摘要：

Introduction: Constipation is an important pediatric health issue, most childhood constipation (CC) cases are due to functional constipation (FC), rather than being caused by organic causes, occurring as a result of intentional stool with hold. Methodology: This is a prospective, cross-sectional, community-based study that was carried out to assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of parents towards childhood constipation. Results: It was found that only 3.5% had 'good' knowledge, whereas the majority of the parents (80.5%) had 'poor' knowledge regarding childhood constipation, while only 35.9% (n=204) of the parents had shown good practices related to (CC) with statistically significant association seen with age, educational level, and employment status. Conclusion: Parents ' level of knowledge and practices towards CC is poor and there is a considerable need to disseminate accessible and reliable information to parents or caretakers for supporting and effectively managing their children's health.
