摘要

背景:尽管广泛分发蚊帐,但通过使用蚊帐预防疟疾在加纳仍然是一项重大的公共卫生挑战。目的:本研究考察了媒介暴露、家庭结构和社会经济条件如何影响加纳不同地区的蚊帐使用模式。研究设计和研究样本:利用2022年9353名15-49岁女性的人口与健康调查数据,本研究采用logistic回归分析和创新的地理空间技术来揭示使用决定因素。分析和结果:调查结果显示,净拥有量(80.6%)和实际使用率(56.4%)之间存在巨大差距,不同人口群体之间存在显著差异。该研究发现,持有健康卡的参与者使用蚊帐的几率比城市居民高51% (AOR = 1.51),而来自农村地区的参与者的使用率比城市居民高。地理空间分析显示,保健设施分布与疟疾负担之间存在令人担忧的不匹配,特别是在北部和上西部地区,这可能阻碍获得蚊帐和教育资源。家庭构成成为关键因素,与伴侣同住和有孩子的参与者的使用率明显更高。有趣的是,虽然传统媒体消费(广播)与网络使用呈正相关,但互联网使用与利用率下降有关。研究还发现,尽管社会经济地位较低的家庭的使用率较高,但教育水平对所有群体的使用率都有积极影响。结论:这些发现有助于理解社会决定因素和卫生保健基础设施在形成预防性卫生行为方面的复杂相互作用,表明在疟疾预防战略中需要考虑地理可及性和社会文化背景的有针对性的干预措施。

Media Usage, Family Dynamics, Socio-Economic Factors and Geospatial Analysis of Mosquito Net Usage in Ghana: Insights From a Nationally Representative Study.

Background: Malaria prevention through mosquito net usage remains a critical public health challenge in Ghana, despite widespread distribution efforts. Purpose: This study examines how media exposure, family structures, and socio-economic conditions influence mosquito net utilization patterns across Ghana's diverse regions. Reseaech design and study sample: Drawing from the 2022 Demographic and Health Survey data of 9353 women aged 15-49, this research employs both logistic regression analysis and innovative geospatial techniques to uncover usage determinants. Analysis and results: Findings reveal a substantial gap between net ownership (80.6%) and actual usage (56.4%), with significant variations across demographic groups. The study identifies that participants with health cards had 51% higher odds of using nets (AOR = 1.51), while those from rural areas showed higher utilization rates compared to urban residents. Geospatial analysis exposed a concerning mismatch between healthcare facility distribution and malaria burden, particularly in Northern and Upper West regions, potentially hampering access to nets and educational resources. Family composition emerged as a key factor, with participants living with partners and those having children demonstrating significantly higher usage rates. Interestingly, while traditional media consumption (radio) positively correlated with net usage, internet use was associated with decreased utilization. The research also found that despite lower socioeconomic status households showing higher usage rates, education levels positively influenced utilization across all groups. Conclusions: These findings contribute to understanding the complex interplay between social determinants and healthcare infrastructure in shaping preventive health behaviors, suggesting the need for targeted interventions that consider both geographical accessibility and socio-cultural contexts in malaria prevention strategies.
