ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the current situation of myopia in a primary school in Jinhua city and the intervention effect of knowledge, belief and practice.METHODS: From September to December 2022, a total of 1 482 primary school students who met the inclusion criteria were selected for myopia test and education intervention based on cluster sampling method. The questionnaire was designed based on relevant references. The main contents of the questionnaire include students' general information, low vision and knowledge, belief and practice before and after intervention and prevention of myopia.RESULTS: A total of 1 482 primary school students were investigated and tested, among which myopia was detected out of 657 students, with a myopia rate of 44.33%. Specifically, mild myopia accounted for 54.64%(359); moderate myopia accounted for 23.90%(157); severe myopia accounted for 21.46%(141). A total of 1 468 valid questionnaires were collected before intervention, and 1 457 valid questionnaires were collected after intervention. The overall knowledge rate of myopia prevention and control knowledge before intervention was 62.57%(7348/11744), and it was 81.20%(9465/11656)after intervention, with statistical significance before and after intervention was statistically significant(P<0.001). The behavior attendance rate before intervention was 82.48%(9687/11744), and it was 93.73%(10925/11656)after intervention, with statistical significance comparison before and after intervention(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The results of this survey showed that the myopia situation of primary students in Jinhua city was not optimistic, and some students were not aware of prevention knowledge and correct behavior before intervention. After intervention, the knowledge, belief and practice of myopia prevention and control have achieved remarkable results.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of diversified health education on the Knowledge, Belief and Practice and rehabilitation of respiratory function training in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 85 patients with thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer from January 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into treatment group (January 2016 to December 2016, 43 cases) and control group (January 2017 to December 2017, 42 cases). The control group was given respiratory function training under the guidance of routine health education, while the treatment group was given respiratory function training under the guidance of diversified health education. After 3 months of follow-up, the levels of KBP, lung function, and complications of respiratory function training were compared between the two groups. Results The Knowledge, Belief and Practice scores of respiratory function training in the treatment group were 13.12 ± 1.24, 17.65±2.12 and 17.12±2.24, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (10.65±1.16, 15.32±1.62, 15.23±1.60), and the differences were statistically significant (t=9.479, 5.684, 4.467, P<0.05);the first second of forced expiration (FEV1) accounted for the predicted value (FEV1％), forced vital capacity (FVC％), and FEV1/FVC were (78.32 ± 6.45)％, (65.78 ± 4.35)％, (73.12 ± 5.25), significantly higher than the control group (71.26±7.45)％, (58.70±5.65)％, (65.65±6.12), and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.674, 6.483, 6.045, P<0.05);the 6.98％(3/43) of complications such as atelectasis, pulmonary infection, and pleural effusion were significantly lower than 28.57％(10/42) in the control group (χ2=6.818, P<0.05).Conclusions Diversified health education can improve the level of KBP and behavior of respiratory function training in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, improve lung function and reduce postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to evaluate belief and practice levels of family physicians concerning primary care, to find significant variables that affect those levels and to know opinions of primary physicians whether primary care is settled or not. METHODS: The target population were those family physicians having finished their three-year residency course in family medicine after 1989. Out of 2,075 people, the addresses 945 were identified of This was a sample population. We excluded 62 persons who worked in medical school. The questionnaires were sent twice during July to September in 1998, and contents were constructed of general characteristics, items of belief and practice level of five areas of primary care(1977, IOM Accessibility, Comprehensiveness, Continuity, Coordination, Accountability). RESULTS: Response rate was 32.1%(total: 270: 1st respondents : 226 and 2nd: 44). Average belief level conceming principles of primary care was 4.45 point (5 point scale), and accordirg to area rate continuity, coordination, comprehensiveness, accountability, accessibility, which was significant (p=0.00). Average practice level(5 point scale) concerning principles of primary care was 3.64 point. In order of strength of belief: accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination, accountability, continuity, which was significant(p=0.00). The highest concordance between belief and practice was accessibility(p =0.00) and the highest gap was continuity(p=0.00). Compared with the unsatisfied group, the satisfied group had higher practice level(p=0.00). Compared with the not open group, the open group had higher practice level(p=0.00). Significant variables that affect practice level were belief level, opening, satisfaction(r2=0.27, p=0.00). The opinion of whether primary care was settled was mostly negative (95.8%). CONCLUSION: Although, family physicians were revealed to have relatively high belief and practice level concerning primary care, their opinions about primary care setting were negative. There is a lot of significant gap between individual level as family physician and societal level in primary care. More studies need to be conducted to determine the causes of such difference.
