A chi-square (χ²) test was used to determine a significant association between independent variables and dependent variable. The finding showed that 68.3% of mothers had good behaviors in preventing diarrhea. The factors significantly related to mothers' behaviors included perceived susceptibility to diarrhea, perceived severity of diarrhea, perceived benefits of diarrhea prevention behaviors, and perceived barriers of diarrhea prevention behaviors (p < .01, p < .01, p < .01, and p < .01 respectively).

But effective self-management is often shortlived. Peers can provide the kind of ongoing support that is needed for sustained self-management of diabetes. In this context, peers are nonprofessionals who have diabetes or close familiarity with its management. Key functions of effective peer support include assistance in daily management, social and emotional support, linkage to clinical care, and ongoing availability of support. Using these four functions as a template of peer support, project teams in Cameroon, South Africa, Thailand, and Uganda developed and then evaluated peer support interventions for adults with diabetes. Our initial assessment found improvements in symptom management, diet, blood pressure, body mass index, and blood sugar levels for many of those taking part in the programs. For policy makers, the broader message is that by emphasizing the four key peer support functions, diabetes management programs can be successfully introduced across varied cultural settings and within diverse health systems.

Many factors have been found to relate to self-care behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess factors relating to self-care behavior of pregnant women during pregnancy. This study used cross-sectional survey design and multistage sampling technique. The analysis included 263 pregnant women, whose data was collected during October 2014. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire and analyzed by using mean score, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results showed that most of participants (72.3%) were between 20 and 34 years old (mean = 27.7 year, SD = 6.37 year). The majority of the participants (89.7%) had at least junior high school education. Out of this number, 20% had diploma and university degree. The mean of gestational age of this group was 5.5 months with SD 2.2 month and the average number of ANC visit was 4.1 times with SD 2.5 times. Most participants had an income less than 1.5 million rupiah (65.4%). The average income per month was IDR 1,185,897 rupiah (SD = IDR 857,529). Positive correlations were found between knowledge of self-care, perceived benefits of self-care, self-efficacy in self-care and self-care behaviors during pregnancy (r = .130, p<0.05; r = .271, p<0.01; r = .438, p<0.01, respectively). This study suggested that primary healthcare professional should focus on promoting knowledge, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy to increase pregnant women’s self-care behaviors during pregnancy.
