Abstract

Background: Menstruation is a biological process that begins in females in adolescent age. Poor menstrual hygiene can result in significant reproductive disorders. However, improving the knowledge about menstruation even before menarche can improve menstrual hygiene.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the determinants of knowledge and practice of adolescent girls towards menstrual hygiene in Damaturu, Northeastern-Nigeria.

Methods: A descriptive cross‑sectional study was conducted among 300 adolescent girls in Damaturu. Data was collected using semi‑structured; self‑administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 and the level of significance was set at 0.05.

Result: Out of 300 participants, 32.7% were 14 years old, with a minimum age of 12 years and a maximum age of 16 years. 75.4% lived with both parents.  1.7% had mothers with secondary education or higher, while 77% had mothers with no formal education. 75.4% of the mothers were housewives, while 1.3% were civil servants. 32.7% of the respondents attained menarche at the age of 12 years. Duration of bleeding was four to six days for 47.7% of the girls, while 25.3% had bleeding for less than four days.  55.7% reported 21 to 35 days between their periods. 20% of the respondents experienced lower abdominal pain during menstruation, The mother’s education status (p = 0.022), living with family members (p = 0.007), and prior knowledge on menstruation before menarche (p = 0.006), were significantly associated with the knowledge regarding menstruation.

Conclusion: There was poor knowledge and practice towards menstruation among adolescent girls in Damaturu, Northeast-Nigeria, this requires significant improvements. Sensitization campaigns about menstrual hygiene and its benefit at conventional and Islamic school, public lectures at women gathering and, electronic/broadcast media are recommended.

Introduction

To practice menstrual hygiene, girls and young women use sanitary products and require adequate knowledge about how to dispose of them properly, wash their genitalia, and then wash their hands. Limited knowledge of menstrual hygiene promotes unhygienic practices that negatively impact young girls1 health, reproductive health, have inadequate knowledge of hygienic practices surrounding their menstrual bleeding, indicating the need to promote menstrual hygiene awareness across the healthcare system.3   Furthermore, the low level of knowledge points to the need for policies to improve knowledge and safe, hygienic practices toward menstruation in institutions. Adolescent menstrual hygiene and proper self-care play an essential role in adolescent health and wellbeing. The attitude and behavior toward menstruation and menstrual hygiene practice are affected by many factors, including the social, cultural, economic, and religious background. To develop effective interventions to improve menstrual hygiene practices, it is important to explore existing knowledge and practice towards menstrual hygiene. Unhygienic menstrual practices result in minor health issues like itchiness or rashes in the perineal area, a bad odor or major complications like pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, poor quality of life, and toxic shock syndrome.5 All these can result in a constant school absence rate, high drop-out rate, poor academic performance, and lower self-esteem among menstruating females.

Methods

Study area: The study was conducted in Yobe State Specialist Hospital Damaturu. It was established in 1973 as a Comprehensive health Centre following an increasd population in the community, the hospital was expanded and upgraded to the status of general hospital in 1991 then to that of a specialist hospital in 1998. It has 360 bed space and 33 services points. Damaturu is the headquarters of Yobe State and cover a total area of 2,366km2. It has an estimated population of 137,000 and a population density of 37/km2, the residents are predominantly farmers

Study design: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. 

Study population:  The study population comprised of young girls between the age of 12 to 16 years who attended General Out Patients Clinic. 

Sample size: The sample size was calculated using Fisher's formula of minimum sample size determination: n = Z2pq/d2 Where: n = minimum sample size, Z = 1.96, Standard normal deviate set at 95%, p = 5% (0.05), percentage of adolescence girls’ attendee in general outpatient clinic. q = 1-p, d = Degree of accuracy After adding 10% non-response; the minimum sample size was = 300

Sampling technique: A systematic sampling method was used. Adolescent girls who made the criteria were selected during general outpatient clinic who came to see physician for other complaint not related to menstruation. All girls that consented were selected and administered with the questionnaire.

Data collection: 

A registered nurse was trained on participants’ recruitment, providing research information to participants, ethical considerations, and the questionnaire administration. The participants were met in the privacy of designated consulting room. They were given an adequate explanation of the study and consent was obtained, then interview was administered, each lasted for about 10-15 minutes.

Data analysis:

The Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 24.0 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, including frequency table and percentage and Chi-square test was used to test for association of independent and dependent variables.

Discussion

This study assessed the level of knowledge and practice of menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls attending outpatient clinic in specialist hospital Damaturu, Northeast Nigeria. The study's results revealed that the respondents were mostly in their teenage and young adulthood years. In this age bracket, girls and young women receive menstrual education from their mothers or sisters. They are expected to practice what they have learned as they grow and live independently.8,9 A previous report suggests that many girls in Nigeria receive menstrual hygiene education from their mothers, older siblings and peers.15 Although a study 

conducted in Nigeria revealed that 17.8% of girls were exposed to menstrual hygiene knowledge from their teachers.4 Another study revealed that some teachers in Nigerian schools were uncomfortable discussing the subject.6 This highlights the need to train teachers on appropriate ways to communicate issues relating to menstrual hygiene to their girls. Respondents from this study had access to resources, making it easy for them to purchase sanitary pads and other cleaning materials. However, this might not be the case for many girls in Nigeria as evidence suggests that poverty has remained a significant issue in the country, where over 100 million people exist on less than one dollar per day, and the country is one of the nation’s having the highest number of people living in extreme poverty. It is important to note that menstrual hygiene is now considered a basic human right; Scotland was reported as the first country to make period products available free of charge,8 and a state of Australia has also implemented this for public secondary school girls.2,3 Efforts by governmental and non-governmental organizations to make period products available free of charge or at subsidized rates in low and middle-income countries like Nigeria are now warranted.In this study, most respondents had poor knowledge of menstrual hygiene. This was at variance with a study conducted in Nepal, which found adequate knowledge of menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls.10 However, this was in tandem with another study that found that over two-thirds of girls had poor knowledge of menstruation11. According to a study conducted in rural Gambia,4 females learn about menstruation from their mothers, teachers, and siblings. This implies that the respondents’ understanding of this study does not necessarily stem from their knowledge about the female reproductive system learned in school. The basic knowledge of this study’s respondents could also have stimulated their awareness of how menstruation impacts their education, pain perception and the amount of bleeding experienced monthly.13 According to a study conducted in rural Gambia, the knowledge transferred from mothers or family members may also be filled with taboos and myths about menstruation, including the characteristics such as smell and the hygiene of menstrual blood.4 This could explain why about half of the respondents in this study demonstrated bad menstrual hygiene practices, suggesting that health practitioners can utilize various media to correct myths and misconceptions regarding menstrual hygiene. As nurses effectively deliver various educational interventions among females3 through various means like Health interventions, they can reach females in rural and underserved areas; they should design Health interventions focusing on menstrual health for females across Nigeria as a high level of mobile phone usage has been reported among females in Nigeria.1 

Conclusion

The level of knowledge and practices towards menstruation among adolescent girls in Damaturu, Northeastern Nigeria, requires significant improvements. This improvement of knowledge could reduce the risk of future reproductive disorders. We recommend that the decision‑makers in the education sector include in educational courses for adolescent girls’ lessons about their reproductive health and healthy hygienic measures during menstruation. This needs to be the primary source of information for girls about their menstruation rather than relying on their mothers’ knowledge or obtaining information from untrusted resources, which might affect their health and wellbeing.
