摘要

背景:妊娠期尿路感染(uti)是全球最主要的传染病之一,可导致胎儿和孕产妇死亡。缺乏认识和不良的预防措施会加剧这一结果。本研究评估了产前母亲对妊娠期尿路感染的知识和预防措施。设计:这是一项横断面描述性调查,涉及埃基蒂州选定卫生保健机构的产前母亲。方法:采用预试适应性问卷进行资料收集。结果:调查对象的平均年龄为24.6±2.1岁,多孕者占43.8%。研究结果显示,64.0%的受访者对尿路感染有良好的了解。总体而言,大多数(78.9%)应答者在怀孕期间对尿路感染表现出良好的预防措施,尽管在研究对象中发现尿路感染的患病率很高(54.1%),近一半(48.7%)的应答者报告在当前怀孕期间接受过一次尿路感染检测。此外,受教育程度与被调查者对妊娠期尿路感染预防知识的知晓程度有统计学意义(p = 0.00;p结论:受访者对尿路感染有良好的知识和良好的预防措施。然而,调查对象中报告的尿路感染的高流行率证明有必要在产前母亲中实施知识增强规划、常规检测和及时治疗尿路感染。

Knowledge, attitude and practice of antenatal mothers toward urinary tract infection in selected health facilities in Ekiti state, Nigeria.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of antenatal mothers toward urinary tract infection in selected health facilities in Ekiti state, Nigeria.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of antenatal mothers toward urinary tract infection in selected health facilities in Ekiti state, Nigeria.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of antenatal mothers toward urinary tract infection in selected health facilities in Ekiti state, Nigeria.

Background: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) during gravidity are among the most preponderant contagion globally and can culminate in fetal and maternal mortality. Lack of awareness and poor preventive practices can exacerbate this outcome. This study assessed the knowledge and preventive practices of antenatal mothers' towards UTIs in pregnancy.

Design: This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey involving antenatal mothers in selected health care facilities in Ekiti State.

Methods: A pre-tested adapted questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square at p < 0.05.

Results: The mean respondents' age was 24.6 ± 2.1 years and barely less than half (43.8%) were multigravida. The findings of the study revealed that 64.0% of the respondents had good knowledge of UTIs. Overall, majority (78.9%) of the respondents exhibit good preventive practices toward UTIs in pregnancy, although the prevalence of UTIs among the studied subjects was found to be high (54.1%), with nearly half (48.7%) of the respondents reported been tested once for UTIs in the current pregnancy. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant relationship between educational level and respondents' knowledge on the prevention of UTIs in pregnancy (p = 0.00; p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Respondents had good knowledge and good preventive practices toward UTIs. However, the high prevalence of UTIs reported among respondents justifies the need for implementation of knowledge enhancement program, routine testing and prompt treatment of UTIs among antenatal mothers.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
