摘要

背景:性健康是整体福祉的一个重要方面,然而足癣患者往往面临耻辱和排斥,以促进性健康的卫生保健服务。在埃塞俄比亚,特别是在研究地区,足癣患者的性生活质量(SQOL)仍未得到探索。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚南部Wolaita地区足癣患者的生存质量及其相关因素。方法:采用多阶段抽样技术对639例足癣患者进行社区横断面研究。采用sql - f和sql - m问卷(验证工具),通过Kobocollect软件收集数据。采用具有日志链接和伽马方差的广义线性模型(GLM)来检查sql与自变量之间的关联。使用STATA version 14进行数据分析,p值为统计学显著性。结果:本研究共纳入639名受访者。SQOL- f和SQOL- m得分中位数分别为50分和22分,60.5%的女性和84.2%的男性SQOL得分较低。对SQOL-F得分有积极影响的因素包括有受过教育的伴侣、有家庭和政府支持、可获得医疗保健、能够从一个地方迁移到另一个地方、积极的性健康态度和中等收入状况。SQOL-M得分受到在政府或私人工作的伙伴、额外的慢性疾病、较短的疾病持续时间和较差的医疗保健经历的负面影响,而家庭和政府支持可提高SQOL-M得分。结论:足癣病显著降低男性和女性的sql评分。加强家庭和社区支持,改善医疗保健服务,并整合性健康干预措施,对于提高受影响个体的SQOL评分至关重要。

Sexual quality of life and associated factors among podoconiosis patients in Wolaita zone, South Ethiopia.

Sexual quality of life and associated factors among podoconiosis patients in Wolaita zone, South Ethiopia.

Background: Sexual health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet individuals with podoconiosis often face stigma and exclusion from healthcare services which promote sexual health. In Ethiopia, particularly in the study area, the Sexual quality of life (SQOL) of podoconiosis patients remains unexplored. This study aimed to assess the SQOL and associated factors among podoconiosis patients in Wolaita Zone, South Ethiopia.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 639 podoconiosis patients using a multistage sampling technique. SQOL-F and SQOL-M questionnaires (validated tools) were used to collect data via Kobocollect software. Generalized Linear Models (GLM) with a log link and gamma variance were employed to examine associations between SQOL and independent variables. Data analysis was performed using STATA version 14, with statistical significance set at p-value < 0.05.

Results: The total of 639 respondents were included in this study. The median SQOL-F and SQOL-M scores were 50 and 22, respectively, with 60.5% of females and 84.2% of males having low SQOL score. Factors positively influencing SQOL-F score included having an educated partner, having family and government support, healthcare accessibility, ability to move from place to place, positive sexual health attitudes, and middle-income status. SQOL-M scorewas negatively affected by having a partner in government or private work, additional chronic illnesses, shorter disease duration, and poor healthcare experiences, while family and government support improved SQOL-M score.

Conclusions: Podoconiosis significantly lowers SQOL score for both men and women. Strengthening family and community support, improving healthcare access, and integrating sexual health interventions are essential for improving SQOL score among affected individuals.
