Abstract:
Objective To study current status of health education and explore its pattern in community health-care service(CHS)in Shanghai.Methods A total of 200 health-care workers(HCWs)from five CHS centers in Shanghai were investigated by questionnaire of health education knowledge.Results Among 200 HCWs investigated,96.5%(193/200)of them have recognized importance of health education,98.0%(196/200)could undertake health education in their clinical work,only 60.5%(121/200)had receired regular training on it,and 85.5%(171/200)thought they should be further trained regularly.Correct awareness of knowledge was 94.O%.47.0%and 33.6%for health education perception,healthy life-style and health education knowledge for chronic disease.respectively in them.There was very significant difference in correct awareness of knowledge between HCWs with varied ages and districts(χ2=17.663 and 82.376,P=0.001 and 0.000,respectively),but no significant difierence was found between men and women and those with varied professional titles(χ2=0.015 and 2.406,P=0.903 and 0.300.respectively).Short of time(48.5%),lack of relevant knowledge(15.0%)in HCWs and poor compliance of patients(33.0%)were main factors influencing their implementation of health education.Conclusions HCWs in CHS have already recognized importance of health education.but have not known enough its theoretical knowledge and skills.It is necessary to set guidelines of health education intervention for HCWs in CHS,and perfect monitoring and evaluation.as well as mechanism for rewards and penalties to promote development of health education in CHS.
