背景:产科超声是一种非侵入性成像模态,它使用声波来提供胎儿的实时图像。建议女性对超声的知识和态度会影响她们的反应,各种障碍也会影响他们的做法。
目的:本研究旨在评估知识,态度,障碍,分析了亚的斯亚贝巴公立医院孕妇产科超声的影响因素。
方法:对2021年7月至8月的422名孕妇进行了基于机构的横断面研究,采用系统随机抽样。采用了结构化问卷,输入EpiInfo7.2,并在SPSS23中进行分析。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归来识别相关因素。
结果:掌握产科超声知识的比例为51.4%,持积极态度的占70.1%。具有学位及以上的女性(AOR2.70;95%CI0.21-35.23),政府就业(AOR3.901;95%CI1.92-7.90),和以前的超声暴露(AOR1.966;95%CI1.24-3.12)与知识显着相关。政府雇用的妇女(AOR6.83;95%CI2.43-19.18),家庭收入为1000-5000birr的女性(AOR5.31;95%CI2.01-14.03),和有先天性异常出生史的妇女(AOR21.07;95%CI2.09-21.21)与对产科超声检查的态度显着相关。研究中的参与者表达了影响他们实践的各种障碍;长时间的等待时间是最常见的(77.3%)。
结论:孕妇对产科超声的知识和态度水平中等良好。然而,有各种各样的障碍,包括患者隐私,等待时间,处理,和副作用,这影响了超声波的利用。
BACKGROUND: Obstetric ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality that uses sound waves to provide a real-time image of the foetus. Women\'s knowledge of and attitudes toward ultrasound are suggested to influence their responses, and a variety of barriers also influence their practices.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, barriers, and associated factors of obstetric ultrasound among pregnant women in public hospitals in Addis Ababa.
METHODS: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 422 pregnant women from July to August 2021 using systematic random sampling. A structured questionnaire was employed, entered into Epi Info 7.2, and analysed in SPSS 23. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associated factors.
RESULTS: The proportion with good knowledge of obstetric ultrasound was 51.4%, and that with positive attitudes was 70.1%. Women with a degree and above (AOR 2.70; 95% CI 0.21-35.23), government employment (AOR 3.901; 95% CI 1.92-7.90), and previous ultrasound exposure (AOR 1.966; 95% CI 1.24-3.12) were significantly associated with knowledge. Government-employed women (AOR 6.83; 95% CI 2.43-19.18), women with 1000-5000birr in household income (AOR 5.31; 95% CI 2.01-14.03), and women with a history of births with congenital anomalies (AOR 21.07; 95% CI 2.09-21.21) were significantly associated with the attitude toward obstetric ultrasound. Participants in the study expressed a variety of barriers that influenced their practices; long waiting time was the most common (77.3%).
CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant women\'s levels of knowledge and attitudes towards obstetric ultrasound were moderately good. However, there were a variety of barriers, including patient privacy, waiting time, handling, and side effects, that influenced the utilisation of ultrasound.
