摘要

背景:长效驱虫蚊帐(LLINs)目前是非洲预防疟疾传播最可行的选择之一。在加纳,国家疟疾控制规划(NMCP)已开始实施一项全民覆盖战略,以确保所有人口成员,无论年龄或性别,都能在LLIN下睡觉。目的:本研究评估NMCP在金海乡的LLINs分布和悬挂活动。它力求在社区内建立低剂量蚊帐的覆盖范围,并确定5岁以下儿童和孕妇使用低剂量蚊帐的情况。方法:以户主或其代表为调查对象,对400户家庭进行横断面调查。通过问卷访谈和观察清单收集数据。频率表用于表示比例,卡方检验用于关联。结果:400户(户主或成人代表)中,拥有各类蚊帐的占93.30%,拥有蚊帐的占83.75%,使用蚊帐的占74.92%。子女不满5岁的家庭在所有权和使用率方面分别占69.25%和69.40%。孕妇lls的持有率为84.80%,使用率为72.30%。研究还表明,73.70%的受访者对疟疾有良好的认识,21.30%的人对疟疾有很好的认识,5.01%的人对疟疾的认识不高。此外,89.50%的受访者对LLINs有所了解。结论:经过免费发放和悬挂活动,LLINs在社区的总覆盖率为83.75%,使用率为74.92%。这为NMCP在该社区的LLINs活动提供了有用的评估,并提出了改进的方法。

Coverage and use of long-lasting insecticide treated nets in Kpone-on-Sea Township, Accra, Ghana: A cross-sectional study
Background: Long lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs) are currently one of the most viable options to prevent malaria transmission in Africa. In Ghana, the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) has embarked on a universal coverage strategy to ensure that all members of the population sleep under an LLIN regardless of age or sex. Objective:This study assessed the NMCP’s LLINs distribution and hanging campaign in Kpone–on–Sea Township. It sought to establish the coverage of LLINs in the community and its usage by children< 5 yr. old and in pregnant women. Methods: The cross-sectional study involved 400 households with heads of the households or their representatives as respondents. Data was collected through questionnaire interviews and observational checklists. Frequency tables were used to indicate proportions and Chi Square test for associations. Results: Of the 400 households (represented by a head of the household or an adult representative), 93.30% owned any type of mosquito net and 83.75% owned LLINs and 74.92% used it. Households with children less than 5 yr.old accounted for 69.25% regarding ownership and 69.40% regarding usage. LLINs possession by pregnant women was 84.80% whiles usage was 72.30%. The study also indicated that 73.70% of respondents had good knowledge of malaria, 21.30% had very good knowledge and 5.01% had low knowledge. Furthermore, 89.50% of the respondents had knowledge of LLINs. Conclusion: The general coverage of LLINs in the community was 83.75% and usage was 74.92% 7 mosafter a free distribution and hanging campaign. This provides a useful assessment of NMCP’s LLINs campaign in this community and suggests ways for improvement.
