Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)of foodborne parasitic diseases among middle school students in Xuzhou City,so as to provide a reference to the health education. Methods A total of four middle schools were selected and their students were investigated with the basic information questionnaire and questions of food-borne parasitic diseases. Results The awareness rates of parasitic diseases,hazards and transmission were 56.50%,66.33%and 70.50%respectively. The awareness rates of transmission of the diseases in the senior high school students and urban students were higher than those in the junior middle school students and rural students(χ2 =8.684,8.470,both P<0.05). The forma-tion rates of not drinking raw water and not eating raw food were higher among the female students than those among the male stu-dents(χ2 =7.675,15.230,both P<0.05). The formation rate of not eating raw food was higher among the senior high school students than that among the junior middle school students(χ2 =49.276,P<0.001),and the formation rates of washing hands before meals and not keeping pets were higher among the urban students than those among the rural students (χ2 = 5.833, 13.443,both P<0.05). Totally 64.83%of the students would not eat food that might be infected with foodborne parasites,and the proportion of girls was higher than that of the boys(χ2 =11.690,P<0.05),and 20.5%of the students would suggest others not eating food that might be infected with foodborne parasites,and 81%of the students would plan to get rid of bad habits. Con-clusion The cognition of foodborne parasitic diseases is poor among the middle school students in Xuzhou City. The health edu-cation work on foodborne parasitic diseases should be strengthened.
