Abstract:
Objective:To study the current situation and influencing factors of the ability of grassroots personnel involved in prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis based on a feasible ability theory.Methods:A self-developed evaluation tool was used to assess the ability of grassroots personnel involved in prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis. A questionnaire survey was conducted in 2024 via the Wenjuanxing platform to evaluate the current status of their ability and scores. A multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze the factors affecting the ability of these personnel.Results:A total of 2 879 questionnaires were collected, of which 2 751 were valid, with a validity rate of 95.55%. Among the valid questionnaires, 917 (33.33%) were filled out by personnel from the endemic areas. The overall ability score of grassroots personnel was (14.74 ± 2.56) points, with welfare scoring (3.45 ± 0.62) points, autonomy scoring (3.57 ± 0.89) points, subjectivity scoring (3.81 ± 0.69) points, and achievement scoring (3.79 ± 0.69) points. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that income and employment type were associated with the ability scores of grassroots personnel ( OR = 0.61, 1.31, 95% CI: 0.45 - 0.94, 0.89 - 1.94, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The ability of grassroots personnel involved in prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis is at a moderate level, and there is still room for improvement. Income and employment type are the main factors affecting their ability scores. Efforts should be made to improve salary and welfare benefits, refine professional title promotion mechanism, attract high-level talent, and enhance personnel stability, thus more effectively enhance the ability of grassroots personnel in prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis.
