Analysis of the status and influencing factors of rural residents'knowledge,attitudes,beliefs and practices about public health emergencies in ethnic minority areas
Objective To understand the status and influencing factors of knowledge,attitudes,beliefs,and practices(KABP)about public health emergencies among rural residents in ethnic minority areas and to provide a reference for carrying out relevant health knowledge publicity and improving rural residents'self-protection abilities and health emergency response capabilities.Methods From December 2021 to May 2022,a questionnaire survey was conducted by sampling permanent rural residents in three counties and districts in the ethnic minority area,Baise,using a multi-stage random sampling method to assess the current status of KABP for public health emergencies.An ordered logistic regression model was used for multifactor analysis of influencing factors.Results The overall moderate-to-good rate of KABP regarding public health emergencies among 541 rural residents was 77.81％,with specific rates of 12.75％.Among them,the moderate-to-good rates of health knowledge,attitude/belief,and behavior were 61.73％,81.70％,and 81.33％.The results of ordered logistic regression analysis showed that age,education level,occupation,income level,health status,awareness of severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS),and awareness of health education were the main influencing factors on rural residents'overall KABP(P＜0.05).Conclusions Rural residents have a relatively positive attitude/belief about coping with public health emergencies,but their levels of knowledge and behavior need to be further improved.Older age groups,people with lower education levels,farmers/workers,lower-income individuals,people with poorer health conditions are the critical targets of concern and targeted health education measures should be taken to strengthen rural residents'knowledge of public health emergencies in ethnic minority areas to promote the development of good protective behavior further.
