摘要
减少儿童营养不良是与改善儿童福利有关的另一项可持续发展目标。根据NFHS-3(国家家庭健康调查)(2005- 2006年)提供的关于体重不足的国家数据显示,体重不足的流行率约为40%。这项横断面研究于2022年12月在Sapele中心医院对5岁以下儿童进行。使用了世卫组织儿童人体测量和营养状况分类指南。共有52名儿童参与了这项研究。约80.8%的研究参与者在考虑人体测量失败综合指数(Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure)作为营养状况时,未显示肌肉萎缩。近71.2%的参与者营养良好。综合人体测量指数确定了在萨佩莱中心医院接受疫苗接种的营养良好儿童的流行率或百分比。因此,护士们要鼓励那些孩子在边界内、低于正常水平的母亲们,通过健康讲座、食品示范和宣传项目,确保她们的孩子吃得好。
Nutritional Assessments of Children Under Five Based on Anthropometric Measurements in Sapele Central Hospital, Delta
Child malnutrition Reduction is another SDG related to an improvement in child welfare. National data on underweight provided under NFHS-3 (National Family Health Survey) (2005-06) revealed an underweight prevalence rate of around 40%. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Central Hospital Sapele during the month of December 2022 among children under five years of age. WHO guidelines for anthropometric measurement and nutritional status categorisation among children were used. A total of 52 children participated in the study. About 80.8% of study participants were found not to show muscle wasting as their nutritional status while taking the Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure for nutritional status into consideration. Nearly 71.2% of the participants were well nourished. The composite anthropometric index determines the prevalence or percentage of well-nourished children who receive vaccinations at Central Hospital Sapele. So, nurses are to encourage mothers whose children are within the border lines and below normal to top up their games to ensure that their children are well-fed through health talks, food demonstrations, and awareness programs.
