前往疟疾疫区的出国劳工对疟疾相关知识、态度及行为调查

〔目的〕了解前往疟疾疫区的出国劳工对疟疾防治知识的知晓状况,为建立有效的疟疾宣传教育模式提供依据。〔方法〕对2009年6—11月到广东国际旅行卫生保健中心进行出国体检的265名前往疟疾疫区的劳工(不含船员)采用自行设计的问卷进行调查。〔结果〕前往疟疾疫区的劳工265人中初中及初中以下文化程度占46.7%,高中以上文化程度占37.9%。出国后将从事野外和户外工作占46.4%。有6.9%的人认为疟疾为非传染病,36.0%不清楚疟疾是否有传染性;仅49.4%知道蚊虫与疟疾相关;47.5%知道发热为疟疾的主要临床表现;仅22.9%的人知道目前常用的防疟方法是防蚊和携带紧急情况下使用的治疗药物,19.2%的人知道可口服药物进行疟疾预防。〔结论〕出国劳工对疟疾防治知识认识匮乏,在出国劳工中开展疟疾宣传教育活动是十分必要的。
