Matching on child age, gender and socio-demographic status of parents was considered in allocation of the children for grouping. The 20 children in each group were allocated for the 3 interventions (Group-A, Group-B and Group-C). A Quasi-experimental study was conducted among 60 preschoolers aged between 3-5 years in Mandalay, in 2006. The standards are applicable to all facilities that provide health care to children and adolescents.Īuthors:Swe Swe Latt, Nwe Nwe Oo, Than Than Myint, Myo Oo, Htoon Lynn Aung, Hlaing Hlaing Hlaing, Tin Myo Han Abstract: The aim of study was to compare effectiveness of three different health education interventions to obtain proper hand washing (PHW) knowledge (why, when to wash) and practices (how to wash) among selected Myanmar preschoolers. The standards were developed in the best interests of children, in recognition of the fact that their requirements are different from those of adults and to ensure their right to high-quality health care. The goal of this publication is to ensure that the care given to all children, including young adolescents, in health facilities is evidence-based, safe, effective, timely, efficient, equitable and appropriate for their age and stage of development.

They are derived from WHO Guidelines Review Committee approved recommendations, guidelines and international best practices in care of children and young adolescents. In view of the importance of the continuum of both the life-course and service delivery (1), these standards build on the Standards for improving the quality of maternal and newborn care in health facilities (2), during labour, childbirth and the early postnatal period. These standards for the quality of paediatric care in health facilities form part of normative guidance for improving the quality of maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health care. The contributions of these standards are 220 experts in 88 countries who participated in the Delphi study to build consensus on the quality measures and those of the external consultants and others who supported the work at various stages, including Tamara Kaemba, Senait Kebede and Bennett Nemser.
