This study aimed to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public health facilities in Lalo Kile district, Oromia, Western Ethiopia.
Out of the 315 respondents, the mean age was 24.7 ± 2.54 years ranging between 15 and 44 years. The majority of the respondents were Oromo in ethnicity (90.2%) and protestant in religion (83.2%) and almost all (99%) of the study participants were married. Two hundred twenty-six (72%) of pregnant women were attended at least primary school and two hundred forty-six (78.1%) of the respondents were from farmer households. About half of the households (51.7%) had a monthly income of greater than 35 USD. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection was 138 (43.8%) with the predominance of hookworm (33.7%) followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (7.3%). Being a farmer [AOR, 95% CI 7.3 (1.46, 37.00), P = 0.03], walking barefooted [AOR, 95% CI 6.13 (1.98, 19.00), P = 0.002] and absence of proper handwashing after latrine [AOR, 95% CI 5.36 (1.78, 16.00), P = 0.003] were significantly associated with occurrence of the intestinal parasitic infection.
本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西部奥罗米亚州拉洛基勒区公共卫生设施中接受产前护理的孕妇肠道寄生虫感染的患病率及相关因素。
在315名受访者中，平均年龄为24.7±2.54岁，年龄范围在15至44岁之间。大多数受访者为奥罗莫族（90.2%），宗教信仰为新教（83.2%），几乎所有（99%）的研究参与者都已婚。226名（72%）孕妇至少上过小学，246名（78.1%）受访者来自农户家庭。约一半的家庭（51.7%）月收入超过35美元。肠道寄生虫感染的总体患病率为138例（43.8%），其中钩虫感染占主导（33.7%），其次是蛔虫感染（7.3%）。从事农业工作[AOR，95%CI 7.3（1.46，37.00），P = 0.03]、赤脚行走[AOR，95%CI 6.13（1.98，19.00），P = 0.002]以及便后未正确洗手[AOR，95%CI 5.36（1.78，16.00），P = 0.003]与肠道寄生虫感染的发生显著相关。
