Abstract

Objective

The study assessed the perceived risk factors and prevention practices of HBV infection among pregnant women in Nigerian hospitals.

Study Design

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 343 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at two purposefully selected primary health care centers in Ile-Ife. Women were included in the study using systematic sampling. A structured researcher-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive and inferential (Chi-square test and Logistic regression) statistical analysis were carried out.

Results

More than half (53%) of the respondents had a low perceived risk for hepatitis. Majority (73.5%) had been screened for HBV during the index pregnancy but only 30% received complete doses of HBV vaccine. Respondents who underwent HBV screening during pregnancy (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 0.94 – 4.5), who had completed Hepatitis B vaccination had reduced odds ratios for perceiving risk factors for Hepatitis B Viral Infection (OR = 0.224, 95% CI = 0.94 – 4.5).

Conclusion

Pregnant women had a low-risk perception of HBV infection. The low level of risk perception can serve as a basis for developing preventive interventions aimed at educating and empowering expectant mothers in order to prevent HBV infection and its transmission to their children.

尼日利亚医院孕妇乙型肝炎病毒感染的感知危险因素和预防措施:一项横断面研究

目的本研究评估了尼日利亚医院孕妇HBV感染的感知危险因素和预防措施。研究设计一项描述性横断面研究对343名孕妇进行，这些孕妇在Ile Ife的两个专门选择的初级卫生保健中心参加产前诊所。采用系统抽样的方法将妇女纳入研究。采用结构化的研究者管理问卷进行数据收集。进行描述性和推断性（卡方检验和Logistic回归）统计分析。结果超过一半（53%）的受访者认为肝炎大多数人（73.5%）在指数妊娠期间进行了HBV筛查，但只有30%的人接种了完整剂量的HBV疫苗。妊娠期接受HBV筛查（OR=2.06，95%CI=0.94-4.5）、完成乙型肝炎疫苗接种的受试者对乙型肝炎病毒感染危险因素的感知优势比降低（OR=0.224，95%CI=0.74-4.5）。结论孕妇对HBV感染的感知较低。低水平的风险认知可以作为制定预防干预措施的基础，旨在教育和增强孕妇的能力，以防止HBV感染及其传播给子女。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
