Abstract

During the past decades, remnants of wars and factories which impact on human health and the environment. According to WHO, more than three million children under five die each year from environment-related causes and conditions. The aims of this study was identified the most important health problem which infant suffer from as a results of environment pollution and assess of mother knowledge about mode of disease transmission. The study was carried out three hospitals (Al-monsour teaching hospital, Al-kadmia teaching hospital, and in Ibn El –baladi) in Baghdad city in order to collect the study sample. A purposive sample of (100) infants lying in Baghdad hospitals suffering from health problem. The data was collected during the period of 7th March to 30th April 2016. A draft of the questionnaire was presented to 8 experts in order to review and evaluated its contents. The questionnaires was adopted and developed from the (WHO) scales by the research to measure these variables. The statistical procedure which were applied for the data analysis and assessment of the result by descriptive statistics (frequency F, percentage %, mean of score and relative sufficiency). Majority of sample was (34%) in the age groups 3-4 months, followed by (24%) in the age 1-2 months. As for infected infants, the majority of male cases (54%) was greater than female cases (46%). (38%) was intermediate schools and (26%) was secondary schools. (54%) had under medium nutrition during pregnancy, followed by medium (26%). (40%) was fed by using the artificial feeding. The higher percentage of infant’s health problems is problems of respiratory system (acute bronchitis, asthma pneumonia) and food poisoning and also measles, Germen measles, viral hepatitis, meningitis and chicken pox. Infant’s health problems increase due to dependence upon artificial feeding. Providing health education for all society, taking care of accommodation, giving up smoking inside rooms, good ventilation and getting rid of animals. Taking care of infant nutrition and cleaning. Taking care of mother nutrition during pregnancy and urgent contacting of health centers. Conducting similar study on a bigger sample.
