ABSTRACT
Objective@#To observe the incidence of unreasonable use of high beam at nighttime among motor vehicle drivers, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of road traffic injury. @*Methods@#Four roads into city and five urban roads were selected in Yongkang of Zhejiang Province. An automatic recording system was used to collect the unreasonable use of high beam among motor vehicle drivers on the selected roads from 19:00 to 5:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday during a week in July 2020. The regression tree model was used to analyze the relationship of the unreasonable use of high beam with road, time and traffic flow. @*Results@# A total of 89 989 motor vehicles were observed, and 2 419 motor vehicle drivers had unreasonable use of high beam, with an incidence rate of 2.69%. The incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam was 3.14% in the roads into city, which was higher than 2.30% in the urban roads ( P<0.05 ). The incidence rates of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city and in the urban roads were 5.15% and 2.90% on Wednesday, which were higher than those on Monday ( 2.89% and 2.34% ), Friday ( 2.90% and 1.92% ) and Sunday (2.06% and 2.12%). The highest incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city was 6.07% between 4:00 and 5:00, and in the urban roads was 4.50% between 2:00 and 3:00. The results of regression tree classification analysis showed that the highest incidence rate was 8.13% on the roads into city in the east, west and south directions, and on the urban roads in the east and north directions with less than 317 vehicles per hour on Wednesday. @*Conclusion@#It is more likely for motor vehicle drivers to use high beams unreasonably at nighttime on the roads into city with less traffic flow.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To learn the willingness and influencing factors of influenza vaccination among the community managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District, Shaoxing, so as to provide the basis for influenza vaccination promotion.@*Methods@#A self-compiled questionnaire survey was conducted from October to December 2017 among all the managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District. The contents of questionnaire included the basic information of the respondents, awareness of influenza vaccine, vaccination status and vaccination intention. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the willingness of influenza vaccination.@*Results@#A total of 15 060 questionnaires were sent out and 13 781 valid ones were retrieved, the response rate was 91.51%. There were 3 888 patients with the awareness of influenza vaccine, accounting for 28.21%; 4 259 patients with the willingness to be vaccinated, accounting for 30.90%; 630 previously-vaccinated patients, accounting for 4.57%. The patients who were female (OR=1.157, 95%CI: 1.064-1.258) , were married (OR=1.242, 95%CI:1.107-1.393), were with other chronic diseases (OR=1.199, 95%CI: 1.103-1.303) , believed diabetic patients were more susceptible to influenza (OR=1.251, 95%CI: 1.102-1.419) , believed influenza aggravate diabetes status (OR=1.640, 95%CI: 1.445-1.860) , believed that the vaccination effectively prevent influenza (OR=3.129, 95%CI: 2.866-3.416) , knew about influenza vaccine (OR=1.111, 95%CI: 1.105-1.216) and ever received influenza vaccination (OR=1.316, 95%CI: 1.103-1.570) were more willing to be vaccinated.@*Conclusions@#The willingness of influenza vaccination among the community managed diabetic patients in Keqiao District is low. The patients＇gender, married status, other chronic diseases, awareness of influenza vaccine and the history of vaccination can affect the willingness of influenza vaccination.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the pedestrian traffic safety behaviors of primary and secondary school students in Xiacheng District of Hangzhou,and to provide reference for formulating traffic safety strategy. @*Methods@# In October 2015,nine campuses of six schools in Xiacheng District were selected to observe the pedestrian traffic safety behaviors of the primary and secondary school students walking to and from school,such as taking the zebra crossing,observing the traffic condition,running and playing with cellphones when walking across the road.@*Results@#Totally 2 585 students were investigated,and 2 580 students were valid（99.81%）. When walking across the road,1 887 people took the zebra crossing,accounting for 73.14%;71.89% of boys and 74.51% of girls took the zebra crossing,and there was no significant difference（P>0.05）;64.76% and 81.32% of the students took the zebra crossing on the way to school and home,with a significant difference（P<0.05）. When walking across the road,1 683 students people observed the traffic conditions,accounting for 65.23%;63.61% of boys and 67.02% of girls observed the traffic conditions,and there was no significant difference（P>0.05）;64.05% and 66.39% of the students observed the traffic conditions on the way to school and home,with a significant difference（P<0.05）.There were 362 students running across the road, accounting for 14.03%;15.31% of boys and 12.62% of girls ran across the road,and there was no significant difference（P>0.05）;9.26% and 18.68% of the students ran across the road on the way to school and home,with a significant difference（P<0.05）. There were 53 students playing with cellphones when crossing the road,accounting for 2.05%;2.29% of boys and 1.79% of girls played with cellphones,and there was no significant difference（P>0.05）;1.41% and 2.68% of the students played with cellphones on the way to school and home,with a significant difference（P<0.05）. @*Conclusions @#Primary and secondary school students have dangerous behaviors when walking across the road. We should focus on the intervention of not taking the zebra crossing and not observing traffic conditions when crossing the road on the way to school,and playing with cellphones on the way home.
