新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情发生前后居民中医药认知度对比研究

A comparative study of residents’recognition of traditional Chinese medicine before and after the outbreak of COVID-19

目的分析新型冠状病毒肺炎(以下简称“新冠肺炎”)疫情发生前后居民中医药认知度的变化情况及其影响因素,为促进中医药推广普及提供参考。方法采用线上发放问卷的形式对中国大陆居民进行调查,考察其在新冠肺炎疫情发生前后对中医药的了解程度、信任程度和发展前景态度变化情况并分析相关影响因素。结果回收问卷共3067份,有效问卷2975份,有效应答率97.00%。新冠肺炎疫情发生后,居民对中医药有一定了解及以上程度的占比从47.97%增至59.36%;对中医药比较信任及以上程度的占比从65.44%增至71.29%;对中医药发展前景比较乐观及以上程度的占比从68.94%增至77.01%。年龄、受教育程度、居住地、参加城乡居民基本医疗保险与接受过中医诊疗是新冠肺炎疫情发生后居民对中医药了解程度正向变化的影响因素;年龄与受教育程度是居民对中医药信任程度正向变化的影响因素;年龄、性别、居住地与职业是居民对中医药发展前景态度正向变化的影响因素。结论新冠肺炎疫情发生后居民的中医药认知度整体有所提升,但仍需采取多途径的宣传手段,促进中医药知识普及,提升居民中医药认知度。
