Analysis of the current status and influencing factors of disease knowledge-attitude-practice in patients with newly treated brucellosis
Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of disease knowledge-attitude-practice in patients with newly treated brucellosis,providing reference basis for disease prevention,promotion and nursing.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 280 newly treated brucellosis patients admitted to Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August to December 2023 as the research subjects.General information questionnaire and brucellosis knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire were used to survey.Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of disease knowledge-attitude-practice in patients with newly treated brucellosis.Results A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this study,and 280 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 93.3%.Total score of disease knowledge-attitude-practice in 280 newly treated brucellosis patients was(7.49±2.46)points,including knowledge dimension score(3.63±1.64)points and attitude and practice dimension score(3.86±1.58)points.There were statistically significant differences in knowledge scores,attitude and practice scores,as well as total score of knowledge-attitude-practice among patients of different ages,occupations,educational levels and places of residence(P<0.05).There was statistically significant difference in knowledge scores among patients with different monthly incomes from different families(P<0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,education level and place of residence were independent influencing factors of disease knowledge in newly treated brucellosis patients(P<0.05),while age and education level were independent influencing factors of disease attitude and practice in newly treated brucellosis patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The level of disease knowledge-attitude-practice among newly diagnosed brucellosis patients in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is lower than expected.Age,educational level and place of residence are the main factors affecting the patient's knowledge-attitude-practice.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education for different groups,improve disease awareness,promote positive prevention and treatment behaviors,in order to improve treatment effectiveness and raise public health awareness.
