Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA guideline. Covidence software was used for screening, study selection and data extraction. The quality of the selected studies was assessed using an adapted version of Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scale. Random effect models were used to perform the meta-analyses and the heterogeneity among the studies was assessed by i2 statistics. Results Nineteen studies were selected for this review. The four most frequent consequences were: potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) (n = 6, 31.6%), hospitalisation (n = 4, 21%), adverse drug reaction (ADR) (n = 3, 15.8%), and mortality (n = 3, 15.8%), all of which were signi...

However, the role of parental education on optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in Bangladesh is inconclusive. The objective of this review is to summarize how parental education is associated with IYCF practices in Bangladesh. Method This review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar. Record searching, study selection and data extraction was performed using Endnote online and Covidence software, respectively. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment of the included studies. Results Out of 414 initial hits, 34 studies were included for this review. Of the included studies, 32 were cross-sectional, one was a randomized controlled trial, and one was a retrospective cohort. Most of the studies (n=24) were nationally representative whereas 10 studies had populations from district and sub-district level. Included studies considered different IYCF related indicators, including breastfeeding (n=22), complementary feeding (n=8), both breastfeeding and complementary feeding (n=2), both breastfeeding and bottle feeding (n=1), and pre-lacteal feeding (n=1). Parental education was found positively associated with complementary feeding practices. However, the role of parental education on breastfeeding, in general, was ambiguous. High parental education was associated with bottle-feeding practices and no initiation of colostrum. Conclusion Public health interventions need to focus not only on non-and/or low educated parents regarding complementary feeding but also on educated mothers on initiation of colostrum and proper breastfeeding practices.

Parental education is a primary determinant of child health and development. However, some evidence showed inverse associations between high parental education and recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) in Bangladesh. How the association of parental education differs with specific IYCF components has not been reviewed. Therefore, the role of parental education on optimal IYCF practices in Bangladesh appears to be inconclusive.

A questionnaire was completed by 680 representatives from 128 Union Parishads, the rural local governance, of Bangladesh (347 females, 333 males). The mean age was 42.6 years (SD = 6.4) for females and 43.9 (SD = 6.2) for males. A questionnaire was constructed for measuring political participation, experiences of females and observations by males regarding cultural hurdles and family restrictions on female political participation. The amount of both cultural hurdles and family restrictions experienced by female representatives were significantly higher than the amounts their male colleagues had observed. Women with low levels of political participation had experienced high levels of cultural hurdles and low levels of family restrictions. Women with high levels of political participation experienced low levels ...

The questionnaire included four scales. Females scored significantly lower than males on the scales of having influence on political decisions, active political participation and initiatives, and political commissions of trust; and significantly higher on victimisation from faulty meeting procedures. Influence on political decisions varied according to age group for females but not for males. Of the males, 94.7% participated in meetings regularly compared to only 30.1% of the females. Of the females, 16.9 % reported they were not informed about the time of the meetings, while this was the case for only 3.7% of the males. None of the committees used voting at the monthly meetings. Of the males, 94.9% reported that meeting decisions were taken through mutual understanding, while only 15.3% of ...

A questionnaire was completed by 821 representatives (412 women, 409 men). The mean age was 42.5 years ( SD = 6.5) for women and 44.2 ( SD = 6.3) for men. The results showed that women were significantly more victimised from verbal, nonverbal, and rational appearing aggression, social isolation, and indirect social manipulation than men. For women, the most common type of victimisation was rational appearing aggression, followed by social isolation, and verbal aggression. For men, the most common type of victimisation was from verbal aggression, all the other types of victimisation appeared rarely. Representatives with low political participation scored significantly higher than those with high participation on all six types of harassment.Fiv...
