Abstract

Background

Malnutrition accounts for 45 percent of children under five years of age in Ethiopia and is a more common problem in rural communities. In this regard, Ethiopia has implemented the Community Based Neutrition (CBN) program at the community level to improve the nutritional status of children. Despite this, malnutrition still causes a significant rate of child morbidity and mortality. The status of the implementation of the CBN program is unknown.

Methods

A single case study design was employed from March 28 to April 28, 2023. A total of 407 systematically selected mothers for exit interviews participated in the study. The data was entered into Epi-Inf version 7 and exported to STATA version 17 for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine the factors associated with the acceptability of mothers. Findings were presented using descriptions, tables, and graphs.

Results

According to the predetermined judgment parameter, the acceptability of CBN services by mothers (66.6 %). Rural residence 0.28 (AOR = 0.28, 95 % CI 0.106, 0.754), merchant 0.11 (AOR = 0.11, 95 % CI 0.036, 0.47), primary 2.5 (AOR = 2.53, 95 % CI 1.09, 5.85), secondary 3.29 (AOR = 3.29, 95 % CI 1.03, 8.43), and higher education 1.46 (AOR = 1.46, 95 % CI 1.09, 4.05) were significantly associated with acceptability.

Conclusions

The general acceptability of the mother to community nutrition services was measured fairly according to the predetermined judgment parameter. Educating mothers is an important factor in increasing service acceptability.

2023 年埃塞俄比亚戈贾姆西部 Degadamot 地区母亲对两岁以下儿童社区营养服务的接受程度和相关因素

背景在埃塞俄比亚，五岁以下儿童中有 45% 营养不良，这一问题在农村社区更为普遍。为此，埃塞俄比亚在社区一级实施了社区营养（CBN）计划，以改善儿童的营养状况。尽管如此，营养不良仍然导致儿童发病率和死亡率居高不下。方法在 2023 年 3 月 28 日至 4 月 28 日期间采用单一案例研究设计。共有 407 名被系统选中进行出口访谈的母亲参与了研究。数据被输入 Epi-Inf 第 7 版，并导出到 STATA 第 17 版进行分析。为确定与母亲接受度相关的因素，进行了多元逻辑回归。结果根据预先确定的判断参数，母亲对 CBN 服务的接受度为 66.6%。农村居民 0.28（AOR = 0.28，95 % CI 0.106，0.754），商人 0.11（AOR = 0.11，95 % CI 0.036，0.47），小学 2.5（AOR = 2.53，95 % CI 1.09，5.85），中学 3.29（AOR = 3.29，95 % CI 1.03，8.43），高等教育 1.46（AOR = 1.结论根据预定的判断参数，母亲对社区营养服务的总体接受度得到了公正的衡量。教育母亲是提高服务可接受性的一个重要因素。
