Abstract

Objective: To explore the behaviors related to infectious disease and family factors in primary and middle school students, and to provide evidence for improving behaviors related to infectious disease.

Methods: A total of 8465 students were randomly surveyed by a standard questionnaire of behaviors related to infectious disease. Chi-square test was used to analyze the influential factors for behaviors related to infectious disease, and non conditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the multiple factors.

Results: The total formation rate of behaviors related to infectious disease was 66.4%. The rates for primary and middle school students were 69.4% and 62.8% respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the following behaviors, such as washing hands before eating food, rarely buying snacks on outside stalls, informing teachers when showing infectious disease symptoms (all P<0.05), the degree for such behaviors in primary school students was higher than that in middle school students. There were also significant differences in the following behaviors, such as washing hands after using the toilet, blocking with a handkerchief, wiping while coughing and sneezing (all P<0.05), the degree for such behaviors in middle school students was higher than that in primary school students. Non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the behaviors related to infectious disease in primary and middle school students were associated with parents' education degree, mother's occupation and living status with parents.

Conclusion: Behaviors related to infectious disease in primary and middle school students need to be improved, and the formation of these behaviors may be related to many family factors.

目的:了解中小学生传染性疾病相关行为表现及其与家庭因素关系,为改善中小学生传染性疾病相关行为提供科学依据。方法:采用编制的传染性疾病相关行为问卷对随机选择的8 465名中小学生传染性疾病相关行为进行问卷调查,传染性疾病相关行为影响因素的单因素分析采用χ2检验,多因素分析采用非条件logistic回归分析。 结果:中小学生传染性疾病相关行为总形成率为66.4%,小学生和中学生的形成率分别为69.4%和62.8%,且差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。吃食物前洗手、不在校外小摊上购买小吃、出现传染性疾病症状告诉老师以及生病告知学校老师等行为,小学生的形成率高于中学生,而上完厕所后洗手以及咳嗽喷嚏时用手帕(纸巾)或者手遮挡等行为,中学生的形成率高于小学生,差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.05);非条件logistic回归分析结果显示:是否和父母居住、父亲文化、母亲文化、母亲职业等与中小学生传染性疾病相关行为有关。结论:中小学生传染性疾病相关行为形成率仍有待提高,且其形成与多种家庭因素有关。.
