摘要

背景:在包括老挝人民民主共和国(Lao PDR)在内的中低端国家,为了获得安全的饮用水,家庭水处理(HWT)对于降低腹泻风险非常重要。然而,在大多数全国性调查中,家庭水处理的测量主要依赖于自我报告。因此,自我报告测量的有效性令人担忧。本研究旨在确定老挝农村地区报告有烧开水习俗的家庭中存在烧开水习俗的家庭比例:本研究于2023年9月至10月期间在沙湾拿吉省Xepon县两个保健中心集水区的四个村庄中随机抽取了108户家庭。家庭的纳入标准是报告煮沸为 HWT 的家庭。调查人员使用问卷对一名成年家庭成员进行了访谈,并通过家访对开水进行了观察。对收集到的信息进行了描述性统计,对分类变量使用频率和比例,对连续变量使用中位数和四分位距。采用费雪精确检验法进行二元分析,以评估各因素与是否使用开水之间的关联:结果:在 108 个报告有烧开水习惯的家庭中,有 91 个家庭能够向调查员展示自我报告的烧开水情况。因此,有开水的家庭比例为 90.1%(95% 置信区间:82.5-95.1%)。与没有固定烧水时间的家庭相比,有固定烧水时间的家庭更有可能提供开水(94.5% 对 50.0%)。并非所有家庭成员都一定饮用煮沸的水:约四分之一(25.7%)的参与者表示,有些家庭成员饮用未煮沸的水:这项研究表明,在报告烧开饮用水的家庭中,90.1% 的家庭能够提供装有自我报告的开水的容器。这表明,自我报告的烧水方法在研究村庄中是有效的。

Do they really boil their drinking water? a descriptive study in a rural district of the Lao people's democratic republic.

Background: For safe drinking water, household water treatments (HWT) is important to reduce the risk of diarrhea in low-and-middle countries including Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). However, the measurement of HWT relies chiefly on self-report in most nationwide surveys. Thus, the validity of self-reported measurement is of concern. The objective of this study was to determine the proportion of households with the presence of boiled water among households that report boiling practices in a rural area of the Lao PDR.

Methods: This study was conducted with randomly selected 108 households in the four villages in the catchment area of the two health centers, in Xepon district of the Savannakhet province, between September and October 2023. The inclusion criterion of the households was the households that report boiling as HWT. Surveyors conducted interviews with an adult household member and observations on boiled water through household visits, using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were conducted to summarize the collected information using the frequency with proportion for categorical variables and the median with interquartile range for continuous variables. Bivariate analyses were conducted to assess an association between each of the factors and the presence of boiled water, using Fisher's exact test.

Results: Among the 108 households that reported boiling practice, 91 households were able to show the surveyor self-reported boiled water. Thus, the proportion of households with the presence of boiled water was 90.1% (95% confidence interval: 82.5-95.1%). Households with a fixed schedule of boiling were significantly more likely to present boiled water, compared to households without (94.5% vs. 50.0%). Not all household members do not necessarily drink boiled water: approximately a quarter (25.7%) of the participants reported that some household members drink unboiled water.

Conclusions: This study showed that among households that reported boiling drinking water, 90.1% were able to present a container with self-reported boiled water. It suggests that the self-reported measure of boiling practices can be valid in the study villages.
