• W4239849605 abstract "<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> : Urinary tract infection is an infection of any part of the urinary system starting from the kidneys up to the urethra. It is a common infection with a prevalence of about 33%. If left unattended to urinary tract infections can lead to serious complications. The objective of the study was to assess which of the known risk factors for urinary tract infections are more common among pupils at Ndola Primary School and also assess which age group and sex have more risks. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> Assessing known/common risk factors for urinary tract infections </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> : The study was a cross-sectional study and targeted primary school pupils aged between 7 and 12 years of age. Simple semi-structured questionnaires and a data collection form were used to collect data. The study also reviewed what other studies regarding urinary tract infections have found in other regions of Africa and a few from outside Africa then compared them to our findings </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> : Findings revealed that Lack of deworming was the commonest risk factor amongst pupils with a prevalence of 84%. The least common risk factor is lack of circumcision among boys 37.1%. Ignoring the urge to void had a prevalence of 72.1% while inadequate water intake, constipation and wiping from back to front had 71.2%, 66.9% and 63.9, respectively. The study also revealed that there was no association between age/sex and the risk factors for urinary tract infections except voiding which had a P value of 0.045. Furthermore, water and sanitation conditions existing at the school are very poor and below standard. Pupil toilet ratio is 1:166 and 1:191 for boys and girls, respectively </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> The study showed that most pupils are exposed to the risks factors for urinary tract infections with the commonest risk being lack of deworming and the least being lack of circumcision. There is great need to enhance efforts to improve sensitization by coming up with strategies to reach as many pupils as possible and organize workshops and training programs to assist teachers involved in health education in schools. The number of toilets should be increased to improve hygiene conditions existing at the school. </sec>" @default.
