摘要
本研究记录了密苏里州圣路易斯市高中生经期用品不安全、旷课以及利用学校资源获取经期用品的情况。女学生用英语完成了一项匿名自填式调查(n = 119)。调查采用了描述性统计方法来确定生理期用品需求的普遍程度、用于获取生理期用品的资源以及与生理期有关的旷课情况。参与者的平均年龄为 15.78±1.28 岁。近三分之二(64.4%(95% CI 55.1%-73.0%)的受访者表示经期用品不安全。三分之二(66.9% (95% CI 57.7%-75.3%))的受访者表示至少使用过一种学校资源来获取月经用品。三分之一的参与者(33.6%(95% CI 25.0%-43.1%))称因缺少生理期用品而缺课。学校护士需要认识到 MHM 如何影响学生的出勤率,以及他们可以采取哪些措施来帮助减少与月经有关的旷课现象。
Period Product Insecurity, School Absenteeism, and use of School Resources to Obtain Period Products among High School Students in St. Louis, Missouri.
Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) among female students is a neglected public health issue in the U.S. This study documented period product insecurity, school absenteeism, and use of school resources to obtain period products among high-school students in St. Louis, MO. Female students completed an anonymous, self-administered survey in English (n = 119). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the prevalence of period product need, resources used to obtain period products, and period-related absenteeism. The mean age of participants was 15.78 ± 1.28. Nearly two-thirds (64.4% (95% CI 55.1%-73.0%)) reported period product insecurity. Two-thirds (66.9% (95% CI 57.7%-75.3%)) reported using at least one of the school's resources to obtain period products. One-third of the participants (33.6% (95% CI 25.0%-43.1%)) reported missing school due to a lack of period products. School nurses need to be cognizant of how MHM affects their students' attendance at school and what measures they can take to help reduce menstruation-related absenteeism.
