健康教育对寄生虫病防治的影响

Impact of Health Education on the Prevention of Parasitic Diseases

目的了解医学院校新生对常见寄生虫病预防的知识、态度、信念、行为(knowledge、attitude、belief、practice,KABP)情况,探讨健康教育的重要性,为进一步搞好人体寄生虫学教学提供依据。方法参照有关KABP调查标准,对贵阳医学院2005级新生采取无记名问卷调查。结果大学前开设健康教育课的占80.54%;开设寄生虫病健康教育课的占41.83%;学生的寄生虫病防治知识平均知晓率13项中有8项在50%以下;态度、信念、健康教育开设形成率14项有6项在50%以下;行为形成率13项有2项在50%以下。结论我国许多中小学对寄生虫病防治的健康教育重视程度不够,教学效果不理想。加强学校、家庭、社区、媒体等各层次的健康教育,改进医学院校学生的寄生虫学教学是十分必要的。
