Abstract:

Background

With economic development and urbanization accelerating, rural women have become the primary labor force in their families, yet their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is not optimistic. In the southern mountainous regions of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, due to geographical remoteness and limited educational levels, local rural women are more prone to neglecting their own health status.

Objective

To investigate the HRQOL of rural women in the southern mountainous regions of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and its impact on health service utilization, providing a theoretical basis for improving rural women's quality of life and rationally allocating health resources.

Methods

From July to October 2019, a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to survey 4 682 women from four counties in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Demographic characteristics, family characteristics, health service accessibility, health status, HRQOL, and health service utilization information were collected. HRQOL was measured using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) scale. A conditional Logistic regression model was used to analyze the impact of HRQOL on health service utilization.

Results

The two-week outpatient visit rate for women in the southern mountainous regions of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was 12.43% (582/4 682), the one-year hospitalization rate was 22.53% (1 055/4 682), and the mean health utility value was (0.88±0.15). Among the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-3L, self-reported pain/discomfort had the greatest impact on outpatient service utilization (OR=1.797, 95%CI=1.470-2.196, P<0.05) and inpatient service utilization (OR=1.791, 95%CI=1.512-2.121, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, health utility values had an impact on both outpatient service utilization (OR=0.291, 95%CI=0.172-0.494, P<0.05) and inpatient service utilization (OR=0.239, 95%CI=0.146-0.391, P<0.05).

Conclusion

The quality of life of rural women in western China is not optimistic, and HRQOL is closely related to health service utilization. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the construction of the primary health service system.

摘要:

背景

随着经济发展和城镇化进程加快,农村女性成为家庭的主要劳动力,农村女性的健康相关生命质量不容乐观。宁夏回族自治区南部山区地理位置偏远,当地女性受限于文化程度,更容易忽视自身健康状况。

目的

探讨宁夏回族自治区南部山区农村女性的健康相关生命质量及其对卫生服务利用的影响,为改善农村女性生命质量、合理配置卫生资源提供理论依据。

方法

于2019年7—10月,采用多阶段整群随机抽样方法,抽取宁夏回族自治区4个县的4 682名女性进行调查。采集调查对象的人口学特征、家庭特征、卫生服务可及性、健康状况、健康相关生命质量、卫生服务利用等信息,其中健康相关生命质量基于三水平欧洲五维健康量表(EQ-5D-3L)测量。采用条件Logistic回归模型分析健康相关生命质量对卫生服务利用的影响。

结果

宁夏回族自治区南部山区女性的2周就诊率为12.43%(582/4 682),近1年住院率为22.53%(1 055/4 682),平均健康效用值为(0.88±0.15)。在EQ-5D-3L的5个维度中,存在疼痛/不适对门诊服务利用情况(OR=1.797,95%CI=1.470~2.196)和住院服务利用情况(OR=1.791,95%CI=1.512~2.121)的影响最大(P<0.05)。多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示,在调整混杂因素情况下,健康效用值对门诊服务利用情况(OR=0.291,95%CI=0.172~0.494)和住院服务利用情况(OR=0.239,95%CI=0.146~0.391)均有影响(P<0.05)。

结论

西部地区农村女性生命质量不容乐观,健康相关生命质量与卫生服务利用密切相关,应进一步加强基层卫生服务体系建设。
