摘要

背景:巴基斯坦完全缺乏治疗狂犬病的知识。为了减少每年的受害者人数,免疫和宣传计划是巴基斯坦人口的基本必需品。本研究的目的是强调学习策略的缺乏以及如何克服这一问题,从而消除狂犬病。方法:本横断面研究于2022年1月至2022年6月在巴基斯坦卡拉奇市对692名年龄在8-50岁的受访者进行了调查。该研究基于狂犬病的人口统计学特征和基本知识、传播方式、临床症状和动物宿主种类范围。采用二元logistic回归分析,了解不同年龄组、婚姻状况、职业等因素对狂犬病的危险因素。结果:各年龄组存在狂犬病错误知识的风险,20 ~ 30岁和31 ~ 40岁的风险比分别为1.182和1.775;然而,31-40岁的高危人群显示出的比值=3.597 (95% ci 1.621-7.983)。职业与狂犬病知识的相关性也得到了检验。只有医生(odds = 1.396)和学生(odds = 1.955)表示不了解狂犬病。结论:这项研究突出了该国狂犬病的严重形势。通过这项研究,我们希望提高人们对狂犬病传播、传播和控制的认识

Rabies: Perils and Prevention, an Insight into Practices and Perception in Residents of Pakistan

Background: There is a sheer lack of knowledge in treating rabies in Pakistan. To decrease the number of victims every year, immunization and awareness programs are the basic necessities of Pakistani population. The aim of this study was to highlight the lack of learning strategies and how to overcome this problem, so as to eliminate rabies.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 692 respondents, aged 8-50 years, in Karachi city of Pakistan from January 2022 to June 2022. The study was based on demographic characteristics and basic knowledge of rabies, mode of transmission, clinical signs, and range of animal host species. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to know the risk factor of rabies among different age groups, marital status, occupation, etc.

Results: Results revealed that all the age groups were at risk of the wrong knowledge about rabies, odds = 1.182 and odds = 1.775 for 20-30 and 31-40 years of age, respectively; however, 31-40 years were at the high risk of showing odds=3.597 (95% C.I 1.621-7.983). The correlation of occupation was also checked with rabies knowledge. Only doctors (odds = 1.396) and students (odds = 1.955) showed their unawareness about rabies.

Conclusion: This study highlights the grave situation that holds the country in the form of rabies. Through this study we aspire to raise awareness regarding the transmission, spread, and control of rabies
