摘要

重要性:狂犬病是一种被忽视的热带病毒性疾病,最常见的传播途径是被感染的动物咬伤:本研究评估了 Shone 镇社区对狂犬病的认识水平、态度和做法:2022 年 11 月至 2023 年 4 月在埃塞俄比亚 Shone 镇开展了一项基于调查的横断面研究。有目的地选取了 Woreda,并通过简单随机抽样选取了 Kebeles 和研究人群。采用半结构式问卷对 416 名受访者进行了访谈:所有受访者都从不同渠道听说过狂犬病,其中大多数(62%)是从非正式渠道听说的。大约 51.9%、0.7% 和 47.4% 的人分别知道唾液接触、狂犬病动物咬伤和两者都是传播途径。调查显示,64.4% 的受访者知道狂犬病一旦出现临床症状将100%致命,35.6% 的受访者不知道。约 51.4%的受访者同意捕杀流浪狗是预防狂犬病的有效方法。在本研究中,72.6% 的受访者与宠物有过接触,36.8% 的受访者为自己的宠物狗注射过疫苗。只有受教育程度(p = 0.03)与对传播途径的了解有关。年龄(p = 0.04)和受教育程度(p = 0.01)与对不给狗接种疫苗的风险的了解有统计学意义:社区缺乏正规教育、受教育程度低以及大多数受访者从非官方渠道获取知识是造成认知水平低的重要原因。

Assessment of respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward rabies and associated risk factors in Shone Town, Southern Ethiopia.

Importance: Rabies is a neglected tropical viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.

Objective: This study assessed the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the Shone Town community toward rabies.

Methods: A survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Shone town, Ethiopia, from November 2022 to April 2023. Woreda was selected purposefully, while Kebeles and the study populations were selected by simple random sampling. Four hundred and sixteen respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire.

Results: All respondents had heard about rabies from different sources, with the majority hearing from informal sources (62%). Approximately 51.9%, 0.7%, and 47.4% of individuals were aware of saliva contact, rabid animal bites, and both as means of transmission, respectively. The survey showed that 64.4% of participants knew the 100% fatal nature of rabies once the clinical signs developed, and 35.6% did not. Approximately 51.4% of respondents agreed that killing stray dogs was an effective method for rabies prevention. In this study, 72.6% of the respondents had contact with pets, and 36.8% of the interviewees had vaccinated their dogs. Only the educational level (p = 0.03) was associated with knowledge of the transmission route. Age (p = 0.04) and educational level (p = 0.01) had a statistically significant association with knowledge of the risk of not vaccinating dogs.

Conclusions and relevance: A lack of formal education in the communities, low levels of education, and the majority of respondents acquiring their knowledge from unofficial sources are important contributors to the low levels of awareness.
