Dietary diversity has continued to receive a global attention among pregnant women as they have been considered susceptible to malnutrition because of their increased nutrient demands. Thus, a variety of foodstuffs in their diet are necessary for ensuring the appropriateness of their nutrient consumptions. This study, therefore assessed the dietary diversity practice and its determinants among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Wachemo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed memorial referral hospital, Southern Ethiopia.
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 303 participants from May 1 to June 15, 2019 using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS (version24.0). Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to decide the association of each explanatory variable with the outcome variable. Odds ratio with their 95% confidence intervals was calculated to identify the presence and strength of association, and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05.
The overall prevalence of adequate dietary diversity practices was observed to be 42.6%. The determinants of dietary diversity practice included earning of a monthly income ≥2000 Ethiopian birr (AOR = 1.62; 95%CI:1.19-2.85), maternal educational level (AOR = 2.50; 95% CI: 1.05-6.12), educational status of partner (AOR = 2.45; 95% CI:1.20, 9.57), having a partner who was a government employee (AOR = 4; 95% CI:2.18-7.21), and the receiving of nutritional information (AOR = 1.35; 95% CI: 3.39-6.94).
The study indicated that the overall consumption of adequate dietary diversity practice was found to be low. Therefore, increasing household income, enhancing nutritional related information, advancing the academic level of both wife and her partner is essential to improve women's dietary diversity practice.
由于孕妇的营养需求增加,她们一直容易营养不良,因此,她们的饮食中需要各种食物,以确保其营养摄入的适当性。因此,本研究评估了在埃塞俄比亚南部 Wachemo 大学 Nigist Eleni Mohammed 纪念转诊医院产前诊所就诊的孕妇的饮食多样性实践及其决定因素。
这是一项 2019 年 5 月 1 日至 6 月 15 日在 303 名参与者中进行的基于医院的横断面研究,使用系统随机抽样技术。数据使用 SPSS(版本 24.0)输入和分析。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析来确定每个解释变量与结果变量之间的关联。计算比值比及其 95%置信区间,以确定存在和关联强度,并在 p < 0.05 时宣布具有统计学意义。
总体上,适当的饮食多样性实践的流行率观察到为 42.6%。饮食多样性实践的决定因素包括每月收入≥2000 埃塞俄比亚比尔(AOR = 1.62;95%CI:1.19-2.85)、母亲教育程度(AOR = 2.50;95%CI:1.05-6.12)、伴侣的教育程度(AOR = 2.45;95%CI:1.20-9.57)、伴侣是政府雇员(AOR = 4;95%CI:2.18-7.21)和接受营养信息(AOR = 1.35;95%CI:3.39-6.94)。
本研究表明,总体上适当的饮食多样性实践的消费被发现很低。因此,增加家庭收入、提高与营养相关的信息、提高妻子及其伴侣的学术水平对于改善妇女的饮食多样性实践至关重要。
