Abstract

This study aimed to assess the level of JMP ladders for WASH services. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Forty-four healthcare facilities were enrolled. From each healthcare facility, water samples were collected directly from water storage facilities. In addition to the interview, an observational checklist was used. Descriptive statistics and a chi-square test were conducted to analyze the data. The coverage of advanced and basic drinking water services in healthcare facilities was 4.6 and 70.4%, respectively. However, the healthcare facilities’ access to advanced and basic sanitation services was nil. Similarly, 61.4 and 88.6% of the healthcare facilities had no hygiene and waste disposal services, respectively. While 2.6, 4.5, and 75% of healthcare facilities had advanced, basic, and limited environmental cleaning services, 18.2% lacked environmental cleaning services. Water samples of 15.9, 11.4, and 6.8% of the healthcare facilities were found positive for total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli, respectively. The WASH services of the healthcare facilities were very low and not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal target. Healthcare facilities could be sources of healthcare-associated infections. Hence, the government and other concerned bodies should take urgent action to improve WASH services.

埃塞俄比亚Bishoftu镇卫生保健设施中水、环境卫生和个人卫生(WASH)服务的JMP阶梯水平:卫生保健相关感染预防状况的含义

本研究旨在评估用于讲卫生服务的JMP阶梯的水平。进行了一项横断面研究。共有44家医疗机构参与。从每个医疗机构直接从储水设施中采集水样。除了访谈之外，还使用了观察检查表。采用描述性统计和卡方检验对数据进行分析。医疗机构高级和基本饮用水服务的覆盖率分别为4.6%和70.4%。然而，医疗机构获得先进和基本卫生服务的机会为零。同样，61.4%和88.6%的医疗机构没有卫生和废物处理服务。2.6%、4.5%和75%的医疗机构提供先进、基本和有限的环境清洁服务，18.2%的医疗机构缺乏环境清洁服务。15.9%、11.4%和6.8%的医疗机构的水样中总大肠菌群、粪便大肠菌群和大肠杆菌分别呈阳性。医疗机构的讲卫生服务水平很低，无法实现可持续发展目标的具体目标。医疗机构可能是医疗相关感染的来源。因此，政府和其他相关机构应采取紧急行动，改善讲卫生服务。
