Objective@#To investigate the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and its influencing factors among female sex workers (FSWs) in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province.@*Methods@#According to the HIV/AIDS Sentinel Surveillance Plan, FSWs at ages of 15 to 65 years monitored by the national AIDS surveillance sentinel in Jiaxing City were recruited, and demographic information, awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge and related behaviors were collected by questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge were identified by a multivariable logistic regression model.@*Results@#A total of 430 questionnaires were allocated, and 412 were valid, with an effective rate of 95.81%. The respondents had a mean age of (28.58±4.93) years, and included 258 unmarried FSWs (62.62%), 344 with registered residence outside Zhejiang Province (83.50%), 212 with junior high school education or below (51.46%) and 243 from high-end entertainment places (58.98%). The overall awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs was 20.39%, and the awareness of "Transfusion of blood containing hepatitis C virus may acquire hepatitis C" (38.83%) and the awareness of "tattooing, eyebrow tattooing and ear piercing in streets or small shops may infect hepatitis C" (38.11%) were relatively low. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified marital status (divorced or widowed, OR=0.161, 95%CI: 0.054-0.482), educational level (high school or technical secondary school, OR=2.568, 95%CI: 1.446-4.560; junior college or above, OR=6.110, 95%CI: 2.658 -14.045) and grade of entertainment places (high-end entertainment places, OR=2.756, 95%CI: 1.525-4.982) as factors affecting the awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among FSWs.@*Conclusion@#FSWs in Jiaxing City have a low awareness of hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge, especially lacking of knowledge about the transmission routes and prognosis of hepatitis C.

Objective:To analyze the status and influencing factors of awareness of diabetic retinopathy (DR) knowledge in diabetics in Funing County, Jiangsu Province.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. In 2021, a total of 2 125 residents with diabetes in Funing County, Jiangsu Province were recruited using cluster random sampling methods. General examinations were performed and ophthalmological evaluation were conducted including visual acuity in daily life, slit lamp microscope with preset lens, digital non-mydriatic fundus photography. Clinical assessment and classification of DR were according to the international standard clinical classifications of diabetic retinopathy in 2019. DR was classified into no obvious DR, mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Field questionnaire surveys were conducted to show the awareness rate of DR knowledge. Then Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate influencing factors.Results:Among 2 125 subjects, 762 (35.86%, 762/2 125) residents were male and 1 363 (64.14%, 1 363/2 125) residents were female. A total of 444 (20.89%, 444/2 125) subjects were diagnosed as DR. Among which, 438 (20.61%, 438/2 125) subjects were NPDR, 6 (0.28%, 6/2 125) subjects were PDR. A total of 419 (19.72%, 419/2 125) subjects were diagnosed as cataract. The topic awareness rates were all below 45.00%. The overall population awareness rate was 19.45% (4 959/25 500). Awareness rate was correlated with age, visual acuity in daily life, education level, family history of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy grades and the type of treatment for diabetes ( P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the knowledge rate of prevention and treatment of DR Decreased significantly in patients aged 60-79 compared with those aged under 50 ( P<0.05). Compared with those with visual acuity <0.1 in daily life, the knowledge rate of DR prevention and treatment in those with visual acuity ≥0.1 was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). While primary school to college education, with family history of diabetes, with DR, oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin treatment were associated with higher awareness rate ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The DR knowledge level is low among diabetics in Funing County, Jiangsu Province in 2021. Age, visual acuity in daily life, education level, family history of diabetes, with DR and receiving drug treatments are main influencing factors for diabetic’s awareness.

Objective To understand the situation of prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis in people,and analyze the influencing factors of prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis,so as to provide efficient and targeted evidence for taking intervention measures against echinococcosis.Methods All the districts (counties) in agricultural and pastoral area-based cities (zhous) in Qinghai Province were selected,3 townships were selected in each district (county),and 100 residents were randomly selected in each township via the stratified random sampling method.In each district (county),students of Grade Four or higher were randomly selected via the multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method,they were all investigated through a questionnaire survey about echinococcosis in Qinghai Province in 2012-2014.The influencing factors of prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis were analyzed using Logistic regression analysis,including age,gender and district.Results Totally 11 959 residents and 23 600 students were selected and surveyed,and the qualified rate of residents and students in prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis was 62.4％ (7 464 cases) and 66.0％(15 566 cases),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =43.695,P ＜ 0.01).The aware rate of echinococcosis knowledge between residents and students was significantly different (x2 =113.680,60.712,1 204.943,273.296,P ＜ 0.01) except the question "washing hands before eating".Logisitic regression analysis showed that the main factors influencing the qualified rate of echinococcosis of residents were age (OR =0.989,95％CI:0.986-0.991) and district (compared with Huangnan Zhou,Haidong City OR =3.478,95％CI:2.978-4.063;Haixi Zhou OR =10.284,95％CI:8.578-12.330;Hainan Zhou OR =7.750,95％CI:6.468-9.286;Haibei Zhou OR =11.056,95％CI:9.089-13.448;Guoluo Zhou OR =7.309,95％CI:6.132-8.713;and Yushu Zhou OR =0.319,95％CI:0.258-0.393);and the main factors influencing the qualified rate of echinococcosis of students were age (OR =0.981,95％CI:0.964-0.998),gender (OR =1.103,95％CI:1.040-1.170) and district (compared with Huangnan Zhou,Xi'ning City OR =5.428,95％CI:4.823-6.109;Haidong City OR =3.860,95％CI:3.437-4.334;Haixi Zhou OR =6.557,95％CI:5.750-7.477;Hainan Zhou OR =2.757,95％CI:2.444-3.112;Haibei Zhou OR =9.968,95％CI:8.498-11.692;Guoluo Zhou OR =4.306,95％CI:3.653-5.075;and Yushu Zhou OR =0.616,95％CI:0.545-0.695).Conclusions The general aware rate of echinococcosis knowledge in people is not high in Qinghai Province.The main factors that have influenced the qualified rate of echinococcosis knowledge of residents are age and district,and of students are age,gender and district.It is necessary to implement the targeted intervention measures to improve mastering level of prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis of people in Qinghai Province.
