Abstract:
Objective To assess knowledge,attitudes,and practices(KAP)of guardians of preschool children with re-spiratory infections and evaluate the effect of health education.Methods This study enrolled 169 guardians of pediatric inpa-tients at a tertiary hospital and implemented integrated online and offline health education as an intervention.KAP related to re-spiratory infection prevention and control were assessed before and after the intervention using questionnaires.Changes in KAP scores and factors influencing the intervention's effectiveness were analyzed.Results Before health education,69.8％of guardians achieved a passing score on the knowledge assessment,indicating limited awareness of respiratory infections among guardians.After health education,94.1％of them achieved the passing score,with significant improvements across all dimen-sions of respiratory infection-related KAP,as well as in the total score,with statistically significant differences before and after the intervention(P＜0.05).Univariate analysis revealed that the difference in knowledge scores before and after the intervention was statistically significant among guardians of different ages(P＜0.05).Conclusion Health education enhances guardians'awareness,attitudes,and behaviors regarding the prevention and control of respiratory infections in preschool children,playing a crucial role in reducing respiratory infection rates and promoting children's health.
