成都市白内障和青光眼及年龄相关性黄斑变性知晓率及知识水平调查（英文）

Awareness and knowledge about cataract,glaucoma,and age-related macular degeneration in Chengdu,China

目的:调查成都市白内障、青光眼及年龄相关黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration,AMD)知晓率、知识水平及自报患病率情况。方法:本研究首先设计了一份关于白内障、青光眼及AMD知晓率及知识水平的结构化问卷,随后使用该问卷在成都市随机选择6个养老机构和四川大学华西医院非眼科门诊患者中进行了调查。本研究采用卡方检验分析各因素对于知晓率及知识水平的影响,并检验其他研究结果与本研究的差异。结果:在所有调查对象中,白内障、青光眼及AMD的知晓率分别为89.9%,68.9%和12.5%;在知晓相应疾病的人群中,具有一定知识水平的比例分别为70.9%,48.1%和44.9%;教育程度影响三种眼病的知晓率,信息来源影响三种眼病的知识水平。白内障、青光眼及AMD的自报患病所占比例分别为7.8%,1.1%和0.6%,40岁以上调查对象中分别为12.5%,1.6%和1.0%。在所有调查对象中,进行过视力测试、眼压测量及眼底检查的比例分别为72.1%,17.9%和20.2%。结论:首次根据本研究在中国大陆地区报道的相关数据,提高白内障、青光眼及AMD(尤其是后两者)知晓率及知识水平十分必要。同时,即便没有任何眼病史,我们也建议人们进行定期眼科检查。
