健康教育对寄生虫病防治的影响

目的 了解医学院校新生对常见寄生虫病预防的知识、态度、信念、行为（knowledge、attitude、belief、practice，KABP）情况，探讨健康教育的重要性，为进一步搞好人体寄生虫学教学提供依据。方法参照有关KABP调查标准，对贵阳医学院2005级新生采取无记名问卷调查。结果大学前开设健康教育课的占80．54％：开设寄生虫病健康教育课的占41．83％；学生的寄生虫病防治知识平均知晓率13项中有8项在50％以下：态度、信念、健康教育开设形成率14项有6项在50％以下；行为形成率13项有2项在50％以下。结论我国许多中小学对寄生虫病防治的健康教育重视程度不够，教学效果不理想。加强学校、家庭、社区、媒体等各层次的健康教育，改进医学院校学生的寄生虫学教学是十分必要的。
