摘要
背景:补充叶酸铁是预防孕妇缺铁性贫血的一种重要而经济的方法。世界卫生组织的目标是达到70%,而埃塞俄比亚2030年国家营养计划ii的目标是到2023年,50%的孕妇服用叶酸铁90天。尽管采取了各种行动,埃塞俄比亚的遵守情况仍然很低。本研究调查了埃塞俄比亚南部孕妇对叶酸铁补充剂的依从性及其影响因素。方法:对2022年4月1日至30日系统选取的604名孕妇进行多中心横断面研究,采用结构化访谈式问卷。采用open Data kit应用程序采集数据,用SPSS 25版软件进行分析。双变量和多变量分析用于确定与依从性相关的因素。采用95%置信区间的优势比来评估这种关联的方向和强度。结果:叶酸铁补充依从性为47.7% [95% CI 43.71%, 51.68%]。城市居民[AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.70, 4.86],小学教育程度[AOR: 2.0, 95% CI 1.13, 3.75],中学及以上学历[AOR: 5.3, 95% CI 2.83, 10.22],多产[AOR: 1.9, 95% CI 1.05, 3.52],接受家访[AOR: 2.0, 95% CI 1.08, 3.83],接受叶酸铁咨询[AOR: 2.5, 95% CI 1.30, 4.78],对叶酸铁有良好的认识[AOR: 3.1, 95% CI 2.04, 4.72],对贫血有良好的认识[AOR: 3.1, 95% CI 2.04, 4.72]。3.2, 95% CI 2.12, 4.88]与依从性显著相关。结论:埃塞俄比亚南部孕妇补充叶酸铁的情况正在朝着2030年国家营养方案目标迈进,尽管仍低于世界卫生组织的建议。因此,加强家访和咨询,提高叶酸铁与贫血的知识,确保叶酸铁的持续摄入至关重要。
Compliance with iron-folate supplementation among pregnant women in Southern Ethiopia: a multi-center cross-sectional study.
Background: Iron-folate supplementation is a vital and economical approach to preventing iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women. The World Health Organization targets 70% compliance, while Ethiopia's 2030 National Nutrition Program-II aims for 50% of pregnant women receiving iron-folate for 90 days by 2023. Despite various initiatives, compliance in Ethiopia continues to be low. This study examined compliance with iron-folate supplementation and its influencing factors among pregnant women in Southern Ethiopia.
Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among 604 systematically selected pregnant women from April 1 to 30, 2022, using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data were collected via the open data kit application and analyzed in the SPSS version 25 software. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were used to identify factors associated with compliance. An odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the direction and strength of the association.
Results: Iron-folate supplementation compliance was 47.7% [95% CI 43.71%, 51.68%]. Being an urban dweller [AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.70, 4.86], attending primary education [AOR: 2.0, 95% CI 1.13, 3.75], having secondary education or more [AOR: 5.3, 95% CI 2.83, 10.22], being multiparous [AOR: 1.9, 95% CI 1.05, 3.52], receiving home visits [AOR: 2.0, 95% CI 1.08, 3.83], receiving counseling on iron-folate [AOR: 2.5, 95% CI 1.30, 4.78], possessing good knowledge of iron-folate [AOR: 3.1, 95% CI 2.04, 4.72], and having a good understanding of anemia [AOR: 3.2, 95% CI 2.12, 4.88] were significantly associated with compliance.
Conclusion: Iron-folate supplementation compliance among pregnant women in Southern Ethiopia is progressing towards the 2030 national nutrition program target, although it remains below World Health Organization recommendations. Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen home visits and counseling to enhance knowledge of Iron-folate and anemia, as well as ensure consistent intake of iron-folate.
期刊介绍:
Reproductive Health focuses on all aspects of human reproduction. The journal includes sections dedicated to adolescent health, female fertility and midwifery and all content is open access.
Reproductive health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system, at all stages of life. Good reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Men and women should be informed about and have access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice, and the right to appropriate health-care services that enable women to safely go through pregnancy and childbirth.
