Insights

Diaper dermatitis affects 36.1% of Thai infants, particularly those aged 1-6 months. Key risk factors include infrequent diaper changes, previous rash episodes, cloth diaper use, and talcum powder application.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Dermatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Diaper dermatitis is a common skin condition in infants.
  • Understanding its prevalence and risk factors is crucial for effective prevention and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of diaper dermatitis in Thai children aged 1-24 months.
  • To identify associated risk factors for diaper dermatitis in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 1153 participants.
  • Data collected via structural questionnaires.
  • Statistical analysis using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of diaper dermatitis was 36.1%, decreasing with age.
  • Highest prevalence observed in infants aged 1-6 months.
  • Significant risk factors identified: infrequent nighttime diaper changes, prior rash history, cloth diaper use, and talcum powder application.

Conclusions:

  • Nighttime diaper changes are critical and cannot be compensated by daytime changes.
  • Talcum powder use significantly increases diaper dermatitis risk.
  • Findings inform preventive strategies for diaper dermatitis in infants.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

Types of Surveys01:27

Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying01:19

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...
