Various Global agencies recommend that Infants should be exclusively breast fed for 6 months and appropriate complementary feeding should be started at the age of six months without discontinuing breastfeeding. Though there are many awareness programmes of the Government, there are still many wrong practices and myths associated with infant feeding. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge about breast feeding and complementary feeding in pregnant women. Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in the Field Practice area of a Medical College In Maharashtra. There were 80 pregnant women in the 10 adopted villages. 58 women were interviewed for the study by the principal investigator after obtaining consent, with the help of a pretested, IYCF questionnaire formulated by Breast feeding Promotion Network of Results: Out of the 58 women interviewed, all were married and majority 50, (86.20%) were housewives. 46(79.31%) belonged to joint families. 32(55.17%) were primigravida and 26 (44.87%) were multigravida.93% had knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding but only 72% knew the correct time of initiation.57% felt that pre-lacteal foods should be given. 47% knew correct age of giving complementary foods but variety of foods to be given was not known. Myths regarding complementary foods are prevalent. 60% believed that bottle feeding should not be given. Level of education has a positive impact on infant feeding practices. Recommendations: Education regarding infant and young child feeding practices should be given to all pregnant women and also to their family members","PeriodicalId":401938,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Community Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131257146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Domestic accidents have not so far been recognized to the same extent as traffic and work-related injuries, largely because they have not been effectively counted. Very few studies are available regarding domestic accidents in India, and there is no study available from the rural areas. Hence the present study was undertaken with an aim to assess the prevalence of domestic accidents in a rural community. Aim & Objective: To assess the prevalence of domestic accidents in a rural community. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the rural field practice area of Katuri Institute of Medical Sciences, Guntur. Totally 5419 individuals were selected from 30 clusters using Cluster Sampling Technique. In each cluster, 178 individuals (some clusters had more than 178 individuals) were surveyed by house-to-house visit. Information about domestic accidents among the family members in the past one year was obtained by interviewing the head of the family or responsible adult informant using a pre-tested structured proforma. The data was compiled and analyzed. Results: Among 5419 individuals, 2748 (50.9%) were males and 2671 (49.1%) were females. Prevalence of domestic accidents in the rural community was found to be 9.6%, majority (21.8%) of domestic accidents are observed in children 1-4 years of age. Most common domestic accidents reported were falls (43.2%). Majority (44.1%) of domestic accidents occurred in the morning hours.

Methodology: It is comparative cross sectional study Results: In the present study, total mean hemoglobin of students is 10.95±4.43. In rural area, mean hemoglobin is 10.49±1.71 which is low compared to the mean hemoglobin levels of students in urban area 11.42±5.99. The contributing factors of anemia seen in this study are: low socioeconomic status, onset of menarche, nuclear families, vegetarian diet, religion and caste, birth order, body mass index, deworming, age of menarche and menstrual cycle length. Some students experienced symptoms like lack of concentration, headache, tiredness, lack of interest in studies, leg cramps, dizziness, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat due to anemia. On examining the students, most of them were having palmar pallor, tongue pallor, nail pallor and conjunctival pallor. The adolescent girls are facing various menstrual health problems like abdominal pain, menorrhagea, polymenorrhoea etc. In this study, students who have heavy menstrual flow were prone to anemia. Knowledge and practices of students of urban area like frequency of changing pads and disposal of sanitary pads in dustbins were better than the students in rural area. While students in rural area were using sanitary pads more than the students in urban area Conclusion: The findings of the study can be used for planning programs, making new policies for improving the level of information especially, for rural adolescent girls. So, students should be educated regarding improvement of their nutrition, diet and exercise, hand washing, health seeking behavior and life style habits in order to build healthy nation.","PeriodicalId":401938,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Community Medicine","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114380466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
