ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the influencing factors of tuberculosis related health behaviors among college freshmen with health belief model, so as to provide a scientific basis for the intervention of health behaviors among students.Methods:From January to February 2021, the questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 254 college freshmen from 11 universities.The survey included general demographic data, tuberculosis related health behaviors, and tuberculosis related knowledge, disease threat perception and disease policy cognition.The SPSS 23.0 software was used for data analysis, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for inter group comparison, and Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of health behavior holding. Results:The total score of tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen was 3~12 (11.01±1.10), and the overall holding rate of tuberculosis related health behaviors was higher.Male( B=-0.753, OR(95% CI)=0.471(0.417-0.531)), and tuberculosis history ( B=-1.088, OR(95% CI)=0.337(0.157-0.722)) were risk factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among freshmen.Birth in city( B=0.117, OR(95% CI)=1.124(0.944-1.338)), father's education level college /undergraduate and above ( B=0.177, OR(95% CI)=1.194(1.024-1.392)), mother's education level high school/secondary school( B=0.356, OR(95% CI)=1.428(1.126-1.810)), college/undergraduate and above( B=0.194, OR(95% CI)=1.214(1.029-1.433)), take the initiative to understand tuberculosis knowledge ( B=0.208, OR(95% CI)=1.231(1.095-1.385)), higher tuberculosis knowledge score ( B=0.088, OR(95% CI)=1.092(1.041-1.145)), higher disease threat perception score ( B=0.082, OR(95% CI)=1.086(1.031-1.144)) and higher disease policy cognition score( B=0.320, OR(95% CI)=1.378(1.265-1.500)) were protective factors for tuberculosis related health behaviors among first-year undergraduates(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of health belief model can analyze and explain the influencing factors of tuberculosis-related health behaviors of freshmen, which is helpful to strengthen health education and advocate tuberculosis-related health behaviors.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the AIDS knowledge,attitudes and practices of freshmen in Hangzhou and to provide evidence for prevention and control of AIDS in university students.@*Methods@#Freshmen who enrolled in 2015 in a comprehensive university in Hangzhou were recruited by convenience sampling method and surveyed by a questionnaire about AIDS knowledge,attitudes and practices. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for awareness of AIDS knowledge among freshmen.@*Results@#There were 1 999 respondents recruited,with a response rate of 95.19%. The awareness rates of basic and extend AIDS knowledge were 97.90% and 30.67%,respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residence（OR=1.210,95%CI：1.006-1.456）,average or good family economic status（OR：1.874-3.027,95%CI：1.255-7.300）,receiving AIDS/STD related education（OR=1.717,95%CI：1.407-2.097）and receiving AIDS/STD related counselling in the past year（OR=1.786,95%CI：1.033-3.088）were the promotive factors for awareness of AIDS knowledge among freshmen. About 48.50% of freshmen thought they were impossible to be infected with AIDS,and 47.10% of them thought they were less likely to be infected with AIDS. About 0.90% of freshmen had sexual experience,fifteen,two and one of them experienced their first sex with girlfriend/boyfriend,homosexual partners and casual sex partners,respectively;nine of them used condoms in their first sex. The proportions of receiving AIDS/STD related services among freshmen ranged 2.00% from 37.77%.@*Conclusion@#The freshmen have a poor understanding of AIDS,weak awareness of HIV infection risk,high-risk behaviors for STDS/AIDS and receive insufficient AIDS prevention and intervention measures.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between college freshman adaptation and adverse childhood events,and to explore the mediating role of personality characteristics.Methods:A sample of 523 college freshmen from a key university in Sichuan Province was assessed with the China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS),Adverse Childhood Events Questionnaire (ACEQ) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised,Short Scale for Chinese(EPQ-RSC).Results:The rate of adverse childhood events of college freshmen was 87％ in current study.The total scores of adaptation were negatively correlated with the scores of adverse childhood events influence and neuroticism (r ＝-0.13,-0.51,Ps ＜ 0.01),while positively correlated with introversion-extroversion and lie (r ＝ 0.47,0.25,Ps ＜ 0.01).The scores of adverse childhood events influence were negatively correlated with scores of introversion-extroversion (r ＝-0.08,P ＜0.05) and lie (r ＝-0.12,P ＜0.01),while positively correlated with scores of neuroticism (r ＝ 0.17,P ＜ 0.01).Introversion-extroversion and neuroticism mediated the relationship between adverse childhood events influence and college freshman adaptation,the mediating effects were 51.65％ and 58.10％.Conclusion:College freshman adaptation may be closely associated with adverse childhood events influence and personality characteristics.Personality characteristics may play a mediating role between adverse childhood events influence and adaptation in college freshman.
