Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of risk management on cluster infectious disease prevention and control in schools, and to provide a scientific basis for the further development of its methods and strategies.
Methods:A two year risk management program of cluster infectious disease control and prevention in 92 schools was carried out in urban area of Jingzhou. In the process of intervention, comprehensive measures were implemented, such as improving organizational management and rules, strengthening routine hygiene management, supervising the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures, increasing training and guidance. On site investigation was conducted to evaluate the risk management effects before and after the risk management, with the other 7 counties of Jingzhou having got no risk management chosen as the control group.
Results:Through two-year risk management, the implementation rate covering all aspects regarding cluster infectious disease prevention and control were 6.5-45.7 percentage point higher than that before. The proportion of low and medium risk school increased by 19.6 and 5.4 percentage point, respectively, while the proportion of high risk schools decreased by 25.0 percentage point(Z=7.41, P<0.01). The annual incidence of clustered infectious diseases in 92 schools decreased by 23.9 percentage point. Compared with other counties in Jingzhou City, the trend of decline was significant(χ 2=18.17, P<0.01).
Conclusion:Risk management can effectively improve the implementation rate of prevention and control measures regarding epidemic disease in schools, reduce risk severity, and decrease the incidence of cluster infectious diseases.
