Brief Summary

The observational study aims to identify the relationship between maternal awareness about vitamin D for under-five-year-old children and their health status outcomes. The research Question is : Is there a relationship between maternal awareness about vitamin D for under-five years children and their health status outcomes? Mothers of children under five will be interviewed about their knowledge and practices regarding vitamin D and their children's health status. Each child will be observed for the manifestation of vitamin D deficiency and to measure their weight and height.

Conditions

Maternal Care Patterns; Child Nutrition Disorders; Vitamin D Deficiency

Keywords

Vitamin D; Maternal Awareness; under-five children; Health status outcomes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mothers' knowledge about Vitamin D Structured Interview Schedule to identify the mothers' knowledge regarding vitamin D supplementation.

  It includes multiple questions about; the importance of vitamin D, different sources of vitamin D, the appropriate age for starting vitamin D supplementation, frequency of giving vitamin D, the proper dose of vitamin D, the method for exposing children to sun baths the food rich with vitamin D and the source of her knowledge about vitamin D. All items will be scored at one point for known, and zero for unknown or incorrect answers. Mothers' responses for all knowledge items will be summed up and converted into percentages. All items will be scored at one point for known, and zero for unknown or incorrect answers. Mothers' responses for all knowledge items will be summed up and converted into percentages. Mothers' awareness levels will be categorized as follows: * Satisfied awareness level for ≥50% * Unsatisfied awareness level \<50%

  through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Mothers' Performance About Vitamin D Supplementation Structured Interview Schedule to identify the mothers' performance regarding vitamin D supplementation.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year.

• Manifestations of vitamin D deficiency assessment record. Each item will be scored with presence or absence.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year.

• Child's physical growth assessment sheet.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year.

• Previous medical and surgical history sheet.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Interventions

Descriptive group on vitamin D awareness BEHAVIORAL

300 mothers of under-five children will be recruited in the descriptive study to assess their awareness about vitamin D and observe children for their health status outcome. Three tools will be used which are; sociodemographic characteristics of children and their mothers, Mothers' Awareness of Vitamin D Structured Interview Schedule, and Health Status Outcomes of Under- Five Years Children. Permission to conduct the study will be obtained from the administrative authorities of the settings after an explanation of the aim of the study. Each mother will be interviewed individually to obtain characteristics of mothers and their children, as well as knowledge and performance regarding Vitamin D. Each child will be observed for the manifestation of vitamin D deficiency and to measure their weight and height.
