Anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient to meet physiologic needs, which varies by age, sex, altitude, smoking, and pregnancy status. The study aim is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anemia among pregnant women attending a hospital in southern Ethiopia using a structured interview administered questionnaire.
Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 01-April 30 2015 at Butajira General Hospital, Ethiopia. A total of 217 women responded to the questionnaire and provided blood and stool samples for analysis. Data were analyzed using Statistical packages for social sciences version 20 for windows.
The overall burden of anemia in this study was 27.6%. Residence, ANC follow up, history of excess menstrual bleeding and interpregnancy interval were statistically associated with anemia among the pregnant women. Therefore, working in the identified gaps could reduce the current burden of anemia among pregnant women in the study area.
贫血是一种红细胞数量或其携氧能力不足以满足生理需求的状况,其因年龄、性别、海拔、吸烟和妊娠状态而异。本研究的目的是通过使用结构化访谈管理的问卷,确定埃塞俄比亚南部一家医院就诊的孕妇中贫血的患病率及其相关因素。
2015年3月1日至4月30日在埃塞俄比亚布塔吉拉综合医院进行了基于机构的横断面研究。共有217名妇女回答了问卷,并提供了血液和粪便样本用于分析。使用适用于Windows的社会科学统计软件包20对数据进行分析。
本研究中贫血的总体负担为27.6%。居住地、产前护理随访、月经过多病史和两次妊娠间隔与孕妇贫血在统计学上相关。因此,针对已确定的差距开展工作可以减轻研究区域内孕妇目前的贫血负担。
