Analysis of Cognition and Influencing Factors of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Among Chronic Disease Managers in Rural Areas
Objective To investigate the cognition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)among chronic disease(NCD)managers in rural areas of Zigong City,Sichuan Province,and to analyze its influencing factors,so as to provide a basis for better management of COPD in rural areas.Methods In June 2021,a cluster sampling method was used to randomly select 20 township hospitals in Zigong City,Sichuan Province.All NCD managers(including general practitioners,public health personnel,and rural doctors)in the selected township hospitals were surveyed by questionnaires and tested for COPD-related knowledge.Univariate analysis was used to compare the relationship between gender,age,educational background,professional title,job position,working years and whether to participate in training and pass the knowledge test.Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of COPD knowledge test pass of NCD managers.Results Among the 474 respondents,68(14.35%)were general practitioners,177(37.34%)were public health workers,and 229(48.31%)were rural doctors.Among them,97 passed and 377 failed,with a pass rate of 20.46%.Univariate analysis showed that the pass rate was related to educational background,professional title,job position and whether to participate in training.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that job position,professional title,working years and whether to participate in training were the influencing factors of COPD knowledge test(P<0.05).Conclusion Among the NCD managers in rural areas,most of them are public health personnel and rural doctors,with low educational background and professional title,and low cognitive level of COPD.The cognitive level of NCD managers on COPD is related to their jobs,educational background,professional title,working years and whether they participate in training.
