| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: Adolescent girls constitute a vulnerable group not only with respect to their social status but also in relation to their health. Issues associated with menstruation are never discussed openly and the silence surrounding menstruation burdens young girls by keeping them ignorant of this biological function. This study aimed at determining the knowledge and practice of menstrual hygiene among ordinary secondary school girls in Ilemela district, Mwanza. <br/><br/>Methodology: This was a cross section prospective study conducted in secondary schools in Ilemela district Mwanza. Random sampling was done to obtain 10 schools. A convenience sampling was done in each school in order to obtain 39 students. Self-administered questionnaires were given to students to fill.<br/><br/>Results: A total of 286 ordinary secondary girls participated in this study. Two hundred and eighty-one (73.4%) of the respondents had good knowledge about menstrual hygiene. Two hundred and twenty-six (59%) of the respondents had good practice on menstrual hygiene. Factors hindering menstrual hygiene practice were found to be failure to earn pocket money from parents or guardians (p value = 0.018), inability to afford menstrual management materials (p value = 0.002), lack of TV or/and radio at home (p value = 0.007) and lack emergence menstrual protection materials provision at school (p value = 0.002). <br/><br/>Conclusion: The knowledge and practice of menstrual hygiene among ordinary secondary school girls in Ilemela district above average. Failure to earn pocket money from parents or guardians, inability to afford menstrual management materials, lack of TV or/and radio at home and lack of emergence menstrual protection materials provision at school were found to hinder menstrual hygiene practice. <br/> |
