北京市郊区老年人传染病相关知识、行为和技能现状

目的了解北京市郊区老年人传染病相关知识水平、行为习惯和技能掌握情况,为在郊区老年人中开展传染病健康教育提供科学依据。方法采用多阶段整群系统抽样,选取1 335名60岁及以上老年人作为调查对象。使用自行设计的"北京市居民传染病健康素养调查问卷"对其传染病相关的知识水平、行为习惯和技能掌握现状进行调查。结果 "发热的定义"、"甲肝传播途径"、"乙肝传播途径"、"艾滋病传播途径"等知识的知晓率均低于35.4%;"到发热门诊戴口罩"、"涮肉时,用专用筷子夹肉"、"2010年注射流感疫苗"等行为的形成率均低于47.2%;五项技能的掌握率均低于53.2%。多数老年人传染病相关知识知晓率、行为具有率以及技能掌握率都随着文化程度增加而增加(P<0.05);但"2010年注射流感疫苗"的行为具有率有随着文化程度增加而降低的趋势(P<0.05)。结论当前北京郊区老年人(尤其是文化程度较低的老年人)传染病相关知识的知晓率、行为具有率和技能掌握率仍较低,因此应加强老年人传染病相关知识健康教育,培养其良好的生活习惯,提高其传染病防控技能。
