It is well-known that public health education plays a crucial role in the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases, but how health providers should advise families and parents to obtain health education information is a challenging question. With coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreading around the world, this rapid review aims to answer that question and thus to promote evidence-based decision making in health education policy and practice.
We systematically searched the literature on health education during COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS) epidemics in Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data from their inception until March 31, 2020. The potential bias of the studies was assessed by Joanna Briggs Institute Prevalence Critical Appraisal Tool.
Of 1,067 papers found, 24 cross-sectional studies with a total of 35,967 participants were included in this review. The general public lacked good knowledge of SARS and MERS at the early stage of epidemics. Some people's knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of COVID-19 had been improved, but the health behaviors of some special groups including children and their parents need to be strengthened. Negative emotions including fear and stigmatization occurred during the outbreaks. Reliable health information was needed to improve public awareness and mental health for infectious diseases. Health information from nonprofit, government and academic websites was more accurate than privately owned commercial websites and media websites.
For educating and cultivating children, parents should obtain information from the official websites of authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and national Centers for Disease Control, or from other sources endorsed by these authorities, rather than from a general search of the internet or social media.
众所周知，公共卫生教育在新发传染病的预防和控制中起着至关重要的作用，但卫生工作者应如何建议家庭和家长获取健康教育信息是一个具有挑战性的问题。随着2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）在全球蔓延，本快速综述旨在回答该问题，从而促进健康教育政策和实践中的循证决策。
我们在Medline（通过PubMed）、Cochrane图书馆、EMBASE、科学网、中国生物医学文献数据库（CBM）、中国知网（CNKI）和万方数据中系统检索了自数据库建立至2020年3月31日期间关于COVID-19、严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）和中东呼吸综合征（MERS）疫情期间健康教育的文献。采用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所患病率批判性评价工具评估研究的潜在偏倚。
在检索到的1067篇论文中，本综述纳入了24项横断面研究，共有35967名参与者。在疫情早期，公众对SARS和MERS的了解不足。一些人对COVID-19的知识、态度和行为（KAP）有所改善，但包括儿童及其家长在内的一些特殊群体的健康行为仍需加强。疫情期间出现了包括恐惧和污名化在内的负面情绪。需要可靠的健康信息来提高公众对传染病的认识和心理健康。来自非营利性、政府和学术网站的健康信息比私营商业网站和媒体网站更准确。
为了教育和培养儿童，家长应从世界卫生组织（WHO）和国家疾病控制中心等官方网站或这些机构认可的其他来源获取信息，而不是通过在互联网或社交媒体上进行一般性搜索。
