Abstract

Introduction: Geohelmenthes infections cause serious public health problem in Ethiopia. They were more prevalent among population with low income, poor personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, overcrowding and limited access to clean water. Objective: The Study Was aimed to estimating the prevalence of geohelmenthes infection and its predisposing factors among treatments seeking patients at Jimma health centers. Methods and Materials: Cross sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of geohelmenthes infection and predisposing factors among treatments seeking patients from June to August 2018 at Jimma health centers Data collected analyzed by SPSS statistical software was used to analysis data. Association between variables was analyzed using uni-variation and multi-variation logistic regression and p-values. The result was presented with odd ratio. P-value
埃塞俄比亚西南部吉马区吉马镇卫生院求诊患者地虫感染流行及其易感因素
前言:地helmenths感染在埃塞俄比亚造成严重的公共卫生问题。这些疾病在收入低、个人卫生和环境卫生差、过度拥挤和获得清洁水的机会有限的人口中更为普遍。目的:了解吉马市卫生院就诊患者地helmenth感染的流行情况及其易感因素。方法与材料:采用横断面研究方法,对2018年6 - 8月在吉马卫生院就诊的患者进行地helmenses感染流行情况及易感因素分析。采用单变量和多变量logistic回归及p值分析变量间的相关性。结果用奇比表示。p值<或=0.05为可接受水平显著性。结果:从调查对象的居住地区来看,城市居民的地针感染率是农村居民的2.290倍。钉螺感染的高贡献率是钉螺无脏物者的63.256倍。在未清洗或未煮熟蔬菜或水果的饮食习惯方面,使用未清洗或未煮熟蔬菜或水果的钉螺感染的高贡献率是未清洗或未煮熟蔬菜或水果者的79.16倍。总流行率21.8%,其中蚓蛔虫55只(14.3%)、毛蛔虫16只(4.2%)、钩虫10只(2.6%)、圆线虫3只(0.8%)。结论与建议:本研究中地虫病感染率为21.8%。地虫感染与饭前和便后不洗手、食用未煮熟或未洗的蔬菜和水果、修剪指甲、居住地和穿鞋习惯等相关因素的差异均有统计学意义。因此,卫生基础设施的卫生教育和发展可以实现长期和可持续地减少寄生虫的流行。
