摘要

尿路血吸虫病的长期感染可导致尿路发病率,并增加对公共卫生的威胁。在伊蒂利马地区,缺乏关于由血血吸虫引起的尿路血吸虫病各方面的社区知识、态度和做法(KAP)的信息,这可能使该疾病的传播及其对健康的负面影响长期存在。本研究评估了2021年2月至6月在伊蒂利马地区对血吸虫病相关发病率的知识、态度和做法。采用横断面调查,采用结构化问卷,共657人参与研究。共有575名参与者(87.5%)对血吸虫病有所了解,而82名参与者(12.5%)不了解血吸虫病,这种差异具有统计学意义(x²= 369.938,DF = 1, p < 0.001)。111人(16.9%)对尿路血吸虫病及其相关疾病知情,546人(83.1%)不知情,差异也有统计学意义(c2 = 388.166, DF = 1, p < 0.001)。结果表明,社区居民对尿路血吸虫病及其相关发病的认识有限。这可能是因为了解导致发病率的血链球菌感染阶段需要了解疾病病因学。因此,本研究建议在伊蒂利马地区实施干预措施,传授血吸虫病及其相关发病率的知识。关键词:血吸虫病;尿路发病率;知识、态度和行为

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices on Urinary Schistosomiasis-Related Morbidity among Communities in Itilima District, Tanzania
Long-term infections by urinary schistosomiasis can result in urinary tract morbidities and increase the threats to public health. Information on the community’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on various aspects of urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma haematobium has been lacking in Itilima District, which is likely to perpetuate the transmission of the disease and its negative health consequences. This study assessed knowledge, attitudes and practices on schistosomiasis-related morbidities in Itilima District from February to June 2021. A cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire was used, and a total of 657 participants were involved in the study. A total of 575 participants (87.5%) had awareness on schistosomiasis compared to 82 (12.5%) who were not aware of the disease, and this variation was statistically significant (x² = 369.938, DF = 1, p < 0.001). The relationship between urinary schistosomiasis and its related morbidities was known by 111 (16.9%) respondents, while 546 (83.1%) knew nothing about it, and this variation was also statistically significant (c2 = 388.166, DF = 1, p < 0.001). It can be concluded that knowledge of urinary schistosomiasis and its related morbidities among the communities was limited. This is possibly because knowledge of infection stages of S. haematobium that causes the morbidity requires an understanding of disease etiology. Therefore, this study recommends that interventions to impart knowledge on schistosomiasis and the associated morbidities should be implemented in Itilima District. Keywords:     Schistosomiasis, Urinary tract morbidity, Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices, Itilima District
