Analysis of KAP status and influencing factors in prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis among young and middle-aged people in a city
Objective:To explore the status of knowledge,belief and practice(KAP)on prevention and control of pulmonary tuber-culosis among young and middle-aged people in a city and its related influencing factors.Methods:From April to May 2024,Puyang Fifth People's Hospital(Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute)selected 600 young and middle-aged people aged 30 to 39 years as survey objects.Questionnaire was used to investigate the general information and KAP scores.Single factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of KAP scores for the prevention and control of tuberculosis in young and middle-aged people.Results:600 questionnaires were distributed and 596 were collected.After excluding 8 invalid questionnaires,a total of 588 questionnaires were obtained,with an effective response rate of 98.00%(588/600).The 588 young and middle-aged peo-ple scored(13.47±4.09)on knowledge of prevention and control of tuberculosis,(10.33±3.38)on belief,(18.22±4.70)on be-havior,and(42.02±12.17)on KAP as a whole.Single factor analysis showed that there was no significant difference in KAP scores for prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis among middle-aged and young people of different genders,occupational status,ma-rital status,and nationalities(P>0.05).There were statistically significant differences in KAP scores for prevention and control of tu-berculosis among young and middle-aged people with different education levels,places of residence,recent tuberculosis education,medical background,contact with tuberculosis patients,and family history of tuberculosis(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression showed that education level,residence,recent tuberculosis education,medical background,contact with tuberculosis patients,tuberculosis family history were the influencing factors of KAP status of young and middle-aged people in tuberculosis prevention and control(P<0.05).Conclusion:Education level,residence,recent tuberculosis education,medical background,contact with tuberculosis pa-tients,and tuberculosis family history are the influencing factors for the KAP score of tuberculosis prevention and control among young and middle-aged people.Clinical intervention strategies can be formulated according to the above influencing factors to improve the KAP level of tuberculosis prevention and control among young and middle-aged people,so as to provide guidance for reducing the incidence of tuberculosis among young and middle-aged people.
