Knowledge, attitude and practice on ovarian reserve function among women of childbearing age: a prospective cross-sectional study in Chongqing and surrounding regions.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) on ovarian reserve function among women of childbearing age in Chongqing and surrounding regions, China.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Chongqing and surrounding regions, China.

Participants

Women of childbearing age (18-48 years) by convenience sampling.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The demographic characteristics of the respondents and their KAP on ovarian reserve function were collected by administering 38-item questionnaires.

Results

A total of 510 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean knowledge score of all respondents was 7.56±2.03 (possible range: 0-10), the mean attitude score was 29.12±3.98 (possible range: 8-40) and the mean practice score was 23.45±3.58 (possible range: 6-30). The multivariable analysis showed knowledge level (OR 1.175, 95% CI 1.049 to 1.317, p=0.002), attitude level (OR 1.249, 95% CI 1.167 to 1.337, p<0.001) and eating habits (self-cooked vs eating out, OR 1.958, 95% CI 1.201 to 3.190, p=0.007) were independently associated with better practice level. The structural equation modelling analysis showed that knowledge had a direct influence on attitude (β=0.487, p=0.030) and practice (β=0.312, p=0.012) and an indirect influence on practice (β=0.213, p=0.016). Attitude had a direct influence on practice (β=0.438, p=0.007). The total influence of knowledge on practice was significant (β=0.525, p=0.012).

Conclusions

The women living in Chongqing and surrounding regions had good knowledge, moderate attitude and good practice towards ovarian reserve function. The knowledge aspect can be further improved by education, which in turn might also improve practice among women of childbearing age.

Project description:BackgroundCervical cancer is the second most common female cancer which Ethiopia put a strategic goal to reduce its incidence and mortality by 2020. Lack of knowledge and poor attitude towards the disease and risk factors can affect screening practice and development of preventive behavior for cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, practices and factors for each domain for cervical cancer among women of child bearing age in Hossana town, Southern, Ethiopia.MethodsCommunity based cross sectional study was carried out in June 2015. A total of 583 participants were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Pretested structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to gather the data. Data were entered in to Epi Info software version 3.5.4 and exported to SPSS version 16 for descriptive and logistic regression analysis.ResultsTwo hundred seventy (46.3%) of the respondents had poor comprehensive knowledge. Only 58 (9.9%) of participants had been screed for the cervical cancer before the survey. Two hundred three (34.8%) of participants had negative attitude towards selected proxy variables. Not having health seeking behavior for cervical cancer [AOR: 5.45, 95% CI: (1.18, 30.58), P <0.031], had not ever received information about cervical cancer and its prevention [AOR: 2.63, 95%CI: (1.78,8.84), P < 0.018] and not actively seeking health information about cervical cancer [AOR: 6.25, (95%CI: (1.26, 31.06) P < 0.025] were significantly associated factors with poor knowledge. Poor knowledge score was associated with poor attitude [AOR: 56.51, 95%CI: (23.76, 134.37), P <0.001]. Had not ever received information about the disease from any source [AOR: 45.24, (95%CI: (11.47, 178.54), P <0.001] was significantly associated factor with not to be screened for the disease.ConclusionThis study highlighted the importance of awareness creation, increasing knowledge, promoting active searching for health information and experiences of receiving information from any information sources regarding cervical cancer. Therefore, it will be essential to integrate cervical cancer prevention strategies with other reproductive health services at all level of health care delivery system.

Project description:BackgroundIodine deficiency disorder is one of the major hidden hunger for poverty-stricken coastal rural areas of Bangladesh. Despite various programs, including universal salt iodization, IDD is significantly persistent due to poverty, inadequate knowledge, poor attitude, and practice of iodized salt consumption. The present study aimed to determine iodine concentration in salt at the household level as well as the magnitude of knowledge, attitude, and practice related to iodized salt utilization and iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs).Material and methodA population-based cross-sectional study was carried out using multistage sampling among 400 households in four coastal districts in Bangladesh. A standard pretested questionnaire was used to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards iodized salt consumption. The iodine level was measured using the gold standard iodometric titration technique in the collected salt samples from the selected households.ResultThe study results revealed that almost half of the participants had good knowledge regarding a balanced diet, whereas the positive attitude and practice of balanced diet consumption was relatively low (only 16.2% and 11.3%, respectively). The respondents' education profile and age were strongly correlated with knowledge and attitude; however, the practice was not significantly correlated with age and education. The concentration of iodine in salt at household levels was strongly associated with the practice of using iodized salt. Use of adequate iodized salt was 2.838 times (OR: 2.838, 95% CI: 1.7-4.735) and 3.884 times (OR: 3.884, 95%CI: 2.029-7.433) more likely to have a positive attitude and good practice towards iodized salt and IDDs respectively.ConclusionProper knowledge about iodized salt and IDDs should be introduced to all public education premises levels. Interventions and programs can be formulated to enhance knowledge, attitude, and practice at the household level so that the consumption of adequate iodized salt can be ensured to reduce iodine deficiency problems.
