UNASSIGNED: this cross-sectional study was conducted at Adeoyo teaching hospital located in Ibadan, Nigeria. The hospital-based study population included consenting mothers. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered modified validated demographic health survey questionnaire. The statistical analysis involved both descriptive (mean, count, frequency) and inferential statistics (Chi-square, logistic regression). Level of statistical significance was set at 0.05.
UNASSIGNED: mean age of the study´s total of 1373 respondents was 29 years (SD: 5.2). Of these, 60% (818) were pregnant. The non-pregnant mothers of children under five years old showed a significantly increased odds (OR: 7.55, 95% CI: 3.81, 14.93) for the uptake of malaria intervention. Within the low SES category, women aged 35 years and above were significantly less likely to utilize malaria intervention (OR=0.08; 95% CI: 0.01-0.46; p=0.005) compared to those younger. In the middle SES, women who have one or two children were 3.51 times more likely than women with three or more children to utilize malaria intervention (OR=3.51; 95% CI: 1.67-7.37; p=0.001).
UNASSIGNED: the findings provide evidence that age, maternal grouping, and parity within the SES category can significantly impact on uptake of malaria interventions. There is a need for strategies to boost the SES of women because they play significant roles in the wellbeing of members of the home.
■这项横断面研究是在位于伊巴丹的Adeoyo教学医院进行的,尼日利亚。以医院为基础的研究人群包括同意的母亲。使用面试官管理的经修改的经过验证的人口健康调查问卷收集数据。统计分析既涉及描述性的(平均值,计数,频率)和推断统计(卡方,逻辑回归)。统计显著性水平设定为0.05。
■该研究总共1373名受访者的平均年龄为29岁(标准差:5.2)。其中,60%(818)怀孕。5岁以下儿童的未怀孕母亲接受疟疾干预的几率显着增加(OR:7.55,95%CI:3.81,14.93)。在低SES类别中,与年龄较小的女性相比,年龄在35岁及以上的女性使用疟疾干预的可能性明显较低(OR=0.08;95%CI:0.01-0.46;p=0.005).在SES中间,有一个或两个孩子的女性使用疟疾干预的可能性是有三个或三个以上孩子的女性的3.51倍(OR=3.51;95%CI:1.67~7.37;p=0.001).
■这些发现提供了证据,产妇分组,SES类别内的均等会对疟疾干预措施的吸收产生重大影响。需要制定战略来提高妇女的SES,因为她们在家庭成员的福祉中发挥着重要作用。
