摘要

目的:蛇咬伤仍然是许多热带国家的公共卫生威胁。虽然需要社区对当地蛇和蛇咬伤急救和预防的知识,以减少蛇咬伤的发生率和改善蛇咬伤患者的预后,但在许多社区,这方面的知识很差。我们评估了马拉维尼诺县社区卫生工作者和社区成员对当地蛇、蛇咬伤急救和预防的知识。方法:2022年11月,我们对马拉维尼奥区的312名社区卫生工作者和379名社区成员进行了横断面调查,以评估他们对蛇的识别、蛇咬伤急救和预防的知识。在这些部分中提出了不同的问题,并总结为0%到100%的线性分数。0 -49%、50 -70%和50 -70%分别被认为不充分、相当充分和充分。除了在知识评估期间收集的数据外,还收集了参与者的社会人口特征。为了评估社区卫生工作者和社区成员之间的知识差异,使用Pearson卡方检验或Fisher精确检验,并计算线性回归来调查知识的可能预测因素。结果:总体而言,66.6%的参与者为女性,中位年龄为39岁(IQR = 30-48)岁。在同意看蛇图片的89% (n = 615)中,只有1.3%的人有足够的蛇识别知识。少于5% (n = 33)的人对急救措施有足够的知识,14.3% (n = 99)的人对预防措施有足够的知识。总体而言,不到1% (n = 3)的人对三个评估部分有足够的了解,社区卫生工作者(n = 1,0.3%)和社区成员(n = 2,0.5%)之间没有显著差异(p > 0.949)。结论:社区卫生工作者和社区成员对当地蛇的种类、蛇咬伤的急救和预防措施的认识不足。可以探讨提高认识运动和其他教育倡议的效果,以帮助改善这些差距。

Knowledge of local snakes, first-aid and prevention of snakebites among community health workers and community members in rural Malawi: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: Snakebite envenoming remains a public health threat in many tropical countries. While community knowledge of local snakes and snakebite first-aid and prevention are needed to reduce snakebite incidence and improve the outcomes for snakebite patients, it is poor in many communities. We assessed community health workers and community members regarding their knowledge on local snakes, snakebite first-aid and prevention in Neno district, Malawi.

Methods: In November 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among 312 community health workers and 379 community members in the Neno District of Malawi to assess their knowledge of snake identification, snakebite first-aid, and prevention. Different questions were asked in these sections and summarised as linear scores ranging from 0% to 100%. Scores of 0%-49%, 50%-70%, and >70% were considered inadequate, fairly adequate, and adequate, respectively. Along with data collected during knowledge assessments, the socio-demographic characteristics of participants were collected. To assess knowledge differences between community health workers and community members, Pearson's chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were used, and linear regression was calculated to investigate possible predictors of knowledge.

Results: Overall, 66.6% of participants were females with a median age of 39 (IQR = 30-48) years. Of the 89% (n = 615) who agreed to view snake pictures, only 1.3% had adequate snake identification knowledge. Less than 5% (n = 33) had adequate knowledge of first aid measures, and 14.3% (n = 99) had adequate knowledge of prevention practices. Overall, less than 1% (n = 3) had adequate knowledge across the three assessment sections, with no significant difference between community health workers (n = 1, 0.3%) and community members (n = 2, 0.5%) (p > 0.949).

Conclusion: Both community health workers and community members had inadequate knowledge regarding local snake species, first aid for snakebites and prevention measures. The effect of awareness campaigns and other education initiatives could be explored to help improve these gaps.
