摘要

导言:表皮真菌病是全球最常见的疾病之一,但其流行病学正随着时间的推移而发生变化。目的:了解游泳池使用者对香港脚和甲真菌病的认识:通过谷歌文档对 690 名参与者进行了广泛调查。问卷由 30 个在线投票项目组成,旨在评估受访者对真菌感染的了解程度,包括预防策略、疾病轨迹和治疗方法等方面。调查样本具体包括与33个互联网群组相关的学生和体育爱好者,数据收集时间跨度为2018年1月12日至3月15日,早于COVID-19大流行的到来:在研究中,85.2%的参与者定期检查自己的脚,4.8%的人寻求足科服务。75.2%的参与者在每次游完泳后都会更换毛巾,以保持卫生;41.4%的参与者承认共用美甲工具。值得注意的是,75.7%的人在出现症状时希望得到专业人士的帮助,24.3%的人选择家庭疗法。性别差异非常明显,女性的卫生习惯和泳池使用率明显优于男性(p < 0.001)。在美容师服务过程中,女性也更倾向于对美容工具进行消毒并优先考虑无菌操作(p < 0.001)。这些发现强调了针对不同性别的健康行为分析在促进预防措施方面的重要性:这项研究强调了甲癣是一个重大的社会问题。在 COVID-19 之前,市政游泳池使用者对香港脚和甲真菌病的预防、症状和治疗认识不足。

Awareness of people using municipal swimming pools about the prevention, symptoms, and treatment of athlete's foot and onychomycosis before COVID-19.

Introduction: Superficial mycosis is one of the most common diseases worldwide; however, its epidemiology is changing over time.

Aim: To present the awareness of people using swimming pools about athlete's foot and onychomycosis.

Material and methods: A total of 690 participants were subjected to an extensive survey administered via Google Documents. The questionnaire consisted of 30 online polling items and aimed to evaluate respondents' knowledge pertaining to fungal infections, encompassing aspects such as prevention strategies, disease trajectory, and therapeutic modalities. The survey sample specifically encompassed students and sports enthusiasts associated with 33 Internet groups, and data collection transpired during the period spanning 12 January to 15 March, 2018, predating the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: In the study, 85.2% of participants regularly inspected their feet, with 4.8% seeking podiatric services. While 75.2% demonstrated hygienic behaviour by changing towels after each pool visit, 41.4% acknowledged sharing nail tools. Notably, 75.7% preferred professional assistance for symptoms, with 24.3% opting for home remedies. Gender disparities were evident, with women showing significantly better hygiene practices and pool usage than men (p < 0.001). Women also exhibited a stronger tendency to disinfect grooming tools and prioritise sterility during beautician services (p < 0.001). These findings emphasise the importance of gender-specific health behaviour analysis in promoting preventive measures.

Conclusions: The study highlights onychomycosis as a significant societal concern. Pre-COVID-19, awareness among municipal swimming pool users regarding prevention, symptoms, and treatment of athlete's foot and onychomycosis was insufficient.
