Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the knowledge level, compliance, attitude and demand of parents of myopic children regarding prevention and control of myopia.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 642 children and their parents who visited the ophthalmology clinic of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from June to September 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were investigated with Self-made Questionnaire on Cognitive Behavior and Demand for Myopia Prevention and Control. A total of 642 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 638 were effectively received with effective recovery of 99.38% (638/642) .Results:The scores of knowledge, behavior and attitude of 638 parents in the cognitive behavior questionnaire for myopia prevention and control were 13 (11, 15) , 7 (6, 8) , 8 (8, 9) , respectively. 78.68% (502/638) of parents of myopic children thought that they were in great need of myopia prevention and control knowledge. 52.66% (336/638) of parents of myopic children preferred to obtain knowledge about prevention and control of myopia through face-to-face explanation by medical personnel.Conclusions:Parents of myopia children have poor knowledge of myopia prevention and control, and their compliance with prevention and control is at a moderate level. Most parents have a positive attitude towards myopia prevention and control, hoping to receive a reasonable and efficient new model of myopia prevention and control health education to improve their knowledge level, and to cooperate with medical institutions, schools, and the government to take corresponding myopia prevention and control intervention measures to reduce the incidence of high myopia and improve the visual health of myopia children.
