This study aimed to determine the prevalence of optimal cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening activities and the associated factors among apparently healthy school teachers.
A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted among 380 secondary school teachers in Kelantan, Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire addressing sociodemographic data and factors influencing CVD screening activities was administered. Descriptive analysis, simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed.
A total of 348 teachers responded to the questionnaire, with a response rate of 91.6%. The prevalence of optimal CVD screening activities was 29.3% (95% CI: 24.52, 34.08). Age, knowledge of CVD screening, family history of CVD and availability of health facilities were significantly linked to CVD screening.
The prevalence of optimal screening activities was low. A great majority of the factors contributing to optimal screening were modifiable. Health care providers should widely implement global health-oriented rather than disease-orientated assessment in their daily practice.
本研究旨在确定明显健康的学校教师中最佳心血管疾病(CVD)筛查活动的患病率及其相关因素。
在马来西亚吉兰丹州的380名中学教师中进行了一项横断面分析观察性研究。采用自行填写的问卷,询问社会人口统计学数据和影响CVD筛查活动的因素。进行了描述性分析、简单和多元逻辑回归分析。
共有348名教师回复了问卷,回复率为91.6%。最佳CVD筛查活动的患病率为29.3%(95%CI:24.52,34.08)。年龄、CVD筛查知识、CVD家族史和卫生设施的可及性与CVD筛查显著相关。
最佳筛查活动的患病率较低。促成最佳筛查的绝大多数因素是可改变的。医疗保健提供者应在日常实践中广泛实施以全球健康为导向而非以疾病为导向的评估。
