We aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) among Hajj pilgrims before and after an education health programme during international vaccine consultations in France.
A cross-sectional study was performed in the consultation for travel medicine and international vaccination in Reims University Hospital between July 2014 and October 2015.
Consecutive adults (>18 years old) who attended for pre-Hajj meningococcal vaccination were eligible to complete an anonymous questionnaire with closed answers to evaluate their level of knowledge about MERS-CoV. To evaluate the effectiveness of the information given during the consultation, the same questionnaire was completed by the Hajj pilgrim before and after the consultation, where the information about MERS-CoV was provided.
Among 82 Hajj pilgrim adults enrolled in the study, less than 25% were aware of the routes of transmission, symptoms and preventive behaviours to adopt abroad or in case of fever. Pilgrims had a higher rate of correct responses on each question at the time they completed the second questionnaire, as compared with the first, with 11 of 13 questions answered significantly better after delivery of educational information about MERS-CoV. However, although the rate of correct answers to the questions about routes of transmission, symptoms, preventive behaviours to adopt in case of fever and time delay between return and potential MERS-CoV occurrence increased significantly after receiving the information, the rates remained below 50%.
Information given during travel consultations significantly increases the general level of knowledge, but not enough to achieve epidemic control.
我们旨在评估在法国国际疫苗咨询期间，在教育卫生计划前后，朝觐朝圣者对中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）的了解程度。
在兰斯大学医院的旅行医学和国际疫苗接种咨询中，于 2014 年 7 月至 2015 年 10 月进行了一项横断面研究。
连续成年（>18 岁）接受预防接种流脑疫苗的人，符合条件可完成一份带有封闭答案的匿名问卷，以评估他们对 MERS-CoV 的了解程度。为了评估咨询期间提供的信息的有效性，朝圣者在咨询前后完成了相同的问卷，其中提供了有关 MERS-CoV 的信息。
在 82 名入组研究的成年朝觐朝圣者中，不到 25%的人了解传播途径、症状和在国外或发热时采取的预防行为。朝圣者在第二次问卷中每题的正确答案率均高于第一次，其中 11 个问题的答案在提供 MERS-CoV 教育信息后明显更好。然而，尽管有关传播途径、症状、发热时采取的预防行为以及返回和潜在 MERS-CoV 发生之间的时间延迟的问题的正确答案率在收到信息后显著增加，但仍低于 50%。
旅行咨询中提供的信息显著提高了一般知识水平，但不足以实现疫情控制。
