辽宁省农村地区居民日光紫外线知信行的调查

Knowledge,attitude and practice about solar ultraviolet radiation among rural residents in Liaoning Province

目的了解中国北方农村地区居民的紫外线知识、日光防护态度以及日光防护习惯。方法以辽宁省丹东市宽甸县和抚顺市抚顺县的当地村民为调查对象,使用自制的调查问卷,开展日光紫外线知信行的调查。结果共316人接受了调查,调查结果显示大多数被调查者知晓紫外线对人体有害,但紫外线对人体有益的知晓率不足50%。仅有极少一部分调查者知道紫外线能够导致眼损伤(白内障:3.80%,翼状胬肉:0.63%)。69.49%的男性和53.33%的女性防晒的最主要目的是为了防止皮肤晒伤。最常采用的防晒措施是穿长袖上衣、长裤和戴遮阳帽。结论辽宁省农村地区的居民的日光紫外线相关知识比较欠缺,对日光防护还不够重视。

Objective To investigate the knowledge about ultraviolet radiation, attitude and practice regarding sun protection among rural residents in northern China. Methods Villagers in the rural areas of Kuandian County, Dandong City and Fun- shun County, Fushun City in Liaoning Province were selected as the research subjects. A self - made questionnaire was used to investigate knowledge, attitude and practice about solar ultraviolet. Results A total of 316 subjects were involved in this sur- vey. Most of the subjects knew that ultraviolet was harmful to human health, but less than half of the subjects knew the health benefit of ultraviolet. Few subjects knew that eye damage could result from ultraviolet. For example, only 3.80 % knew ultraviolet could cause cataract and 0.63 % knew it could cause pterygium. 69.49 % of the surveyed men and 53.33 % of the surveyed women adopted sun protection for preventing sunburn. The most popular sun protection practice was wearing long - sleeve clothes, trousers and sun hats. Conclusions There is a lack of knowledge about solar ultraviolet among residents in rural areas of Liaoning Province; moreover, they pay little attention to sun protection.
