摘要

背景:不能充分利用水、环境卫生和个人卫生设施是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,与若干相关疾病有关,特别是在尼日利亚等发展中国家。必须了解这些设施的可用性,为政策设计和实施提供基线数据。这项研究评估了使用WASH设施的情况。它还审查了尼日利亚奥约州Ogbomoso北部地方政府地区家庭中与大肠菌群污染有关的因素。方法:采用横断面设计,采用两阶段整群抽样方法,在100户家庭中抽取符合条件的调查对象。采用访谈者-管理者半结构化问卷收集数据。采用卡方检验和二元logistic回归进行推理统计。结果:调查对象平均年龄为40.5±16.7岁,露天排便的家庭占81.0%,有厕所设施的家庭使用坑式厕所的占78.9%。最常见的水源为钻孔(71.6%);68.0%的研究参与者可在步行5分钟内到达住所。63%的家庭饮用水大肠菌群数量很高。饮水大肠菌群数量高受是否有厕所设施(or =4.61, CI=1.22 ~ 1.68)、厕所类型(or =2.63, CI=3.22 ~ 5.34)和水源(or =0.12, CI=0.47 ~ 0.68)的影响。结论:在研究环境中,尽管是一个城市社区,但获得优质水和基本卫生设施的情况并不理想。作者们提倡政府在确保尼日利亚社区公平获得WASH设施方面作出更积极和有意的努力。这是为了加快国家实现可持续发展目标(SDG)-6的进程。

Biologic quality of households' drinking-water in an urban local government area of Oyo State, Southwest, Nigeria
Background: Inadequate access to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities is a global public health issue with several associated  illnesses, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. It is imperative to understand the availabilities of these facilities, to provide  baseline data for policy design and implementation. This study assessed access to WASH facilities. It also examined the factors associated with drinking-water contamination by coliform organisms in households within Ogbomoso North Local Government Area, Oyo-State, Nigeria. Methods: Cross-sectional design was employed and a two-stage cluster-sampling method was used to recruit eligible respondents from  100 households. Interviewer-administer, semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Chi-square test and binary logistic  regression were used for inferential statistics. Results: Mean age of respondents was 40.5±16.7years, 81.0% of the households practiced  open defecation, and 78.9% of those with toilet facilities used pit latrines. The most common water source was borehole (71.6%); available  within 5 minutes walking distance to residence of 68.0% of study participants. Sixty-three percent of the households had high  drinking water coliform counts. High drinking-water coliform counts were influenced by the presence or absence of toilets facilities  (OR=4.61, CI=1.22-1.68), types of toilets (OR=2.63, CI=3.22-5.34), and water sources (OR=0.12, CI=0.47-0.68). Conclusion: Access to good  quality water and basic sanitation facilities is sub-optimal in the study setting despite being an urban community. Authors advocate for  more vibrant and intentional government efforts at ensuring equitable access to WASH facilities in the Nigerian communities. This is to  fast-track the nation's journey towards the actualization of the sustainable development goal (SDG)-6.
