Methods The knowledge,attitude and values on schistosomiasis control of 523 chronic schistosomiasis patients in Nanchang County,Jinxian County and Xinjian District in the Poyang Lake District were investigated with questionnaires. And the accuracy rates of the knowledge,attitude and practice among the patient groups of different counties,genders,age groups,occupations and educational levels were analyzed. Results The accuracy rates of the knowledge,attitude and practice of patients on schistosomiasis control were 95.76%,82.80%,and 81.73% in Nanchang County;91.37%,93.32%,and 76.48%in Jinxian County;88.25%,67.56%,and 49.40%in Xinjian District. In the accuracy rates of knowledge,attitude and practice,the differences among the three counties (districts) were statistically significant (χ2=57.511-301.378,all P<0.05). Conclusions The accuracy rates of chronic schistosomiasis patients'attitude and prac-tice on schistosomiasis control in Nanchang City remain low. Therefore,the intensity of attitude and practice intervention should be strengthened in the Poyang Lake District in order to enhance the self-protection awareness of the patients.
