摘要
目的:了解2023年云南省隆陵县居民对恙虫病防治的知识、态度和行为(KAP),并分析影响因素,为该县恙虫病防治提供参考。方法:于2023年7月在云南省宝山市龙陵县随机抽取2个乡镇,每个乡镇随机抽取2 ~ 3个行政村。然后在每个村随机抽取20 ~ 40户,每户调查1 ~ 2名村民。调查居民对恙虫病防治的知晓度,采用独立样本t检验或方差分析(ANOVA)和多元线性回归分析确定居民对恙虫病防治知晓度的影响因素。结果:共发放问卷417份,回收有效问卷410份,有效回收率为98.32%。65.85%(270/410)的人听说过恙虫病但不熟悉,12.68%(52/410)的人熟悉恙虫病,1.95%(8/410)的人非常熟悉恙虫病。居民主要通过亲友获取恙虫病防治知识。调查对象对恙虫病的知识、态度和行为得分分别为(34.14±13.07)分、(55.04±6.69)分和(21.40±5.61)分,对恙虫病防治的知识、信念和行为总分为(110.57±18.80)分。单因素分析显示,年龄(F = 3.12, P < 0.05)、文化程度(F = 10.77, P < 0.05)、职业(F = 4.89, P < 0.05)、户外活动频率(F = 3.61, P < 0.05)、居住地类型(t = 1.33, P < 0.05)是影响恙虫病防治知识得分的因素。多元线性回归分析显示,居民文化水平(β = 10.20 ~ 16.71, P < 0.05)和居住类型(β = -7.23, P < 0.05)是影响居民对恙虫病知识和信任行为现状的因素。结论:居住地和文化程度是影响云南省隆陵县居民恙虫病防治的关键因素。对生活在城市地区的受教育程度低、户外活动频繁的居民,需要加强有关控制恙虫病和适当行为干预的健康教育。
[Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards scrub typhus control and associated influencing factors among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province in 2023].
Objective: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards scrub typhus control and analyse the influencing factors among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province in 2023, so as to provide insights into management of scrub typhus in the county.
Methods: Two townships were randomly sampled from Longling County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in July 2023, and 2 to 3 administrative villages were randomly selected from each township. Then, 20 to 40 households were randomly selected from each village, and 1 to 2 villagers were surveyed in each household. Residents' KAP towards scrub typhus control was investigated, and factor affecting residents' KAP towards scrub typhus control were identified with independent samples t test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: A total of 417 questionnaires were allocated, and 410 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.32%. Of all respondents, 65.85% (270/410) heard of scrub typhus but were not familiar with it, and 12.68% (52/410) and 1.95% (8/410) were familiar and very familiar with it, respectively. Residents mainly acquired scrub typhus control knowledge via their relatives and friends. The knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores of the respondents with regard to scrub typhus were (34.14 ± 13.07), (55.04 ± 6.69), and (21.40 ± 5.61), respectively, and the total score for knowledge, belief, and behavior in relation to scrub typhus prevention and control was (110.57 ± 18.80). Univariate analysis revealed that age (F = 3.12, P < 0.05), education (F = 10.77, P < 0.05), occupation (F = 4.89, P < 0.05), frequency of outdoor activities (F = 3.61, P < 0.05), and type of place of residence (t = 1.33, P < 0.05) were the factors that influenced the participants' scores for knowledge of the prevention and control of scrub typhus. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that literacy level (β = 10.20 to 16.71, P < 0.05) and category of residence (β = -7.23, P < 0.05) were the factors that influenced residents' current knowledge and trust behavior in relation to scrub typhus.
Conclusions: Place of residence and educational level are critical factors affecting scrub typhus control among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province. Intensified health education pertaining to scrub typhus control and appropriate behavioral interventions are required among residents living in urban areas, with a low educational level and frequent outdoor activities.
