The purpose of this study was to explore the knowledge and practices of
caregivers/mothers of under-five children with diarrhoea-related illnesses admitted at the
referral hospital.
The setting for this qualitative study was the referral hospital located in the Sol Plaatje
Municipality, Northern Cape Province.
Unstructured interviews were conducted with caregivers/mothers of under-five children
with diarrhoea admitted to the referral hospital. Colliazzi’s seven steps of data analysis
(1998) as cited in Bazeley (2013:65) were used to analyse data.
The study population was the caregivers/mothers of children with diarrhoea admitted to
the referral hospital.
The findings assisted us in understanding the knowledge the caregivers/mothers had with
regard to the management of diarrhoea and in improving the health education guide used
to teach caregivers/mothers. / Health Studies / M.A (Public Health)
