■婚前筛查(PMS)是一项必不可少的全球措施,旨在减少近亲婚姻中常见的特定遗传疾病和性传播疾病的发生。由于缺乏全国性的研究,这项研究旨在了解未婚个体如何看待PMS的风险和益处.
■使用通过不同社交媒体平台分发的在线问卷进行了一项横断面研究,来自沙特阿拉伯本土成年人(18-49岁)的反应仅被纳入研究.问卷基于健康信念模型(HBM)来评估七个不同的结构,包括易感性,严肃,benefits-,barriers-,&提示-行动,自我效能感,社会接受。数据频率用平均值和标准偏差表示;卡方检验和t检验用于独立和因变量的比较。使用多项逻辑回归来预测影响与PMS相关的决策的因素。
■1,522名参与者完成了调查,大多数是18-25岁,其中大多数是女性。大多数是单身,有85名男性和1,370名女性。大多数参与者(59.6%)认为他们的父母是亲戚,而40.5%没有。122名受访者报告说他们必须在部落内结婚。研究结果揭示了所有HBM主题之间的显著相关性,具有不同的优势。值得注意的是,在对利益的感知和对行动的暗示之间发现了一种适度的正相关关系,这表明,提高经前综合症的感知益处可以促进安全的婚姻实践。多项回归分析显示,人口统计学因素和健康信念显着影响个人对PMS和安全婚姻的意图和行为。
■该研究得出的结论是,通过识别和解决障碍,促进积极的社会接受,PMS可以大大有助于预防遗传疾病和促进安全的婚姻实践,虽然横断面设计限制了因果关系的建立,但仍需进一步研究.
UNASSIGNED: Premarital screening (PMS) is an essential global measure that seeks to reduce the occurrence of specific genetic disorders and sexually transmitted diseases common in consanguineous marriages. Due to the lack of a nationwide study, this research was designed to comprehend how unmarried individuals perceive the risks and benefits of PMS.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire distributed through different social media platforms, responses from the native adult population (18-49 years) Saudi Arabia was only included in the study. The questionnaire was based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) to assessing seven different constructs including susceptibility, seriousness, benefits-, barriers-, & cues- to action, self-efficacy, and social acceptance. Data frequency was represented by mean and standard deviation; chi-square and t-tests were conducted for the comparison of independent and dependent variables. A multinomial logistic regression was used to predict factors influencing decisions related to PMS.
UNASSIGNED: 1,522 participants completed the survey, mostly 18-25 years old and most of them were women. The majority were single with 85 men and 1,370 women. Most participants (59.6%) believed their parents were related, while 40.5% did not. 122 respondents reported they had to marry within their tribe. Findings revealed significant correlations among all HBM themes, with varying strengths. Notably, a moderate positive relationship was found between the perception of benefits and cues to action, suggesting that enhancing the perceived benefits of PMS could facilitate safe marriage practices. Multinomial regression analysis revealed that demographic factors and health beliefs significantly influence individuals\' intentions and behaviors toward PMS and safe marriage.
UNASSIGNED: The study concludes that by identifying and addressing barriers, and promoting positive social acceptance, PMS can significantly contribute to preventing genetic diseases and promoting safe marriage practices, although the cross-sectional design limits the establishment of causal relationships and further research is needed.
