The Effect Of Communicable Diseases Among Children

The Effect Of Communicable Diseases Among Children

Abstract

This design work was designed to find out the effect of transmissible conditions among children in Benin City poor. transmissible conditions are veritably common among poor occupant. transmissible conditions could be communicated and have goods in primary academy pupils, which may include disfigurement and poor academic performance. Immunization can be used to control the spread of transmissible conditions among academy pupils. One hundred repliers were used as sample study. Research questions were formulated to dissect the results. Results showed that lack of maternal care, lack of health education and overcrowding of pupils in class lead to spread of transmissible conditions. Recommendations made included that every existent should be completely educated about transmissible conditions and that acceptable and proper hygiene should be encouraged.

1. Background Of The Study

transmissible conditions are as old as man and they constitute a great imminence to mortal beings in every part of the world. They’re one of the topmost problems facing children moment. The conditions are silent killers unlike accident that kills incontinently. Man has been trying to get relieve of these conditions, for times but sweats made have proved incompletely unproductive. Specifically,pre-school children( 0- 5 times old) are prone to transmissible conditions because of their close commerce with one another, theirnon-discriminatory behaviours and also their low impunity power. A complaint that’s transmitted through direct contact with an infected existent or laterally through a vector. Also called contagious complaint.

Transmissible Complaint Description

transmissible complaint is frequently called contagious or contagious complaint. Anderson( 2000) defined a transmissible complaint as a complaint that can be transmitted from one person to another or from lower beast to advanced beast( man). He attributed the cause of these conditions to pathogenic microorganisms. Brain( 2007) also noted that transmissible complaint are contagious conditions that can be passed from person to another or from an beast to a person.

It’s generally believed that nature harbours numerous microorganism which are veritably delicate to see with bare naked eyes except with the use of largely important bitsy lens. Those microorganisms which harm the mortal body are called pathogens. Udoh, Fawole, Ajala, Okafo & Nwana( 2007) verified that pathogens that harm the body are popularly known as origins. These foray the apkins of the mortal host where they produce the condition called complaint. These origins pathogens( that is contagion, bacteria, protozoan and metazoan) are substantially set up in dirty places where the temperature and atmosphere support their actuality.

Olaoye( 2008) classified transmissible conditions into four videlicet water borne complaint, air borne conditions, nonentity borne and other conditions that are transmitted by connections and arthropods. Brain( 2007) stated that the stylish way of classifying transmissible conditions is by their spread, and these are; air borne or drop infections; faecal borne or gastro- intestina infections; transmission from beast, from insects and by connections. Barbara and Bauirer( 2007) linked three ways of transmitting transmissible conditions as; transmission by contact, by vector and by air.

1. Statement Of The Problem

Home terrain contribute to transmissible conditions among academy children. In the Africa culture the value of education is largely perfect, be itformal.However, the home or terrain contribute a lot to the aseptic system of the child both of home and in academy, If one take the formal education as a case study. As this could help some transmissible complaint that could have affected the pupils because the sound foundation for unborn forestallment of transmissible conditions start from home. lack of care at home, some time beget unhealthy contest among pupils as it has a negative effect on the health of the child both of home academy and its terrain.

1. Purpose Of The Study

The purpose of this study is to find out the cause and goods of transmissible conditions among children in Benin City. specifically, the study sought to

1. Determine the causes of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City.

2. Ascertain the effect of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City.

3. Determine ways to address the issues of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City.

4. Determine effect of poverty of parents to the spread of transmissible conditions among children.

1. Exploration Questions

The experimenter in trying to substantiate the result of his study subtracted the following exploration questions which are

1. Does lack of maternal care lead to spread of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City?

2. Does lack of health education lead to spread of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City?

3. Can overcrowding of pupils in classrooms lead to the prevalence of transmissible complaint among children in Benin City?

4. Does poverty of parents lead to spread of transmissible conditions among children?

1. Significance Of The Study

In carrying out the study, the experimenter hoped that it would be of great benefit to the public in general and to the educational system in particular. It would help educate parents on how to handle their terrain and the health of their children. This study will help academy operation in precluding the spread of transmissible complaint in academy and how to help children suffering from similar problems. also it’s hoped that it would help preceptors to know how to handle similar children when they witness difficulties.

1. Compass Of The Study/ Delimitation Of The Study

This study is confined to pupils from Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State Benin City. it’s also limited to some six primary seminaries within the study area. The experimenter limited her study to primary seminaries in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State.

thus, only primary six from six primary academy located in civic and pastoral areas of the original government were used for the study. They’re as follows

1. Abiokula Primary School, Abudu

2. Adanko Primary School, Evbiboesi

3. Adenko Primary School, Ugo

4. Okogbo Primary School, Okogbo

5. Awannore Primary School, Evboesi

6. Obozogbe Primary School, Obozogbe

1. Description Of Terms

Bacteria Constitute a large sphere of prokaryotic microorganisms. generally a many micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from sphere to rods and gyrations. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on earth, and are present in utmost of its territories. Bacterial inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep portions of earth’s crust. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationship with shops and creatures. They’re also known to have flourished in manned spacecraft.

transmissible( of a complaint) suitable to be transmitted from one inpatient to another contagious or contagious.

Disease A complaint of structure or function in a mortal, beast, or factory, especially one that produces specific symptoms or that affects a specific position and isn’t simply a direct result of physical injury. A complaint is a particular abnormal, pathological condition that affects part or all of an organism. It’s frequently demonstrated as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by factors firstly from an external source, similar as contagious complaint, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, similar as autoimmune conditions. In humans, “ complaint ” is frequently used more astronomically to relate to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, torture, social problems, or death to the person tormented, or analogous problems for t sock in contact with the person.

Aboriginal in epidemiology, an infections is said to be aboriginal in a population when that infection is maintained in the population without the need for external inputs. For illustration, chickenpox is aboriginal( steady state) in the UK, but malaria is not. Every time, there are a many cases of malaria acquired in the UK, but these don’t lead to sustained transmission in the population due to the lack of a suitable vector.

Hazard A hazard is a situation that poses a position of trouble to life, health, property, or terrain. utmost hazards are dormant or implicit, with only a theoretical threat of detriment, still, once a hazard becomes “ active ”, it can produce an exigency situation. A dangerous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to produce threat.

Sporadic Appearing or passing at irregular intervals in time, occasional, sporadic renewals of rages. Appearing in scattered or insulated cases, as a complaint, insulated as a single case of commodity, being or being piecemeal from others being independently or extensively piecemeal in position; the sporadic growth of shops.
