The aim of this study was to identify the delay and the factors associated with delay in initiating post exposure prophylaxis.
A consecutive sampling method was proceeded, and 199 patients attending the anti-rabies clinic with a history of animal bite reported at SMHS Hospital were the subjects of the study.
Majority of the patients (72.36%) reported a delay within 6 h after exposure, 18.59% within (6-48) h and 9.04% after 48 h of exposure.
Increasing the number of accessible anti-rabies clinics as well as increasing the awareness among general public about timely post exposure prophylaxis in the community are some of the factors that need to be implemented.
本研究旨在确定暴露后预防措施启动延迟情况及其相关因素。
采用连续抽样法,选取在SMHS医院就诊的199例有动物咬伤史的抗狂犬病门诊患者作为研究对象。
大多数患者(72.36%)报告在暴露后6小时内出现延迟,18.59%在(6 - 48)小时内,9.04%在暴露后48小时后出现延迟。
增加可及的抗狂犬病门诊数量以及提高社区公众对及时进行暴露后预防的认识是需要实施的一些因素。
