目的:评估在尼日利亚西北部城市和半农村医院就诊的育龄妇女的烧伤知识及其预测因素设计:描述性横断面研究地点:在卡诺(城市环境)的AminuKano教学医院的普通和儿科门诊和普通门诊进行,联邦医疗中心BirninKudu(半农村环境)的儿科门诊和产前诊所。
方法:2021年,从门诊就诊者中随机抽取362名年龄在18-44岁的女性,为期6周。其中,217人来自城市医院。关于他们的社会人口统计学特征和烧伤知识的数据是使用预先测试收集的,半结构化的面试官问卷。
方法:烧伤知识结果:约83.4%,77.1%和77.6%的受访者有足够的一般性,烧伤的初级预防和总体知识,分别。他们的平均总体知识得分为24分中的18.6分,但只有55.5%具有足够的急救知识。研究地点在烧伤急救方面没有显着差异,预防和总体知识得分。然而,城市受访者对烧伤的原因更加无知,并且知道烧伤可能是致命的。更多的半农村受访者知道火焰和化学物质会导致烧伤。总体知识的预测因素是年龄,教育水平,家庭中的孩子数量,之前看到一个烧伤的孩子,和烧伤相关信息的主要来源。
结论:总体烧伤知识的受访者比例较高;然而,他们之间存在知识差距。总的来说,他们的急救知识相对较低。城市和半农村受访者在急救方面没有显着差异,预防,或烧伤的整体知识。然而,城市和半农村研究地点对烧伤原因和烧伤并发症的认识不同.因此,本研究的临床环境为类似的烧伤相关教育干预提供了机会.
OBJECTIVE: To assess burn injury knowledge and its predictors among reproductive-age women attending an urban and a semi-rural hospital in Northwest Nigeria DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional study SETTING: It was conducted in the general and paediatric outpatient clinics of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano (urban setting) and the general outpatient, paediatric outpatient and antenatal clinics of Federal Medical Centre Birnin Kudu (semi-rural setting).
METHODS: In 2021, 362 women aged 18-44 years were randomly selected from clinic attendees over six weeks. Of them, 217 were from the urban hospital. Data regarding their sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge of burn injuries was collected using a pretested, semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire.
METHODS: Knowledge of burn injuries RESULTS: About 83.4 %, 77.1 % and 77.6 % of respondents had adequate general, primary prevention and overall knowledge of burn injuries, respectively. Their mean overall knowledge score was 18.6 out of 24, but only 55.5 % had adequate first-aid knowledge. The study sites did not significantly differ in burns first-aid, prevention and overall knowledge scores. However, urban respondents were more ignorant about the cause of burns and knew that burn injuries could be fatal. More semi-rural respondents knew that flames and chemicals cause burn injuries. Predictors of overall knowledge were age, educational level, number of children in their household, previously seeing a burn-injured child, and primary source of burns-related information.
CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of respondents with adequate overall burn injury knowledge was high; however, knowledge gaps exist among them. Overall, their first-aid knowledge was relatively low. The urban and semi-rural respondents had no significant differences in first-aid, prevention, or overall knowledge of burn injuries. However, knowledge of the causes of burns and burn complications differed between the urban and semi-rural study locations. Therefore, the clinical settings of this study present opportunities for similar burn-related educational interventions.
