云南边境居民疟疾常识知晓率调查

Study on malaria knowledge in border population, Yunnan Province

目的了解云南边境地区居民对疟疾防治知识的认识水平。方法采用分层随机不等比例抽样调查方法,问卷调查居民一般情况、疟疾常识知晓情况和有关疟史等。结果疟疾防治常识在云南边境地区居民中的普及率极低,人群对≥3个疟防常识的知晓率在不同年龄、文化程度、性别、民族和体质上的分布差异均具有统计学意义。多因素回归分析显示,影响边境地区居民掌握疟防常识的因素有年龄、性别、文化程度和有无疟史4方面,各因素的比值比分别为3.373、1.210、2.956和3.698。结论云南边境地区居民的疟疾认知水平亟待提高,应该重点加强对青少年、妇女和文化水平较低人群的疟防常识普及。
