摘要
背景:艾滋病毒传播的主要原因是未能提供适当的艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息,这是中低收入国家的一个主要公共卫生问题。虽然全球健康覆盖仍在继续,但埃塞俄比亚对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的了解仍然很少,存在数据缺口。因此,本研究旨在调查影响埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔 HIV 检测和咨询(HTC)服务使用者全面了解 HIV/AIDS 知识的因素:方法:2022 年 6 月至 7 月进行了一项基于设施的横断面研究。共纳入约 423 名客户。收集了有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识、态度和行为的数据。使用 Stata 17 进行分析。使用了预先测试过的问卷。使用序数逻辑回归模型,对 P 值为 0.2 及以上的变量进行分析:对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的总体认识、良好态度和行为分别约为 258 人(61%)、220 人(52%)和 210 人(49.5%)。男性(AOR = 1.39,95% CI = 1.28-3.01)、31 至 35 岁(AOR = 2.13,95% CI = 1.88-4.18)和 36 岁以上(AOR = 2.21,95% CI = 1.98-3.44)、小学(AOR = 1.21,95% CI = 1.67-3.20)和高等教育(AOR = 1.19,95% CI = 1.03-3.01)、就业(AOR = 1.33,95% CI = 1.09,3.37)和媒体接触(AOR = 2.02,95% CI = 1.21,3.61)分别是与全面了解艾滋病相关的因素:结论:被调查者对艾滋病病毒/艾滋病的认知、态度和行为水平较低。由于艾滋病仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题,如果有关机构能够有效地利用和设计媒体,鼓励女性入学,就能通过增加她们的知识来更好地防治艾滋病。
Comprehensive Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviors, and Associated Factors of HIV/AIDS in Gondar City Public Health Facilities Among HIV Testing and Counselling Service Users, Northwest Ethiopia, 2022; an Ordinal Logistic Regression Analysis.
Background: The primary cause of HIV transmission is a failure to deliver proper HIV/AIDS information, which is a major public health issue in low- and middle-income nations. While global health coverage continues, there is still little understanding of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, and there is a data gap. As a result, the aim of this study was to investigate the factors that influence comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge among HIV testing and counselling (HTC) service users in Gondar, northwest Ethiopia.
Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July 2022. About 423 clients were included. Data on HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitude, and behavior were collected. Stata 17 was used to analyze. A pre-tested questionnaires were used. Using ordinal logistic regression model, variables having p values of 0.2 and <0.05 were chosen as a candidate variable in binary and final model.
Results: The total knowledge, favorable attitude, and good behaviors of HIV/AIDS were approximately 258 (61%), 220 (52%), and 210 (49.5%), respectively. Being male (AOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.28-3.01), age from 31 to 35 years (AOR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.88-4.18), and above 36 years old (AOR = 2.21, 95% CI = 1.98-3.44), primary (AOR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.67-3.20), and higher education (AOR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.03-3.01), employed (AOR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.09, 3.37), and media exposure (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.21, 3.61) were factors associated with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS, respectively.
Conclusion: The study participants' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding HIV/AIDS were rather low. Since HIV/AIDS is still a major public health issue, if the concerned body uses and designs media effectively, encouraging females to attend school, it will have a better chance of combating HIV/AIDS by increasing their knowledge.
