摘要

背景:手卫生是预防传染病传播的一种简单有效的手段,提倡手卫生是一项重要的公共卫生措施。本研究评估了尼日利亚拉各斯Somolu地方政府区中学生洗手的知识、态度、实践和障碍。方法:本研究采用描述性横断面法,在拉各斯州Somolu LGA选定的中学进行。采用多阶段抽样法,在选定的公立中学中抽取420名受访者。采用自填问卷和预测问卷收集数据。使用IBM SPSS version 22进行分析。进行描述性和双变量分析,显著性水平(P)≤0.05。结果:被调查者的平均±标准差年龄为14.09±2.06岁。少于三分之二(64.0%)的受访者对洗手有良好的认识,几乎所有(99.5%)的受访者对洗手持积极态度,而约71%的受访者对洗手有良好的习惯。健忘(49.8%)和懒惰(33.8%)是在家不洗手的主要原因,其次是学校没有肥皂(50%)和附近供水不足(46.2%)。调查对象的阶层、父母的教育程度和洗手习惯之间存在统计学上显著的关联(P < 0.05)。结论:大多数受访人员对洗手的态度是积极的,但对感染控制的关键环节洗手的知识和做法与他们的态度不一致。我们建议在中学举办有针对性的洗手卫生教育课程,并提供洗手设施。

Perception and practice of handwashing among public secondary school students in Somolu Local Government Area, Lagos, Nigeria - A cross-sectional study
Background: Hand hygiene is a simple and effective means of preventing the spread of communicable diseases, and the promotion of hand hygiene is an important public health measure. This study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practice of and barriers to handwashing among secondary school students in Somolu Local Government Area (LGA), Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional, conducted in selected secondary schools in Somolu LGA, Lagos State. Multistage sampling method was employed to select 420 respondents from the selected public secondary schools. Self-administered and pretested questionnaires were used to collect data. Analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 22. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted with level of significance (P) at ≤0.05. Results: The mean ± standard deviation age of the respondents was 14.09 ± 2.06 years. Less than two-third (64.0%) of the respondents had good knowledge, almost all (99.5%) had positive attitude, while about 71% had good practice of handwashing. Forgetfulness (49.8%) and laziness (33.8%) were the major reasons for not practicing handwashing at home as opposed to unavailability of soap (50%) and lack of nearby water supply (46.2%) in schools. A statistically significant association was found between class of respondents, parent's level of education, and handwashing practices (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Although majority of the respondents had positive attitude toward handwashing, knowledge and practice of handwashing, which is a key to infection control, was not at par with their attitudes. We recommend targeted health education sessions on handwashing and provision of handwashing facilities in secondary schools.
