Abstract:
Many adolescent girls in Ethiopia and elsewhere missed school during their monthly cycles due to a lack of affordable menstrual absorbent materials or money to buy sanitary pads. So far, few studies have looked into the relationship between earning pocket money and maintaining good menstrual hygiene. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the best available evidence regarding the association between earning pocket money and menstrual hygiene management among adolescents in Ethiopia.
We systematically searched PubMed, Hinari, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, POPLINE, African Journal Online, Direct of Open Access Journals, and Google Scholar for studies examining the association between earning pocket money and menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls in Ethiopia, without restriction in a publication year. The Joanna Briggs Institute quality assessment tool for the cross-sectional studies was used to assess the quality of included studies. A prefabricated checklist, including variables: first author, publication year, sample size, type of questionnaire, and the region was used to extract data from the selected articles. A random-effect meta-analysis model was used to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR) of the association between earning pocket money and menstrual hygiene management. The heterogeneity and publication bias was assessed by using I2 test statistics and Egger\'s test, respectively.
Data from nine studies involving 4783 adolescent girls were extracted. The meta-analysis revealed that adolescent girls who earned pocket money from their parents or relative had 1.64 times higher odds of having good menstrual hygiene management than their counterparts [pooled OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.16-2.34, I2:66.7%, n = 7 (number of studies)]. Similarly, the likelihood of having good menstrual hygiene management was lower by 49% among adolescent girls who did not receive any pocket money from their parents compared to their counterparts (pooled OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.35-0.74, I2:48.4%, n = 2).
The findings revealed that adolescent girls who earned pocket money were more likely to practice good menstrual hygiene management. Progress toward better menstrual hygiene will necessitate consideration of this factor.
摘要:
由于缺乏负担得起的月经吸收材料或购买卫生巾的钱,埃塞俄比亚和其他地方的许多青春期女孩在每月周期中错过了学校。到目前为止,很少有研究研究了赚取零用钱和保持良好的月经卫生之间的关系。因此,本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在综合埃塞俄比亚青少年获得零花钱与月经卫生管理之间关联的现有最佳证据.
我们系统地搜索了PubMed,Hinari,科学直接,科克伦图书馆,ProQuest,POPLINE,非洲在线杂志,直接开放获取期刊,和谷歌学者研究埃塞俄比亚青春期女孩的零花钱与月经卫生管理之间的关系,在出版年份没有限制。用于横断面研究的JoannaBriggs研究所质量评估工具用于评估纳入研究的质量。一份预制的检查表,包括变量:第一作者,出版年份,样本量,问卷类型,该区域用于从所选文章中提取数据。使用随机效应荟萃分析模型来估计赚取零用钱与月经卫生管理之间的关联的合并比值比(OR)。异质性和发表偏倚采用I2检验统计量和Egger检验进行评估。分别。
从涉及4783名少女的9项研究中提取了数据。荟萃分析显示,从父母或亲戚那里赚到零用钱的青春期女孩拥有良好月经卫生管理的几率是同龄人的1.64倍[汇总OR=1.64,95%CI:1.16-2.34,I2:66.7%,n=7(研究数量)]。同样,与父母相比,没有从父母那里获得任何零用钱的青春期女孩获得良好月经卫生管理的可能性降低了49%(汇总OR=0.51,95%CI:0.35-0.74,I2:48.4%,n=2)。
调查结果显示,赚零用钱的青春期女孩更有可能实行良好的月经卫生管理。朝着更好的月经卫生发展将需要考虑这一因素。
