Abstract:

Objective To understand the knowledge and practice on schistosomiasis control of boatmen along the Yangtze River，so as to provide the evidence for making up schistosomiasis control measures for them. Methods In the anchor spots along the Yangtze River in Xinbei District，Changzhou City，a questionnaire survey was carried out for boatmen’ s knowledge and prac? tice on schistosomiasis control. Among the boatmen of different genders，ages and education levels，the awareness rates of schisto? somiasis control knowledge and the formation rates of correct behavior were compared. Results A total of 702 boatmen of 231 boats were surveyed. The total awareness rate of schistosomiasis control knowledge was 84.19%. Among the groups with different education levels，the awareness rates were significantly different（χ2 =14.42，P < 0.05） . The total formation rate of correct behav? ior on schistosomiasis control was 43.16%. Between men and women groups，and among groups with different ages，the formation rates were significantly different（χ2 =21.95，15.00，P < 0.05 for all） . Totally 94.81% of the boats discharged the excrement into water directly. Conclusion The formation rate of correct behavior on schistosomiasis control of boatmen was low，thus the health promotion should be enhanced for them.
