Prevalence of stunting and associated factors among under-five children in Robe Woreda, Arsi zone, Ethiopia
Objective
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of stunting and associated factors among children in Robe Woreda, Ethiopia.
Method
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among under-five children in Robe District from March, 22 – April 22, 2021. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 901 under five children for the study. Data were collected using a structured pretested questionnaire and anthropometric measurement tools. We used Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) software for anthropometric calculation and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to determine factors associated with stunting. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with its 95 % confidence interval (CI) was computed to assess the strength of the association and a P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Result
The overall prevalence of stunting among under-five children was 39.4 %[95 %CI; 36.2, 42.6 %]. Factors such as having large family size (AOR=1.75; 95 %CI:1.12–2.73), lack of latrine facility (AOR=5.36; 95 %CI: 3.32–8.65), history of diarrhea in last two weeks (AOR=2.80;95 % CI:1.80–4.35), pre-lacteal feeding (AOR=10.22; 95 % CI: 4.80–21.74), lack of animal product in daily consumption (AOR=3.43; 95 % CI: 2.13–5.53), lack of fruit in daily consumption (AOR=5.51; 95 % CI: 2.75–11.05) and absence of growth monitoring and promotion (AOR=1.72; 95 %CI:1.08–2.73) were associated with stunting in under-five children.
Conclusions
In this study, around two-fifths of under-five children were stunted. Thus, healthcare providers and caregivers should work on strengthening family planning utilization, enhancing dietary diversity, and improving sanitation and hygiene services to reduce the level of stunting among under-five children.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
