Advantages and Risks of Using Designated Defecation Spots Sample Clauses

Advantages and Risks of Using Designated Defecation Spots. The concept of the designated defecation spots, as they are referred to in this paper, presents an interesting contradiction of sorts. Mothers often choose a particular spot within the compound where they train their young children to defecate consistently. The advantages of using DDS are that they give control and structure to the practice of open defecation, and certainly are preferable to uninhibited open defecation. In addition, they teach good habits that can help prepare a child for the concept of using a latrine as an exclusive defecation spot. Designated defecation spots can help keep the compound clean by containing the feces to a particular area from which mothers can quickly and easily dispose of them in the latrine. Mothers consider this an advantage because it enhances their sense of pride in a clean household, especially in front of visitors. However, there are also significant disadvantages of using designated defecation spots, although they are not perceived as disadvantages within this context. Even though using a DDS is a structured and controlled practice, it is still a form of open defecation, which means that there is still the risk that fecal contamination could be introduced into the compound. For example, if the mother is not able to dispose of the feces immediately after the child defecates, the excrement can quickly attract flies that can then spread the contamination elsewhere. Also, the fact that hand-washing following feces disposal was only mentioned by one participant in the LTM study suggests that this may not be a frequent practice for mothers within this context. If a mother handles her child’s feces and then prepares food, feeds her children, or performs other household chores without first washing her hands, fecal contamination can spread quickly. Finally, the seemingly acceptable practice of allowing children to defecate outside at night instead of in the latrine means that feces are left on the ground for several hours overnight, allowing for an extended window of time during which the household can become contaminated.
