The purpose of this study was to determine the level of awareness of genital Chlamydia infection and level of knowledge related to this infection in family planning (FP) clinic attenders. Clients attending FP clinics during a 3 month study period were invited to complete an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. Five hundred and sixteen questionnaires from female attenders were analysed. Results showed that 54% of respondents had heard of Chlamydia. Subjective knowledge assessment for Chlamydia was low compared to that for other infections. Mean knowledge scores relating to genital chlamydial infection were low. There was no significant age-related trend in knowledge scores. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to increased Chlamydia screening activity in FP clinics.
本研究的目的是确定计划生育（FP）门诊就诊者对生殖器官衣原体感染的知晓水平以及与该感染相关的知识水平。在为期3个月的研究期间，邀请到FP门诊就诊的患者填写一份匿名的自填式问卷。对516份女性就诊者的问卷进行了分析。结果显示，54%的受访者听说过衣原体。与其他感染相比，对衣原体的主观知识评估较低。与生殖器官衣原体感染相关的平均知识得分较低。知识得分没有明显的与年龄相关的趋势。结合FP门诊衣原体筛查活动的增加，对这些发现的影响进行了讨论。
