摘要

评估家长对儿童眼病和视力障碍的认识和态度水平及其决定因素,重点是对儿童进行早期筛查以避免弱视及其并发症的重要性。我们的研究是一项横断面分析研究,包括368名埃及参与者。使用预先测试的自我管理(屏幕)电子问卷,通过社交媒体(Facebook和WhatsApp)群组收集研究参与者的数据。家长对斜视、屈光不正、鼻泪管梗阻的知晓率高(分别为89.03%、77.31%、59.98%),对弱视、白内障、早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)、青光眼的知晓率低(分别为58.98%、38.53%、36.91%、34.41%)。35.3%、77.31%和65.2%的家长对定期接受眼科检查、配戴眼镜和必要时接受眼科手术持肯定态度。医生、社交媒体和朋友是获得知识的首选来源(分别为78%、40.2%和26.9%)。受过高等教育的参与者、有工作的个体和医疗专业人员对儿童眼病的知识得分有统计学意义上的更高。据报道,家长对常见儿科眼病的认识水平和早期眼科筛查的重要性并不令人满意。医生和社交媒体作为获取知识的首选来源可以用于我们社区的健康促进。

Assessment of level of awareness about children eye diseases and routine eye screening among a sample of Egyptian general population
Assessment of the level of awareness and attitude among parents and the determinants regarding eye diseases and visual impairments in their children focusing on the importance of early screening of children to avoid amblyopia and its complications. Our study was a cross-sectional analytical study that included 368 participants in Egypt. A pre-tested self-administered (screen) e-questionnaire was used to collect data from the study participants via social media (Facebook and WhatsApp) groups. Parents’ knowledge about squint, refractive errors, and nasolacrimal duct obstruction was considered high (89.03%, 77.31%, and 59.98%, respectively), while knowledge about amblyopia, cataract, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and glaucoma was considered low (58.98%, 38.53%, 36.91%, and 34.41%, respectively). The attitude concerning going for regular eye screening, wearing spectacles, and undergoing ophthalmic surgery when needed was positive in 35.3%, 77.31%, and 65.2% of parents, respectively. Physicians, social media, and friends were reported to be the preferred sources for acquiring knowledge (78%, 40.2%, and 26.9%, respectively). Participants with higher education, working individuals, and medical professionals had statistically significant higher knowledge scores about childhood eye diseases. The levels of awareness about common pediatric eye problems and the importance of early eye screening among parents were reported to be unsatisfactory. Physicians and social media as preferred sources for gaining knowledge could be used for health promotion in our community.
