Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between hygiene and sexual practices and the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) among Jordanian pregnant women.

Methods: The cross-sectional data were collected using self- administered survey from October 2018 to January 2019 in central Jordan. A total of 200 pregnant women completed the survey. All of them were married and aged between 18 and 45 years (M = 27.45; SD = 6.06). The measures used were demographics, social, hygiene and sexual practices.

Results: A significant association was found between the incidence of UTI and the educational level of husbands (p = 0.05), history of UTI in previous pregnancies (p = 0.02) and being in the second trimester of pregnancy (p = 0.02). Their sexual and hygiene practices also were significantly associated with the incidence of UTI.

Conclusion: History of UTI in previous pregnancies, hygiene and sexual practices are associated with increased incidence of UTI among Jordanian pregnant women. Appropriate strategies and techniques to promote health and preventive behaviors for pregnant women with UTI should be provided to improve the quality of life among pregnant women and reduces economic burdens on health care system.

约旦孕妇的尿路感染：卫生和性行为的作用。

目的：本研究旨在探讨约旦孕妇的卫生习惯和性行为与尿路感染（UTI）发病率之间的关系：这项横断面数据是于 2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 1 月在约旦中部地区通过自我管理调查收集的。共有 200 名孕妇完成了调查。她们均已婚，年龄在 18 至 45 岁之间（M = 27.45；SD = 6.06）。调查内容包括人口统计学、社会、卫生和性行为：结果：尿毒症的发病率与丈夫的受教育程度（P = 0.05）、既往妊娠尿毒症病史（P = 0.02）和妊娠后三个月（P = 0.02）之间存在明显关联。她们的性行为和卫生习惯也与尿毒症的发病率有很大关系：结论：约旦孕妇既往妊娠尿毒症病史、卫生习惯和性行为与尿毒症发病率增加有关。应采取适当的策略和技术，促进尿毒症孕妇的健康和预防行为，以提高孕妇的生活质量，减轻医疗系统的经济负担。
