| Introduction: Since the inception of human history, women have played a serious role in the protection, use and management of natural resources. They play an essential role in the health and sustainable development of their communities and countries, as well as in preserving the earth's ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the level of awareness of the consequences of water consumption among women in Yazd city in 2022. Materials and Methods: This study is of cross-sectional-descriptive type carried out in the year 2022. The sample size was 350 women who visited health centers in Yazd city. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire for measuring awareness of the consequences of water consumption. The data was analyzed through SPSS software version 24 using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and independent t-test at a significance level of 0.05. |
Results: The average age of the studied women was 33.05±3.62. The mean and standard deviation of the awareness score of the consequences of water consumption was 19.25±4.67 and 53% of women in Yazd city were in a poor state of awareness. There was a significant relationship between the score of awareness of the consequences of water consumption and the level of education (P<0.05). The most important sources of information were radio and television, and in the second place, health center staff.
| Conclusion: Considering the low level of knowledge of the studied women in the field of the consequences of water consumption, it is necessary to hold classes and workshops by responsible organizations such as ABFA, municipality and health centers. |
