A knowledge, attitude and practice study in relation to the literacy status of mothers whose children suffered from ARI was con ducted. A sample of 140 mothers who had 265 children were selected for the study. The majority of literate mothers (75%) had complete knowledge regarding management of ARI. Literacy alone was not the only factor responsible for developing a positive attitude and adopting correct practices during ARI. Mass media and health personnel played an equally important role. Most women (89.3%) had obtained their knowledge regarding ARI through media and paramedical staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Most mothers (96.4%) were concerned about the health of their children when they suf fered from episodes of ARI and the majority of them (87.2%) were worried because they felt that their children or contacts could be adversely affected. Nearly 72% of mothers took early action during an episode of ARI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The majority of the medical practitioners practised non-allopathic medicine but all of them were prescribing allopathic drugs. Most of the mothers (70%) had no problem in taking their children to the desired health centres when needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/146642409511500511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T13:36:39Z","timestamp":1190122599000},"page":"314-317","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mothers' attitudes to children's chest infections in India"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"A.Z.","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh 202002"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Tickoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Arif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Zaheer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,10,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"atypb1","first-page":"77","volume":"65","author":"Datta N.","year":"1987","journal-title":"Bull WHO"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(86)90241-5"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Acute Respiratory Infections in Children in India","author":"Ministry Of Health And Family Welfare","year":"1990"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02724936.1989.11748603"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/101053958900300308"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Acute respiratory infection in children: case management in small hospitals in developing countries","author":"Who\/Ari\/90.5","year":"1990"}],"container-title":["Journal of the Royal Society of Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/146642409511500511","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/146642409511500511","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T04:58:35Z","timestamp":1777697915000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/146642409511500511"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1995,10]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1995,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/146642409511500511"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/146642409511500511","relation":{},"ISSN":["0264-0325"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0264-0325","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1995,10]]}}}
