BACKGROUND
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a novel infectious disease with no specific therapeutics and vaccines. We hypothesize that health education in vulnerable people would ameliorate their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding SFTS and reduce its prevalence.
METHODS
A four-stage cluster cross-section study in sixteen community units was performed. Sixteen groups were allocated to the intervention or control groups. A 6 months education program was administrated. The primary outcome was KAP scores 6 months after intervention. Predictors of KAP score changes were also analyzed.
RESULTS
Eight hundred and fifteen valid questionnaires pre-intervention and 767 ones post-intervention were retreated. No significant differences were found in demographic characteristics and KAP scores before intervention. A significant improvement in KAP score (16.8 ± 4.7 vs. 22.0 ± 4.2, < 0.001) in the intervention group was observed compare with the controls. Educational level and intervention program were the common predictors of KAP score changes.
CONCLUSIONS
Education improved KAP scores in SFTS vulnerable people which may contribute to the control of the disease.
背景
严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种新型传染病，目前尚无特效治疗药物和疫苗。我们假设对易感人群进行健康教育可以改善他们对 SFTS 的知识、态度和行为（KAP），从而降低其发病率。
方法
在 16 个社区单位进行了四阶段整群横断面研究。将 16 个组分配到干预组或对照组。实施了为期 6 个月的教育计划。主要结局是干预 6 个月后的 KAP 评分。还分析了 KAP 评分变化的预测因素。
结果
在干预前回收了 815 份有效问卷，干预后回收了 767 份。干预前，两组在人口统计学特征和 KAP 评分方面无显著差异。与对照组相比，干预组的 KAP 评分（16.8 ± 4.7 对 22.0 ± 4.2，<0.001）显著提高。教育程度和干预方案是 KAP 评分变化的共同预测因素。
结论
教育提高了 SFTS 易感人群的 KAP 评分，这可能有助于控制疾病。
