Effectiveness of Selected Nursing Care Modalities on Skin Integrity of Genitalia Among Infants Diagnosed with AGE (Acute Gastro Enteritis) in Pediatric Ward of Selected Hospitals.

Abstract

Acute gastroenteritis is a common infectious disease syndrome, causing a combination of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Acute gastroenteritis usually last fewer than 14 days. Acute gastroenteritis is caused by many infectious agents, but most of the time clostridium difficile is the predominant causative factor. The goal of the study was to assess effectiveness of selected Nursing care modalities on skin integrity of genitalia among infants diagnosed with AGE (acute gastro enteritis) in pediatric ward of selected hospitals. Methodology: The current research was designed to assess the effectiveness of selected Nursing care modalities on skin integrity of genitalia among infants diagnosed with AGE (acute gastro enteritis) in pediatric ward of selected hospitals. This research employed a Quasi experimental research design as well as one group pre test post test control group design. The research was carried out among 30 infants in pediatric ward of selected hospitals by using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The information was gathered using a demographic characteristics and self structured observational checklist to assess skin integrity of genitalia. Result: The study's summary, conclusion, implications for nursing and health care services, and limitations are all included in this chapter. The ideas and proposals for additional research in this area round out this chapter. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of particular nursing care modalities on the skin integrity of the genitalia in newborns with acute gastroenteritis in pediatric wards at particular institutions.
