Abstract

Aims: To describe mothers' knowledge about nutritional care for children under 5 years old with congenital heart disease.


Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 mothers about the knowledge of nutritional care for children under 5 years old with congenital heart disease at Thai Binh Pediatric Hospital in 2022.


Results: Mothers' knowledge of nutritional care for children with congenital heart disease was still very limited, with only 4,9% of mothers having good knowledge. Mothers' knowledge in the fields of nutritional care for children with congenital heart disease, including factors determining nutritional status, nutrition for children, anemia and iron deficiency, and physical activity, the respective proportions were 7,8%; 10,8%; 19,6% and 9,8%.


Conclusion: Mothers' knowledge of nutritional care for children with congenital heart disease was very limited, both in general knowledge and knowledge in 4 areas of child care: factors that determine nutritional status, nutrition for children, iron deficiency anemia, and physical activity.
