无锡市青年学生对猴痘的认知现状及其影响因素分析

Current status of monkeypox cognition and associated factors among young students in Wuxi city

目的:了解无锡市青年学生对猴痘的认识情况并分析其影响因素,为制定针对青年学生的猴痘宣传策略提供参考依据。方法:2023年10月,在无锡市一所大专院校开展横断面调查,采取分层随机抽样的方法选取调查对象,样本量估计为812人。利用问卷收集研究对象的社会人口学、行为学、对猴痘知识的认知等信息,采用Logistic回归模型分析猴痘知识知晓的影响因素。结果:调查了818名青年学生,猴痘知识知晓率为35.5%。多因素分析结果显示,年级为二年级(a OR=1.63,95%CI:1.08~2.44)或三年级(a OR=1.63,95%CI:1.08~2.44),近6个月出过国(a OR=2.87,95%CI:1.11~7.43),参加过艾滋病防治知识讲座(a OR=2.11,95%CI:1.32~3.37),近期对猴痘疫情信息的关注频率是偶尔关注(a OR=3.14,95%CI:2.09~4.73)或经常关注(a OR=9.46,95%CI:4.20~21.34),认为有必要在校园内开展猴痘知识宣传讲座(a OR=1.67,95%CI:0.81~3.43),认为猴痘会在国内广泛流行(a OR=1.83,95%CI:1.26~2.65)是青年学生猴痘知识知晓的影响因素。结论:虽然青年学生对猴痘信息有一定关注和了解,但其猴痘知识知晓率不高。针对青年学生人群的猴痘知识宣传教育应紧密结合艾滋病健康教育工作统筹开展,尤其要加强感染风险的警示性教育,提高青年学生的猴痘预防和自我监测意识。

Objective:To understand the current status of monkeypox cognition and associated factors among young students in Wuxi city.Methods:In October 2023,a cross-sectional survey was carried out in a junior college in Wuxi,China.The stratified random sampling method was adopted to select participants,and the sample size was estimated to be 812.A questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic characteristics,behavior,and knowledge about monkeypox.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associated factors with the awareness of monkeypox knowledge among young students.Results:The awareness rate of monkeypox knowledge was 35.5%among 818 young students.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the second grade(a OR=1.63,95%CI:1.08-2.44)or third grade(a OR=1.63,95%CI:1.08-2.44),having been abroad in past 6 months(a OR=2.87,95%CI:1.11-7.43),having participated in lectures on HIV/AIDS education(a OR=2.11,95%CI:1.32-3.37),paying attention to monkeypox occasionally(a OR=3.14,95%CI:2.09-4.73)or frequently(a OR=9.46,95%CI:4.20-21.34),agreeing that it was necessary to conduct monkeypox knowledge publicity lectures on the campus(a OR=1.67,95%CI:0.81-3.43),believing that monkeypox would be widely spread in China(a OR=1.83,95%CI:1.26-2.65)were associated factors with the awareness of monkeypox knowledge among young students.Conclusion:Although junior college students concern about and have some understanding of monkeypox,their awareness rate of monkeypox knowledge is still not high.Monkeypox knowledge publicity and education should be implemented closely with HIV/AIDS health education,especially strengthening the warning education on monkeypox infection risk to improve the awareness of prevention and self-health monitoring among young students.
