RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the cognition of e-cigarette compositions and hazards and its influencing factors among secondary school personnel （junior， senior and vocational high school） in Shanghai， so as to provide ideas for improving the cognition level of e-cigarettes among the school personnel and tobacco control efforts on campus in the future. MethodsA multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct an anonymous online questionnaire survey among 1 767 secondary school personnel in Shanghai. ResultsThe proportion of school staff who had used e-cigarettes was 3.79%. The participants who were not sure whether the e-cigarette smoke was “mainly water vapor （incorrect）” and whether the e-cigarette smoke “contained nicotine （correct）” and “contained formaldehyde （correct）” accounted for 62.71%， 54.44% and 61.91%， respectively. Among them， 68.48%， 55.46% and 50.37%， respectively， agreed that e-cigarettes would be “addictive”， “harmful” and “that second-hand smoke was harmful”. Binary logistic regression analysis showed the following risk factors for the low level of school personnel’s awareness of e-cigarette compositions： age ≥40 years （OR=1.65， 95%CI： 1.32‒2.06）， working in junior high school （OR=1.37， 95%CI： 1.09‒1.73）， educational attainment level as junior college or below （OR=1.67， 95%CI： 1.02‒2.74）， and not having participated in tobacco control education activities （OR=1.37， 95%CI： 1.08‒1.73）. Meanwhile， working in junior （OR=1.43， 95%CI： 1.12‒1.83） or senior （OR=1.44， 95%CI： 1.08‒1.92） high school， educational attainment level as junior college or below（OR=2.10， 95%CI： 1.24‒3.56）， having used e-cigarettes （OR=2.98， 95%CI： 1.63‒5.42）， not having participated in tobacco control education activities （OR=1.49， 95%CI： 1.16‒1.92） and low level of awareness of e-cigarette compositions （OR=4.24， 95%CI： 3.44‒5.23） were risk factors for the low level of school personnel’s awareness of e-cigarette hazards. ConclusionsThe level of e-cigarette awareness among school personnel in Shanghai is low， especially those who are older， had low educational attainment level and had used e-cigarettes. In the future， tobacco control education for school personnel should be strengthened to improve their cognition and ability of tobacco control on campus.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the level of physical activities (PA) and related influencing factors among junior high school personnel in Hangzhou. Methods In a cross sectional study,a self administered questionnaire was used to assess the levels of PA. Kruskal-Wallis H test and ordinal regression were applied to analyze the related factors. Results Among the 1 497 school personnel included in this study,prevalence rates on the low,moderate and high levels of PA were 40.8%,40.6%and 18.6%,respectively. Data from the multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that:when comparing with the low level,people aged ≥45(OR=1.576,95%CI:1.128-2.201) or those having minor perceived stress(OR=1.490,95%CI:1.141-1.946)more likely to fall into the moderate level. However,factors as higher awareness scores on the benefit of PA(OR=1.070, 95%CI:1.002-1.143),being male(OR=3.088,95%CI:2.162-4.409),always or very often taking PA together with colleagues(OR=2.903,95%CI:1.587-5.312),taking PA once in a while together with colleagues(OR=1.900,95%CI:1.160-3.110)or having space to walk around home(OR=1.657, 95%CI:1.022-2.688) would increase the likelihood of having high PA level. However,factors as marital status,socioeconomic status,years of working at school,BMI,level of having received education and positive impact from colleagues etc. did not seem to have significantly related to the PA level. Conclusion Gender,age,stress from work and supportive environment should be taken into account while planning on promoting the PA level among junior high school personnel in Hangzhou.
