.199-28.375),did not handle leftovers in a timely manner(OR=22.000,95%CI=8.731-55.437),and had poor fingernail hygiene(OR=3.941,95%CI=1.872-8.297),exposure to diarrhea patients in the past week(OR=4.400,95%CI=2.058-9.405)were the risk factors for the onset of infectious diar-rhea in children(P<0.05).Conclusion Parents should take effective preventive measures against the above risk factors,pay attention to children's hand hygiene and food hygiene in many aspects,and avoid contact with diarrhea patients,which can reduce the occurrence of infectious diarrhea.
