Background:-In Ethiopia, Long Lasting Insecticide bed Nets were being distributed based on
the average number of person per household. Despite the large scale distribution of Insecticide
Treated Nets in many malaria endemic countries, there is a wide variation in the availability and
use of Insecticide Treated Nets Long Lasting Insecticide bed Netsat the household level
especially in Lume District
Objective;This study aimed to assess Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets utilization and its’
associated factors among households in Lume district, Oromia region, Ethiopia,from 1 December
2019 up to 30 February 2020
Methodology: A community-based cross sectional study was conducted. The study subjects
were randomly selected 592 households by simple random sampling. Data was collected through
interview and observation checklist.
Data was coded entered and cleaned using Epi- info version 3.5.1 and Statistical analysis was
conducted using SPSS version 21
Bivariate analysis were used to select candidate variables for multivariate analysis at (p<0.25)
Variables found to have association was entered into multiple logistic regression models for
controlling the possible effect of confounders. Model fitness was checked by Hosmer and
Lemeshow test.
OR along with 95% CI were estimated to measure the strength of the association.Level of
statistical significance were declared at P-value ≤ 0.05.
Result: AmonghouseholdswhoownedLong Lasting Insecticide Net509(86.6%),only 63.5% of

the outcome of interest at p < 0.05 showed that TheEducational level of Household head
elementary were 1.86 times more likely to utilizeLong Lasting Insecticide Nets compared to
those unable to write and read(AOR = 1.86, 95% CI 1.20,2.87). , Those household who living in
xii
the Corrugated iron roof houses were 1.91 times more likelyutilize Long Lasting Insecticide Nets
compared to those households living inThatched houses (AOR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.17,3.11). The
average monthly income of respondents above 1501 ET birr were 2.58 times more likely to
utilize LLINs compared to those respondents whose monthly income was under 1500ET Birr
(AOR = 2.58, 95% CI 1.17, 4.52) and also those households who properly hanged bed nets over
sleeping place were 4.01times more likely to utilize Long Lasting Insecticide Nets compared to
those respondents those not properly hanged bed nets over the sleeping place (AOR = 4.01, 95%
(2.72, 5.89)).
Conclusion:This study found that Long Lasting Insecticidal Net utilization was low compared
with national target (Federal Minister of Health). |
