摘要

背景:水和卫生设施对人类健康和福祉至关重要。虽然对这些因素与健康的关系进行了研究,但很少考虑到这些环境风险因素对儿童发育的影响。在这里,我们调查了南非西开普省开普敦市的四个低收入定居点家庭用水获取/储存与儿童早期发展之间的可能关系。我们的目标是1)确定儿童住所的水获取/储存方法;2)评估儿童早期发育;3)了解水获取/储存实践与儿童早期发展之间的关系。方法:我们使用调查问卷评估家庭用水风险因素,并使用国际发展和早期学习评估(IDELA)工具评估儿童早期学习/认知、社会情感和运动发展。结果:192例患儿平均年龄4岁,其中55%为女性。平均IDELA得分为48%(范围:36-54%),得分越高,儿童发育越好。大约70%的家庭在家中有水龙头,一半的家庭表示他们储存水,最大比例的储存容器(21%)是塑料容器或无盖容器。生活在没有室内水龙头的家庭和储存水的家庭的儿童IDELA得分较低。结论:考虑到与气候变化相关的风险以及许多儿童在水和卫生设施方面已经很差的条件,需要进一步研究这些关系,为支持适当的干预措施和确保儿童健康发育提供证据。

Inadequate Access to Potable Water Impacts Early Childhood Development in Low-Income Areas in Cape Town, South Africa.

Background: Water and sanitation are vital to human health and well-being. While these factors have been studied in relation to health, very little has been done to consider such environmental risk factors with child development. Here, we investigated possible relations between household water access/storage and early childhood development in four low-income settlements in the City of Cape Town, Western Cape province of South Africa. Our objectives were 1) to determine water access/storage practices in dwellings of children; 2) to assess early childhood development; and 3) and to understand the relationship between water access/storage practices in relation to early childhood development.

Methods: We used a questionnaire to assess household water risk factors and the International Development and Early Learning Assessment (IDELA) tool to assess child early learning / cognitive, socio-emotional and motor development.

Results: Mean age of the children (N = 192) was 4 years and 55% were female. The mean IDELA score was 48% (range: 36-54%) where the higher the score, the better the child's development. Around 70% of households had a tap inside their dwelling and half said that they stored water with the largest percentage of storage containers (21%) being plastic/no lid. Child IDELA scores were lower for children living in households that did not have an indoor tap and for households who stored water.

Conclusions: Given the risks associated with climate change and the already poor conditions many children face regarding water and sanitation, research is needed to further investigate these relations to provide evidence to support appropriate interventions and ensure healthy child development.
