Abstract

Background: Insecticide-treated bed nets are cost-effective vector control methods for malaria prevention. Malaria during pregnancy poses a significant health problem in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess insecticide-treated nets utilization and associated factors among pregnant women in Shebel Berenta District, Northwest Ethiopia.

Objective: To assess insecticide-treated bed nets utilization and associated factors among pregnant women in Shebel Berenta District, Northwest Ethiopia, in 2023.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 15 to April 30, 2023, on 505 randomly selected pregnant women. Data were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire and observational checklist, analyzed with EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 25. Significant factors associated with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets were identified (P < .05, 95% CI) and were reported as statistically significant factors associated with the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets.

Results: The utilization of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets was 45.10% [95% CI: 40.5%-49.2%]. Mothers who had antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 3.359; 95%CI: 1.829, 6.166), mothers with illiterate educational status (AOR = 0.196; 95%CI: 0.064-0.603), and mothers who had received information (message) (AOR = 8.102; 95%CI: 3.942-16.653) were significantly associated with long lasting insecticide-treated net utilization.

Conclusion: Utilization of long lasting insecticide-treated nets by pregnant women was 45.1%, which was lower than the WHO standard. Attending antenatal care, receiving information (messages) about malaria and long lasting insecticide-treated net, and mother's being literate had a substantial impact on long lasting insecticide-treated net utilization. Therefore, efforts should be made to strengthen ANC service, health information and women's educational status to increase utilization of long lasting insecticide-treated nets.

埃塞俄比亚西北部谢贝尔贝伦塔区孕妇的长效驱虫蚊帐使用情况及相关因素。

背景：驱虫蚊帐是预防疟疾的经济有效的病媒控制方法。在埃塞俄比亚，孕期疟疾是一个严重的健康问题。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部 Shebel Berenta 区孕妇使用驱虫蚊帐的情况及相关因素：评估埃塞俄比亚西北部 Shebel Berenta 区孕妇在 2023 年使用驱虫蚊帐的情况及相关因素：2023 年 3 月 15 日至 4 月 30 日，对随机抽取的 505 名孕妇进行了社区横断面研究。数据采用预先测试的结构式问卷和观察清单收集，并使用 EpiData 3.1 和 SPSS 25 进行分析。结果发现了与长效驱虫蚊帐相关的重要因素（P 结果显示：使用长效驱虫蚊帐的孕妇人数比使用长效驱虫蚊帐的孕妇人数多：长效驱虫蚊帐的使用率为 45.10% [95% CI：40.5%-49.2%]。接受过产前护理随访的母亲（AOR = 3.359；95%CI：1.829，6.166）、文盲母亲（AOR = 0.196；95%CI：0.064-0.603）和接受过信息（信息）的母亲（AOR = 8.102；95%CI：3.942-16.653）与长效驱虫蚊帐的使用率显著相关：孕妇使用长效驱虫蚊帐的比例为 45.1%，低于世界卫生组织的标准。参加产前护理、接收有关疟疾和长效驱虫蚊帐的信息（信息）以及母亲识字对长效驱虫蚊帐的使用率有很大影响。因此，应努力加强产前护理服务、健康信息和妇女的受教育程度，以提高长效驱虫蚊帐的使用率。
