Abstract:In order to apply the new and simple methods of management of acute diarrhoeal disease which emphasize oral rehydration and early feeding, mothers need to be taught with simple and clear methods. An evaluation of the teaching methods used at the Diarrhoeal Disease Research and Rehydration Centre, Bab El-Sharreya University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, indicates that with the right approach, mothers retain what physicians and nurses teach and spread the word about rehydration therapy. In this way it is hoped that the mother will become the central figure in the management of dehydration and that the treatment will be mainly transferred to the home where the diarrhoea starts. Ref.
