摘要

目的近视是可避免的视力损害原因之一。2010年，世界上27%的人口近视，预计30年后，地球上一半的人将近视。本研究的目的是确定高中生近视的患病率和相关因素。材料与方法采用分层简单随机抽样技术，采用横断面校本研究设计，从哈瓦萨市21所高中抽取349名高中生。该研究于2019年4月24日至5月7日进行。使用结构化问卷、六米Snellen视力表、试验框架、试验装置、视网膜镜和环戊烯酸1%滴眼液收集数据。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）20版计算机软件对数据进行分析。多元逻辑回归中p值<0.05的变量被认为具有统计学意义。结果349名参与者的平均年龄为16.90±1.32岁，有效率为97%。近视的患病率为16.05%（95%可信区间：12.6，20.1）。早期上学（调整后的比值比，AOR=3.14；95%置信区间：1.16，10.06）、父母近视（AOR=8.46；95%置信度：7.11，12.08）、长时间近距离工作（AOR=11.65；95%置信指数：2.11，64.5）、短工作距离，缺乏户外运动（AOR=7.37；95%CI:2.71，20.03）和使用视觉显示器（VDU）（AOR=8.36；95%CI:2.39，29.33）是与近视显著相关的变量。结论和建议研究区近视患病率较高。早期上学、父母近视、长时间近距离工作、工作距离短、缺乏户外体育活动和使用视觉显示器是与近视显著相关的变量。应该制定策略，通过负担得起的光学矫正和适当使用视觉显示设备来预防近视继发的视觉损伤。

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Myopia Among High School Students in Hawassa City, South Ethiopia, 2019

Purpose Myopia is one of the avoidable causes of visual impairment. Twenty-seven percent of the world population were myopic in 2010 and after 30 years it is expected half of the peoples in the planet will become myopic. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with myopia among high school students. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional school-based study design using stratified simple random sampling technique was used to select 349 high school students from 21 high schools in Hawassa city. The study was conducted from April 24 to May 7, 2019. Structured questionnaire, six meter Snellen visual acuity chart, trial frame, trial set, retinoscope and cyclopentolate 1% eye drops were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 computer software. Variables having p-value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered as statistically significant. Results A total of 349 participants having a response rate of 97% were involved with the mean age of 16.90±1.32 years. Prevalence of myopia was 16.05% (95%CI: 12.6, 20.1). Early age of schooling (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=3.14; 95%CI: 1.16, 10.06), parents being myopic (AOR=8.46; 95%CI: 7.11, 12.08), prolonged near work (AOR=11.65; 95%CI: 2.11, 64.5), short working distance (AOR=10.90; 95%CI: 0.57, 20.55), lack of outdoor sport activities (AOR=7.37; 95%CI: 2.71, 20.03) and visual display unit (VDU) usage (AOR=8.36; 95%CI: 2.39, 29.33) were variables significantly associated with myopia. Conclusion and Recommendations The prevalence of myopia was high in the study area. Early age of schooling, parents being myopic, prolonged near work, short working distance, lack of outdoor sport activities, and visual display unit usage were variables significantly associated with myopia. There should be strategies to prevent visual impairments secondary to myopia with affordable optical corrections and appropriate use of visual display units.
