Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect and benefit of health education on schistosomiasis control in primary and secondary schools in Jingzhou from 2004 to 2018. Methods A retrospective survey and an on-site questionnaire investigation were used to collect data on schistosomiasis health education in primary and secondary schools in Jingzhou from 2004 to 2018, and to evaluate the modes and effects of health education. The unit benefit analysis was used to evaluate the benefit of health education investment. Results The awareness rate of schistosomiasis control knowledge and the correct behavior formation rate in 2018 reached 98.68% and 98.31%, respectively, which were statistically significantly different compared with 87.65%% and 88.08%, respectively, in 2004 (F=8.57, 6.59, P<0.01). According to the questionnaire survey in 2018, the overall correct rates of schistosomiasis knowledge awareness and correct behavior formation were 97.79% and 96.54% for primary school students and 98.37% and 96.65% for junior high school students, respectively. Among the 10 health education modes, the students' interest rates of attending unified classes, recitation of the Three Character Classic of schistosomiasis control, and audio-visual education were 94.04%, 93.57% and 88.28%, respectively. The awareness rate of students' schistosomiasis control knowledge and the rate of correct behavior formation were negatively correlated with the rate of schistosomiasis infection (R2=-0.85, -0.84, P<0.01). In terms of total funding, students were 3.05 yuan/person/time lower than residents. Conclusion From 2004 to 2018, primary and secondary schools in Jingzhou implemented schistosomiasis health education and health promotion. On the basis of reduction in the total funding, students’ knowledge of schistosomiasis prevention and correct behavior formation were effectively increased, and the rate of schistosomiasis infection was reduced to zero. Therefore, changing the dangerous behavior of the target population through schistosomiasis health education is an important measure to control and stop the prevalence of schistosomiasis.
