The purpose of this study was to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of university students in China regarding the need for PARI and public health education.
A cross-sectional online and offline survey was conducted in China website through Wenjuanxing and in different cities such as Changsha Hunan Province, Shanghai, Chongqing and in different public scenarios, such as hospitals, universities, and commercial venues between September 1 and September 7, 2023, using a 28-question questionnaire designed and reviewed by multidisciplinary experts.
A total of 4,096 respondents were recruited for this study, with 3,957 valid questionnaires. The mean knowledge score was 1.84 ± 0.52, the mean attitude score was 2.12 ± 0.51, and the mean practice score was 3.18 ± 0.55. Regression analyses found that: region, grade, school, and weekly anaerobic exercise time were influences on the knowledge score; region, grade, school, and weekly anaerobic exercise time were influences on the attitude score; region, grade, school attended, weekly anaerobic exercise time and weekly anaerobic exercise time as influences on the practice score. Subgroup analyses revealed that undergraduates from southern regions and 985 schools had higher knowledge attitude scores and lower practice scores. As the grade level increased, the knowledge and attitude scores showed a V-shaped trend and the behavior scores showed an inverted V-shaped trend. Correlation analysis found a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores, and a negative correlation between both and behavior, respectively. The public health education needs survey found that undergraduate students generally preferred guided instruction methods and content centered on the RICE principles, they preferred learning through books and pamphlets, and they were happy to see relevant content promoted in the campus environment.
This study shows that Chinese undergraduate students have less knowledge, neutral attitudes, and good behaviors regarding PARI prevention. Special attention should be paid to meeting the needs of undergraduate students for public health education to equip them with relevant knowledge so that they can better behave in PARI prevention.
本研究旨在评估中国大学生对 PARI 需求和公共卫生教育的知识、态度和实践（KAP）水平。
2023 年 9 月 1 日至 9 月 7 日，通过问卷星网站在线和线下在湖南长沙、上海、重庆等不同城市，以及医院、大学、商业场所等不同公共场景进行横断面调查，使用由多学科专家设计和审查的 28 个问题问卷。
共招募了 4096 名受访者，其中 3957 份有效问卷。知识得分的平均值为 1.84±0.52，态度得分的平均值为 2.12±0.51，实践得分的平均值为 3.18±0.55。回归分析发现，地区、年级、学校和每周无氧运动时间影响知识得分；地区、年级、学校和每周无氧运动时间影响态度得分；地区、年级、学校、每周无氧运动时间和每周无氧运动时间影响实践得分。亚组分析显示，来自南方地区和 985 学校的本科生具有较高的知识、态度得分和较低的实践得分。随着年级的升高，知识和态度得分呈 V 形趋势，行为得分呈倒 V 形趋势。相关性分析发现，知识和态度得分之间呈正相关，而知识和态度得分与行为得分之间呈负相关。公共卫生教育需求调查发现，本科生普遍喜欢以 RICE 原则为中心的指导式教学方法和内容，喜欢通过书籍和小册子学习，愿意在校园环境中看到相关内容的推广。
本研究表明，中国本科生对 PARI 预防的知识较少，态度中立，行为良好。应特别关注满足本科生对公共卫生教育的需求，使他们具备相关知识，以便更好地预防 PARI。
