To understand the knowledge and practice on schistosomiasis control of boatmen along the Yangtze River, so as to provide the evidence for making up schistosomiasis control measures for them.
In the anchor spots along the Yangtze River in Xinbei District, Changzhou City, a questionnaire survey was carried out for boatmen's knowledge and practice on schistosomiasis control. Among the boatmen of different genders, ages and education levels, the awareness rates of schistosomiasis control knowledge and the formation rates of correct behavior were compared.
A total of 702 boatmen of 231 boats were surveyed. The total awareness rate of schistosomiasis control knowledge was 84.19%. Among the groups with different education levels, the awareness rates were significantly different (chi2 =14.42, P < 0.05). The total formation rate of correct behavior on schistosomiasis control was 43.16%. Between men and women groups, and among groups with different ages, the formation rates were significantly different (chi2 = 21.95, 15.00, P < 0.05 for all). Totally 94.81% of the boats discharged the excrement into water directly.
The formation rate of correct behavior on schistosomiasis control of boatmen was low, thus the health promotion should be enhanced for them.
了解长江船民血吸虫病防治知识和行为情况,为制定针对船民的血吸虫病防治措施提供依据。
在常州市新北区长江沿线停泊点,对船民血吸虫病防治知识和行为进行问卷调查。比较不同性别、年龄、文化程度船民血吸虫病防治知识知晓率和正确行为形成率。
共调查231艘船的702名船民。血吸虫病防治知识总知晓率为84.19%。不同文化程度组间知晓率差异有统计学意义(χ2 =14.42,P < 0.05)。血吸虫病防治正确行为总形成率为43.16%。男女组间及不同年龄组间形成率差异有统计学意义(χ2分别为21.95、15.00,P均< 0.05)。共94.81%的船只直接向水中排放粪便。
船民血吸虫病防治正确行为形成率低,应加强对其健康促进工作。
