Analysis of current status and influencing factors of hepatitis E knowledge awareness rate among pregnant women in Jiaxing city,Zhejiang province
Objective To understand the awareness of hepatitis E knowledge and its influencing factors among pregnant women in Jiaxing city,Zhejiang province,and to provide evidence for the development of community hepatitis E prevention and control strategies.Methods Using random cluster sampling and a self-developed questionnaire,we conducted an anonymous on-site survey among 2 512 pregnant women undergoing physical examinations in 8 city-or county-level maternal and child health hospitals in Jiangxi province in April 2023.A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the awareness of hepatitis E knowledge and its influencing factors among the pregnant women.Results Of the 2 495 participants(99.32％of women surveyed)with valid responses,809(32.42％)were considered knowledgeable about hepatitis E(correctly answering 7 of 12 hepatitis E knowledge questions).Knowledge of hepatitis E varied significantly among participants with different regions of household registration,weeks of pregnancy,occupations,education levels,and annual household income(P＜0.05 for all).Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,compared with those with local household registration,pregnant women with non-local household registration were less likely to be aware of hepatitis E knowledge(odds ratio[OR]=0.552,95％confidence interval[95％CI]:0.445-0.684);compared with those in early pregnancy,pregnant women in late pregnancy were less likely to be aware of hepatitis E knowledge(OR=0.598,95％CI:0.476-0.752);compared with those who were civil servants or worked in public institutions,the participants who were medical personnel were more likely to be aware of hepatitis E knowledge(OR=4.460,95％CI:2.663-7.469),while the participants who were workers(OR=0.643,95％CI:0.422-0.980)and unemployed/self-employed(OR=0.578,95％CI:0.431-0.776)were less likely to be aware of the knowledge;compared to those with a junior college education and below,participants with a bachelor's degree and above were more likely to be aware of hepatitis E knowledge(OR=2.052,95％CI:1.648-2.555).Conclusion The awareness of hepatitis E knowledge among pregnant women in Jiaxing city is low,especially among the pregnant women with non-local household registration,in late pregnancy,with an education level of junior college and below,being workers and and unemployed/self-employed;the results suggest that interventions on publicity of hepatitis E knowledge should be promoted among targeted populations.
