The findings regarding caregivers' perceptions of the prevention of acute respiratory infections in preschool children can be divided into four themes: 1) the definition of acute respiratory infection in children, 2) the causes of acute respiratory infection, 3) the effects of acute respiratory infection, and 4) the prevention of acute respiratory infection in children.
