山东省中小学生疟疾防治知识知晓情况调查

Investigation on awareness status of malaria control knowledge of primary and secondary school students in Shandong Province

目的了解山东省疟疾流行区二类县中小学生疟疾防治知识知晓情况,为制定疟疾防治措施提供依据。方法采用横断面调查方法,统一设计调查问卷,调查山东省5个二类县中小学生疟疾防治知识知晓情况。结果共调查中小学生1 884人,疟疾防治知识总体知晓率为65.9%,其中54.7%的学生知晓疟疾的传播途径,31.5%的学生知道预防疟疾的有效方法。不同疟疾流行区学生疟疾防治知识得分差异有统计学意义(F=172.245,P<0.01),而不同性别、不同学段学生疟疾防治知识知晓率差异无统计学意义(χ2=3.064、3.790,P均>0.05)。结论山东省中小学生疟疾防治知识知晓率尚处于较低水平,应加强中小学生疟疾防治知识健康教育的力度。

Objective To understand the awareness status of malaria control knowledge of primary and secondary school stu dents in malaria endemic areas of Shandong Province, so as to provide the baseline information for formulating the malaria control strategy. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 Type lI malaria-endemic counties in Shandong Province. A struc tured questionnaire survey was administrated to students in primary and secondary schools. Results A total of I gg4 students were completed with the questionnaires and all were effective. The total awareness rate of malaria control knowledge was 65.9%, and 54.7% of the students knew the transmission route of malaria and only 31.5% of the students were aware of the preventive methods of malaria. There were significant differences of the awareness scores of malaria control knowledge among different malar ia endemic areas but there were no significant differences between the awareness rates of male and female students and between two different education levels. Conclusions The awareness of malaria control knowledge of primary and secondary school stu dents in Shandong Province is poor; therefore, the health education of malaria control knowledge for primary and secondary school students should be strengthened.
