Abstract:
Objective To implement a two?level community?based health education pattern of schistosomiasis in residents of endemic areas in marshland and lake regions,so as to explore the suitable pattern of health education under hypo?endemic situa?tion. Methods Two schistosomiasis endemic villages in Jiangling County,Hubei Province were collected as study areas,and among which,one village was treated as an intervention group,where the two?level community?based health education pattern as well as regular control measures was implemented;the other village was a control group,where only regular control measures were implemented. The awareness rates on schistosomiasis control,the rates of correct behavior and the compliance rates of ex?amination,treatment and chemotherapy of the two groups before and after the intervention were compared. Results According to the results of the baseline survey in 2014,the awareness rates of schistosomiasis control of the intervention and control groups were 84.00%and 77.45%,respectively,the correct rates of behavior of the two groups were 72.00%and 63.73%,respectively, and the compliance rates of the treatment were 80.36%and 82.28%,respectively,there were no statistically significant differ? ences between all the above rates of the two groups(all P>0.05). After the intervention of the two?level community?based health education,the correct rates of behavior,and the compliance rates of examination and chemotherapy of the two groups were 92.31%and 80.37%,95.11%and 82.55%,84.13%and 63.64%,respectively,and the differences between all the rates above of the two groups were statistically significant(all P<0.05). When compared to those before intervention,the growing rates of the compliance rates of examination,treatment and chemotherapy of the intervention group were 20.97%,15.33%and 23.29%, respectively,while those of control group were 14.27%,4.17%,-3.77%,respectively,the growing rates of the intervention groups were higher than those of the control groups. Conclusions Through the two?level community?based pattern of health edu?cation,the compliance rates of examination and treatment of the residents have improved,and therefore,the pattern is suitable for popularization and application in marshland and lake regions.
