Research on the Effectiveness of International Travel Health Education in Health Centers
Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data.To enhance the effectiveness of international travel health education,raise the health awareness among inbound and outbound travelers,and mitigate public health risks at ports of entry,this study conducted an in-depth survey across frontline international travel health care centers.A questionnaire survey was conducted on some inbound and outbound personnel from the aspects of health education methods,content,impact,and satisfaction evaluation.A total of 6942 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods.Results revealed that 78.05%of the respondents identified the internet as a key source of information on infectious disease prevention and control during international travel.However,the survey found that the educational resources of some health centers are mainly allocated offline.Additionally,44.90%of the respondents reported gaining knowledge about monkeypox,COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases through health education,while 54.96%indicated that health education increased their understanding of travel destinations and improved their emergency response capabilities.These findings suggest a disconnect between the current educational services and the actual needs of the audience.The frequency of updating knowledge on new global outbreaks of infectious diseases and response measures to public health emergencies is insufficient,and staffproficiency in this area needs improvement.To address this,international travel health centers should further strengthen online education initiatives by leveraging the internet and new media platforms,ensuring timely updates on global epidemic trends.By doing so,they can provide high-quality targeted suggestions for entry-exit travelers.
