(Carin) Phophi, Azwimmbavhi Violet UCTD SDG-17: Partnerships for the goals SDG-03: Good health and well-being Dissertation (MCur)--University of Pretoria, 2019. In Vhembe district, diarrhoeal disease and dehydration are the leading causes of death in children under five. The researcher aimed to explore and describe caregiver’s practices of home management of diarrhoeal disease in children under five years in Vhembe district, Thulamele municipal area at the health centre and paediatric ward. Knowledge of the caregiver’s practices of home management of diarrhoeal disease in children under five years, enable the researcher to construct an action plan to address diarrhoeal diseases and contribute to reduction in mortality related to diarrhoea disease and dehydration in children under five years in Vhembe District. The population of the study included any person who was taking care of a child under five years at home. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was used. Three focus group interviews were used to collect data; two focus groups had five participants each while one focus group had eight participants. Data were analysed by using content analysis. It was found that use of remedies, traditional medication and giving of wrongly prepared oral rehydration solution were common practices to the caregivers. em2026 Nursing Science MCur Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-17: Partnerships for the goals 2019-12-13T08:07:24Z 2019-12-13T08:07:24Z 2019/09/06 2019 Dissertation Phophi, AV 2019, Caregiver practices of home care management during diarrhoeal disease in children under five years in Vhembe District Thulamela Municipal area, MCur Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/72667> S2019 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/72667 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
