目的 了解乡、村两级医务人员手足口病有关知识掌握情况,为开展医务人员培训提供依据。方法 从颍上县30个乡镇中,每乡镇抽取2～4名镇卫生院内科医生及2～4名村卫生室乡村医生,通过现场调查的方式,了解医务人员手足口病知识知晓率。结果 医务人员手足口病知识知晓率为84.50%,乡镇卫生院医务人员手足口病知识知晓率高于村卫生室医务人员(χ²=8.959,P=0.003),有助理医师、执业医师资格证的医务人员手足口病知识知晓率高于无资格证人员(χ²=7.685,P=0.021);知识知晓率最低的项目为手足口病重症的早期识别症状,仅18.41%的人知道持续发热不退、呕吐、肢体抖动是手足口病重症早期易识别的症状。结论 乡村两级医务人员手足口病防治知识知晓情况不平衡,应针对关键知识开展培训,提高医务人员手足口病防治水平。

Objective This study was aimed to investigate the awareness rate of hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD) of the medical workers at township and village levels, and provide reference for medical workers' training. Methods We randomly selected 2-4 medical workers at township level and 2-4 medical workers at village level from each town of Yingshang county, and field investigation was used to get awareness of the medical workers on HFMD knowledge. Results The knowledge rate of HFMD was 84.50%, that of medical workers in township hospitals was higher than that of medical workers in village clinics (χ²=8.959, P<0.003), and the knowledge rate of medical workers with qualifications of medical practitioners or assistant medical practitioners was higher than that of medical workers without the qualifications (χ²=7.685, P<0.021). They had less knowledge about early symptom among severe patients. Only 18.41% of them knew that vomiting, persistent fever and limb shaking were the most common symptoms on early stage of severe case. Conclusion The awareness rate of various issues were different, and effective training measures should be taken to propagate key knowledges for the medical workers.
