Abstract:

Objective To understand the current situation of schistosomiasis health education in the area where schistosomiasis transmission has been interrupted, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the health education strategies in Wuxi City. Methods Face to face interviews and a professional designed questionnaire were used to collect the information of the current schistosomiasis health education and investigate the awareness of schistosomiasis knowledge in primary and middle schools and in communities. Results The total awareness rate of schistosomiasis knowledge was 87.7% among 873 students and the figure was 83.0% among 693 community residents. The students who studied in the schools with more than 1 class hour of schistosomiasis health education, completed schistosomiasis health education material or teaching plan, and implementing health education through multiple ways had higher knowledge awareness rates compared with the schools without ([χ2]=291.408, 709.622, 13.751, all P<0.001). The residents living in the communities with schistosomiasis health education through broadcast/TV or square propaganda had a higher knowledge awareness rate compared with the communities without ([χ2]=90.772, 47.436, all P<0.001). Conclusion There are low awareness rates of schistosomiasis knowledge among both students and community residents in Wuxi City. Therefore, the schistosomiasis control health education should be strengthened.
