dc.description.abstractAim: Our aim is to determine the association between social factors and acute gastroenteritis occurred during summer, among children aged between 1 and 72 months and provide help to normal growth of children and contribute to taking preventive measures. Material and Method: It is a cross-sectional prospective case control study which was carried out between 2005 and 2006 June to August. 450 children with acute gastroenteritis that admitted to Ministry of Health Ankara Education and Research Hospital were recruited. Control group was constituted with 200 children that did not have acute gastroenteritis in the last one month. A questionnaire was filled out face to face with mothers. The data were analized by SPSS (Statistical Program for Social Sciences), version 12. Results: The mean age was 31.8 +/- 20.9 months in patient group, and 31.4 +/- 21.4 months in control group. Children with acute gastroenteritis had higher rates of incomplete vaccination. Children in patient group (67.3%) had higher rates of living in shanty than controls (45.5%) (p=0.0001). The duration of using vitamin supplementation was lower in the patient group. Conclusion: The rate of acute gastroenteritis increases with the lack of ORS knowledge, incomplete vaccination, inadequate vitamin intake and low socioeconomic status. Washing hands before preparing meal decreases the rate occurance in diarrhea.en_US
