The purpose of this study was to find out the motives, standard of starting period, starting period, duration, of training period, methods, tools used, and mothers attitude en daytime toilet training for infant and toddler.
367 mothers were asked to fill the questionnaire, who resided at three different kinds of apartments in Tae-gu, 319 of them had finished their children´s (under 6years aid) toilet training and 48 hadn´t.
Data were analyzed by Chi-square Test and Percentage. The results were as follows:
1. Many of the observed (61.9%) were from 30 to 40 years old, and all of the mothers but 4.9% were housewives with middle level of education and from middle class family background.
2. 52.4% of the mothers carried out their children´s toilet training by herself, but mothers who had jabs did with grand mothers.
3. Mothers maintained their most important motives for training for cleanliness (35.2%), good personal habits (27.1%), and proper time to start (20.5%).
4. 55.8% of mothers began training without the consideration of their children´s growth and development.
5. In many cases (57.7%), bowel and bladder training was begun at the same time.
6. The most common period of starting the training for bladder was from 0.5~1 year (44.8%), bowel from 1~1. 5 year (45.1%). And there was tendency for boy to start bladder training earlier than girls.
7. In 43. 6% of the bladder and 56.4% of the bowel control, duration of the both bowel and bladder training period was 0.5~1 year, and there was no significant differences in duration of the bowel and bladder training between the group of children starting training earlier and group starting later (p>O.05). 8. In cases of mothers who had been very concerned about growth and development of their children, the duration of training was shorter than the mothers who had not been (bladder training p<0.01, bowel training p<0.05). 9. In the case of bladder control, 55, 5% of mothers trained with regular intervals whereas in the case of bowel control, 53.9% of mothers trained their children with signals of children´s facial expression or body motion. 10. Tools used most frequently were piss pot, bed pot, and can, etc.
11. When children fail to control bowel and/or bladder well, more than half of the mothers are far from understanding children (65.2%). And mothers who had not yet started toilet training are more generous or perceptive toward them than the mothers who had finished their children´s toilet training (p<0.01).
12. The higher the mother´s educational background were, the more were they generous and perceptive toward their children who had failed the bowel and/or bladder control (p<0.05).
