淮安市淮安区居民和学生疟防知识知晓率调查

Investigation on awareness rates of malaria prevention knowledge among residents and students in Huai'an District,Huai'an City

目的：了解淮安市淮安区居民和中、小学生疟防知识知晓情况，为推进疟疾消除进程提供科学依据。方法随机选择淮安区3个镇，每镇选择1个村、1所小学和1所初中，对其中18岁以上居民、4～6年级小学生及初中生进行疟防知识问卷调查。结果共调查居民305人，中、小学生618人。学生疟防知识知晓率为89.97%，其中中、小学生知晓率分别为85.94%和94.10%，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）。居民疟防知识知晓率为80.98%，低于中小学生，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。中小学生对“预防疟疾方法”知晓率最高（96.74%），“疟疾治疗药物”知晓率最低（68.93%）；居民知晓率最高的是“疟疾传播途径”（95.08%），最低的是“4·26疟疾宣传日”（64.26%）。除“疟疾传播途径”和“预防疟疾方法”外（P均＞0.05），学生和居民其余单项防治知识知晓率差异均有统计学意义（P均＜0.01）。结论虽然淮安市淮安区人群疟防知识知晓率达到了相关要求，但仍需进一步加强疟疾健康教育工作，尤其是小学生、女性居民及劳务输出人员的健康教育。

Objective To understand the awareness status on malaria control knowledge of residents,primary and middle school students in Huai’an District,Huai’an City,so as to provide the evidences for promoting the malaria elimination process in this district. Methods Three towns in Huai’an District were selected randomly,and one village,one primary school and one junior middle school in each town were chosen as the investigation sites. The residents over 18 years old,the primary school students in Grade 4 to 6,and the junior middle students in the investigation sites were investigated by questionnaires to under？stand their awareness status on knowledge of malaria control. Results Totally 305 residents and 618 students were investigated. The awareness rate of students was 89.97%,and the rates of the junior middle school students and primary school students were 85.94%and 94.10%,respectively,the difference between them was statistically significant（P〈0.01）. The awareness rate of the residents was 80.98%,which was lower than that of the students（P〈0.05）. For the students,the awareness rate on“pre？caution of malaria”（96.74%）was the highest,while that on“drug of malaria”（68.93%）was the lowest. For the residents,the rate on“transmission route of malaria”（95.08%）was the highest,that on“4·26 is Malaria Day”（64.26%）was the lowest. Ex？pect the items of“transmission route of malaria”and“precaution of malaria”（both P〉0.05）,the differences of the awareness rates on all the other items between the students and residents were statistically significant （all P〈0.01）. Conclusions Al？though the awareness rates of malaria control knowledge in the population of Huai’an District,Huai’an City have achieved the goal of the relevant requirement,the health education on malaria control still should be strengthened,especially for the primary students,female residents and exported labor service personnel.
