摘要

引言个人和社区特征对新冠肺炎的知识、认知和态度的预测，特别是对性别的预测，尚未得到充分探索。目的了解新冠肺炎知识、自我风险认知和公众耻辱感在普通社区中的性别差异，并了解其他可预测这些差异的社会形态因素。方法在2020年8月至2021年2月期间，对来自印度六个邦和一个联邦领地的社区成员（N=1978）的成年个体（≥18岁）进行了一项具有全国代表性的横断面多中心调查。参与者采用系统随机抽样法进行选择。数据通过电话收集，使用试点测试的结构化问卷，并使用STATA进行分析。进行了基于性别的多变量分析，以确定社区中COVID-19相关知识、风险认知和公众污名的统计学显著预测因素（p＜0.05）。结果研究发现，男性和女性在自我风险感知（分别为22.0%和18.2%）和污名化态度（分别为55.3%和47.1%）方面存在显著差异。与文盲相比，受过高等教育的男性和女性拥有新冠肺炎知识的几率更高（aOR:16.83:p<；0.05）。受过高等教育的女性有更高的自我风险感知几率（aOR:2.6；p<；0.05），但有更低的公众污名[aOR:0.57；p&llt；0.05]。男性农村居民有更低的自我风险认知和知识[aOR:0.55；p<t；0.05&；aOR:0.72；p&lgt；0.05]，而女性农村居民有更高几率有公众污名[aOR:1.36；p&ldquo；0.05]研究结果表明，在设计有效干预措施时，考虑性别差异及其背景、教育状况和居住状况的重要性，以提高社区对新冠肺炎的认识，减少风险认知和污名。

Gender differences in COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception, and public stigma among the general community: Findings from a nationwide cross-sectional study in India

Introduction

Individual and community characteristics predictive of knowledge, perception, and attitude on COVID-19, specifically on gender, have not been adequately explored.

Objective

To examine the gender differences in COVID-19 knowledge, self-risk perception and public stigma among the general community and to understand other socio-demographic factors which were predictive of them.

Method

A nationally representative cross-sectional multi-centric survey was conducted among adult individuals(≥18 yrs) from the community member (N = 1978) from six states and one union territory of India between August 2020 to February 2021. The participants were selected using systematic random sampling. The data were collected telephonically using pilot-tested structured questionnaires and were analyzed using STATA. Gender-segregated multivariable analysis was conducted to identify statistically significant predictors (p < 0.05) of COVID-19-related knowledge, risk perception, and public stigma in the community.

Results

Study identified significant differences between males and females in their self-risk perception (22.0% & 18.2% respectively) and stigmatizing attitude (55.3% & 47.1% respectively). Highly educated males and females had higher odds of having COVID-19 knowledge (aOR: 16.83: p < 0.05) than illiterates. Highly educated women had higher odds of having self-risk perception (aOR: 2.6; p < 0.05) but lower public stigma [aOR: 0.57; p < 0.05]. Male rural residents had lower odds of having self-risk perception and knowledge [aOR: 0.55; p < 0.05 & aOR: 0.72; p < 0.05] and female rural residents had higher odds of having public stigma [aOR: 1.36; p < 0.05].

Conclusion

Our study findings suggest the importance of considering thegender differentials and their background, education status and residential status in designing effective interventions to improve knowledge and reduce risk perception and stigma in the community about COVID-19.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
