Menstrual hygiene management practice is the requirements and necessities; such as the use of a sanitary pad or clean and mushy absorbents, sufficient washing of the genital area, proper disposal of the used absorbents, and other special needs for the women during menstruation.
To assess menstrual hygiene management practice and associated factors among prisoners in south Nation Nationalities and Peoples Region, Ethiopia, 2022.
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1 to July 30/2022. The total sample size was 605 and a simple random sampling technique was used to select prison institutions and women. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Data were entered using Epi data 4.6 version and analyzed by using SPSS version 26 software. Multicollinearity was checked and the goodness of fit test was done by using the Hosmer Lemeshow model of goodness fit test. Univariate analysis was done and variables with p value less than 0.25 were taken to bivariate logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratio with the 95% confidence interval was considered and statistical significance was at a p-value less than 0.05 in bivariate logistic regression analysis.
The prevalence of menstrual hygiene management practice was 50.6% (95% CI 47.3-54.4). Age 19-29 years old [AOR: 5.03, 95% CI 1.73-14.62], educational status; not formally educated [AOR: 0.05, 95% CI 0.02-0.13], educational status; primary level [AOR: 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.39], previous occupation; student [AOR: 2.56, 95% CI 1.06-6.21], previous occupation; a private employee [AOR: 4.11, 95% CI 1.48-11.42], previous occupation; government employee [AOR: 3.46, 95% CI 1.18-10.14], absence of support from family [AOR: 0.14, 95% CI 0.08-0.24] and absence of work engagement in prison [AOR: 0.44, 95% CI 0.25-0.78] were associated with MHMP.
In this study, about five from ten women in prison practice menstrual hygiene management. Age, educational status, previous occupation, support from family, and work engagement in prison were important risk factors for MHMP. Therefore, support from family and engaging the women to work in prison institutions may increase the MHMP in prison institutions.
经期卫生管理实践是必要要求；例如使用卫生巾或干净且柔软的吸收剂、充分清洗生殖器区域、妥善处理用过的吸收剂以及女性在经期的其他特殊需求。
评估2022年埃塞俄比亚南方民族和人民地区囚犯的经期卫生管理实践及相关因素。
于2022年5月1日至7月30日进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。总样本量为605，采用简单随机抽样技术选择监狱机构和女性。通过面对面访谈收集数据。数据使用Epi data 4.6版本录入，并使用SPSS 26版软件进行分析。检查了多重共线性，并使用Hosmer Lemeshow拟合优度模型进行拟合优度检验。进行了单因素分析，p值小于0.25的变量被纳入双变量逻辑回归分析。在双变量逻辑回归分析中考虑了调整后的比值比及其95%置信区间，统计学显著性以p值小于0.05为准。
经期卫生管理实践的患病率为50.6%（95%置信区间47.3 - 54.4）。年龄在19 - 29岁之间[AOR：5.03，95%置信区间为1.7
