BACKGROUND
Traditional eye medicine is a form of biologically based therapies, practices, or partially processed organic or inorganic agents that can be applied to the eye and lead to a blinding complication. Attitude towards those medicines plays a pertinent role in the practice of those traditional eye medicines.
OBJECTIVE
To determine attitude towards traditional eye medicine and associated factors among adult ophthalmic patients attending University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital-Tertiary Eye Care and Training Center, Northwest Ethiopia, 2020.
METHODS
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 417 newly presenting adult ophthalmic patients who were selected by using a systematic random sampling method from June 22 to August 11, 2020. The data from the interview-based structured questionnaire were entered into Epi Info 7 and analyzed by SPSS 20. Frequency and cross-tabulations were used for descriptive analysis. Association between variables was analyzed using binary logistic regression through the enter method with a 95% confidence interval.
RESULTS
A total of 417 subjects with a 98.8% response rate have participated in the study. Of the total study subjects, 60.7% (253) (95% CI: 19-26%) had a positive attitude towards traditional eye medicine. Residing in a rural area (AOR=6.46 (95% CI: 2.89-14.45)), positive family history of traditional eye medicine use (AOR=8.01 (95% CI: 4.17-15.37)) and availability of traditional healer (AOR=19.43 (95% CI: 12.06-31.64)) were significantly associated with a positive attitude towards traditional eye medicine.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Most adult ophthalmic patients had a positive attitude towards traditional eye medicine. Residing in a rural, availability of a traditional healer, and positive family history of traditional eye medicine use had a significant positive association with a positive attitude. Educating the traditional healers on safe practices is crucial in reducing the burden.
背景
传统眼药是一种基于生物的疗法、做法或经过部分加工的有机或无机药剂，可应用于眼部并导致致盲并发症。对这些药物的态度在传统眼药的使用中起着相关作用。
目的
确定2020年在埃塞俄比亚西北部贡德尔大学综合专科医院三级眼保健和培训中心就诊的成年眼科患者对传统眼药的态度及相关因素。
方法
2020年6月22日至8月11日，采用系统随机抽样方法对417名新就诊的成年眼科患者进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究。基于访谈的结构化问卷数据录入Epi Info 7并使用SPSS 20进行分析。频率和交叉表用于描述性分析。变量之间的关联通过二元逻辑回归采用进入法进行分析，置信区间为95%。
结果
共有417名受试者参与了研究，应答率为98.8%。在所有研究对象中，60.7%（253名）（95%可信区间：19 - 26%）对传统眼药持积极态度。居住在农村地区（比值比=6.46（95%可信区间：2.89 - 14.45））、有使用传统眼药的阳性家族史（比值比=8.01（95%可信区间：4.17 - 15.37））以及有传统治疗师（比值比=19.43（95%可信区间：12.06 - 31.64））与对传统眼药持积极态度显著相关。
结论与建议
大多数成年眼科患者对传统眼药持积极态度。居住在农村、有传统治疗师以及有使用传统眼药的阳性家族史与积极态度呈显著正相关。对传统治疗师进行安全操作教育对于减轻负担至关重要。
