Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Tinea capitis is a global public health concern with a unique therapeutic challenge and mostly affects children. The burden is double in developing countries. There is no study on school-going children from the urban residence in Ethiopia.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prevalence of Tinea capitis and its associated factors among school children in Gondar town northwest, Ethiopia 2021.

METHODS

An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among school children in Gondar town from November 20 to December 20, 2021. Data was collected through an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. A stratified simple random sampling technique was employed. Then data were entered into EPI Info version 7.22 and transferred to Statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22 for further analysis. The binary logistic regression model was employed to identify factors associated with tinea capitis, and the strength of association and statistical significance was declared using the adjusted odds ratios with its corresponding 95% CI, and p-value ≤ 0.05 respectively.

RESULT

The prevalence of tinea capitis among school children in Gondar town was found to be 29.4%. Public school student (AOR = 2.79 95% CI: 1.34-5.87), widowed mother (AOR = 6.09, 95% CI: 1.83-11.23), students in the age group of 5-8 years (AOR = 3.79 95% CI: 1.68-8.55), animal contact (AOR = 2.61 95% CI: 1.15-5.90), and family similar illness category (AOR = 8.49 95% CI: 3.73-11.39) have risen the likelihood of tinea capitis among school children.

CONCLUSIONS

The prevalence of tinea capitis was higher. Young age, children from widowed marital status, illiterate mother, history of share blades, animal contact, a family similar illness, and lower number of living rooms are important factors contributing to tinea capitis among school children. Health education for the mother on the mode of transmission, prevention, and improve the low socioeconomic status of the parent is crucial.

摘要

引言

头癣是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，具有独特的治疗挑战，主要影响儿童。在发展中国家，这一负担是双倍的。在埃塞俄比亚，没有关于城市地区在校儿童的研究。

目的

确定 2021 年在埃塞俄比亚贡德尔镇的在校儿童中头癣的患病率及其相关因素。

方法

这是一项 2021 年 11 月 20 日至 12 月 20 日在贡德尔镇进行的基于机构的横断面研究。通过访谈者管理的结构化问卷收集数据。采用分层简单随机抽样技术。然后，数据被输入 EPI Info 版本 7.22，并转移到统计软件包社会科学版（SPSS）22 进行进一步分析。采用二元逻辑回归模型来确定与头癣相关的因素，关联强度和统计学意义使用调整后的优势比及其相应的 95%CI 表示，p 值≤0.05。

结果

在贡德尔镇的在校儿童中，头癣的患病率为 29.4%。公立学校学生（AOR=2.79，95%CI：1.34-5.87）、丧偶母亲（AOR=6.09，95%CI：1.83-11.23）、5-8 岁年龄组的学生（AOR=3.79，95%CI：1.68-8.55）、与动物接触（AOR=2.61，95%CI：1.15-5.90）和家庭类似疾病类别（AOR=8.49，95%CI：3.73-11.39）都增加了在校儿童患头癣的可能性。
