Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of knowledge,attitude and behavior of schistosomiasis control of rural resi-dents in Wanjiang River region after a flood,so as to provide the reference for targeted health education. Methods The multi-stage sampling was applied to select the respondents in rural residents in Wanjiang River region,and the self-designed question-naire was used to investigate the current situation of knowledge,attitude and behavior of schistosomiasis prevention and control of the rural residents. Results The total awareness rate of knowledge about the prevention and control of schistosomiasis was 47.92%. The age,education,family income,relatives and friends with medical background,and health education significantly influenced the awareness rate(χ2=12.76,89.19,18.19,50.83 and 92.60 respectively,all P<0.05). The accuracy rates of at-titude and behavior in schistosomiasis control were 62.89%and 52.37%respectively. Conclusion The awareness rate of knowl-edge about the prevention and control of schistosomiasis,and the accuracy rates of attitude and behavior in schistosomiasis con-trol of the rural residents in Wanjiang River region are all inefficient,and therefore,the targeted health education should be strengthened to decrease the risk of schistosomiasis transmission.
