Knowledge awareness of gastrointestinal malignant tumor among female residents in Xianyou county

目的:了解仙游县女性居民对消化道恶性肿瘤相关知识认知度的现状,发现存在的突出问题,探讨有针对性的健康教育策略和措施,为当地卫生行政部门制定规划和政策,建立有效干预模式提供参考依据。方法:应用自行设计问卷对仙游县三个较发达乡镇的女性居民进行调查。结果:女性不良生活行为中,"熬夜"、"不按时吃三餐"的人数超过半数;在癌症危险因素中,认知度较低的为"缺乏运动"和"幽门螺杆菌";在癌症早期症状中,对"发烧"、"肚子胀"、"大便变细"、"声音嘶哑"的认知度不高;多数女性居民表示愿意获得癌症预防相关知识,但农村女性居民期望获取知识的途径与实际获取知识的途径不相符,其中以"专家咨询、知识讲座"最为突出。结论:仙游县女性对消化道恶性肿瘤相关知识的知晓度相对较低,与职业、年龄、文化程度有关。应有针对性地进行健康教育,以提高女性对消化道恶性肿瘤的认知度与防治意识,改善女性生存质量,降低消化道恶性肿瘤的发病率和死亡率。

Objective To explore the status quo of knowledge awareness of gastrointestinal malignant tumor among female residents in Xianyou county,to find out the existing problems, to draw up relevant health education strategies and measures,so as to provide reference for the local health administrative departments to formulate plans and policies as well as establish an effective intervention mode. Methods A self--designed questionnaire was adopted to conduct in- vestigation among female residents from three developed townships. Results More than half of the females had bad life behaviors including ＂staying up late＂ ,＂irregular meals a day＂. They were not highly aware of such cancer risk factors as ＂lack of exercise＂ and ＂Helicobacter pylori＂among early symptoms, the awareness rate of ＂having a fever＂, ＂belly expansion＂ ,＂stool thinning＂ and ＂hoarseness＂ was not high. The majority of female residents had expressed a willing- ness to learn cancer prevention related knowledge,but the way the rural female residents expected to aequire knowledge was not in agreement with the real means, among which the ＂expert consultation, lectures＂ was the most obvious con-tradiction. Conclusions There is a relatively low awareness rate of gastrointestinal malignant knowledge among female residents in Xianyou county,which is associated with occupation,age and educational background. Health education ac- tivities should be targeted to different groups of people,in order to raise awareness, prevention and treatment of malig- nant tumor among women, so as to improve the life quality of women and reduce the incidence and mortality of gastroin- testinal cancer.
