摘要
儿童的健康和福祉可以通过获得清洁水、适当的环境卫生和个人卫生习惯来实现。本研究利用多指标类集调查(MICS)数据,调查了水、环境卫生和个人卫生(WASH)对健康结果的影响。使用逻辑回归模型和多层次逻辑回归模型分析了家庭层面和地区层面的儿童健康决定因素。结果表明,供水、卫生设施、卫生习惯和健康结果之间存在着显著的关系。清洁水的获取、卫生设施的增加以及正确的个人卫生与儿童健康有显著的正相关关系。更好地获取清洁水可提高儿童的福祉。父母的教育水平、户主的活力以及地区一级的讲卫生运动指标与儿童健康也有显著关系。对儿童健康和讲卫生运动设施的二元地方莫兰 I 分析显示出正的空间自相关性(0.441)。它还确定了具有显著的高-高和低-低聚类模式的地区。本研究有助于实现可持续发展目标 3 和 6,以制定政策、计划和基于未来的解决方案,促进旁遮普省和其他类似地区儿童的健康和福祉。
Analyzing child health and water, sanitation, hygiene facilities in Punjab, Pakistan: A multilevel and spatial approach
The health and well-being of children can be achieved through access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene practices. The current study investigates the effect of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) on health outcomes using the multiple indicator cluster surveys (MICS) data. The household-level and district-level determinants of child health are analyzed using logistic regression models and multilevel logistic regression models. The results indicate that there are significant relationships between water availability, sanitation facilities, hygiene practices, and health outcomes. Access to clean water, an increase in sanitation facilities, and proper hygiene have a significant positive relationship with child health. Better access to clean water enhances children's well-being. The level of parental education, household head dynamics, and WASH indicators at the district level also have a significant relationship with child health. The bivariate Local Moran's I analysis of child health and WASH facilities shows positive spatial autocorrelation (0.441). It also identifies the districts with significant high–high and low–low clustering patterns. This study contributes to achieving SDGs 3 and 6 to develop policies, programs, and future-based solutions to promote the health and well-being of children in Punjab and other similar areas.
期刊介绍:
There is a growing recognition that major social trends, such as the process of globalization, rapidly changing demography, increasing psycho-social difficulties in individuals and families, growing economic disparities within and between the nations, and international migration, present important challenges for social policies and social work practices in Asia. It also has become evident that social policy strategies and social work methods must be developed and implemented in the context of Asian region''s own histories, cultures, and unique developmental trajectories in order to respond effectively to those emerging challenges. The Asian Social Work and Policy Review seeks to encourage exchanges of original ideas, rigorous analysis of experiences, innovative practice methods founded on local knowledge and skills of problem solving in the areas of social work and social policy between various countries in Asia.
