Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Diabetes Mellitus is a long duration disease, and if a person with diabetes is infected with a blood-borne infectious disease and proper syringe disposal practices are not followed, they run the danger of transmitting the infection to others for a very long period. Whereas fewer research has been done in China on the handing of sharp objects at home. Therefore, there is a need to translate and localize the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire regarding sharp disposal for diabetic patients to assess the current level of patient knowledge, attitudes, and practices and to improve the basis for promoting safe sharps handling practices.
UNASSIGNED: This investigation was a cross-sectional study. The Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire regarding sharp disposal was localized and debugged and tested for reliability and validity, and then 334 patients were investigated by General Characteristics Questionnaire, Knowledge- Attitude-Practice Questionnaire regarding sharp disposal, and the influencing factors of practice level regarding sharp disposal of patients were analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: The Cronbach\'s α value of the attitude section was 0.864 and the content validity index was 0.923. The knowledge and practice sections are in line with continental language conventions and are easy to understand without any ambiguity. The majority (52%) of the participants had poor knowledge and a neutral attitude toward disposing of sharp objects. Sharps disposal practices among diabetes mellitus patients were poor since about 90% of patients dispose of their used sharps directly into the household waste. Furthermore, we found that level of education, knowledge and attitude were the major predictors of practices regarding sharps disposal among diabetic patients (R 2 = 0.573, p < 0.001).
UNASSIGNED: The Chinese version of the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire regarding sharp disposal has applicability in China. In China, current practice of disposing used sharps is improper. Additionally, the majority of the subjects had low levels of knowledge and attitudes. To raise awareness and encourage diabetic patients to follow appropriate sharps disposal practices, there needs to be ongoing education and a locally tailored safe sharp disposal alternative accessible.
摘要:
糖尿病是一种长期的疾病,如果糖尿病患者感染了血液传播传染病,并且没有遵循适当的注射器处置方法,他们有很长一段时间将感染传染给他人的危险。而在中国,关于在家中处理尖锐物体的研究较少。因此,有必要翻译和本地化知识-态度-实践问卷关于急剧处置糖尿病患者,以评估当前的患者知识水平,态度,和实践,并改善促进安全锐器处理实践的基础。
这项调查是一项横断面研究。对有关尖锐处置的知识-态度-实践问卷进行了本地化和调试,并进行了信度和效度测试。然后用一般特征问卷对334例患者进行调查,关于尖锐处置的知识-态度-实践问卷,并对患者锐器处置执业水平的影响因素进行分析。
态度部分的Cronbach\'sα值为0.864,内容效度指数为0.923。知识和实践部分符合大陆语言公约,易于理解,没有任何歧义。大多数(52%)的参与者知识贫乏,对处置尖锐物体持中立态度。糖尿病患者的锐器处置实践很差,因为约90%的患者将其使用过的锐器直接丢弃到生活垃圾中。此外,我们发现教育水平,知识和态度是糖尿病患者利器处置实践的主要预测因素(R2=0.573,p<0.001).
关于尖锐处置的知识-态度-实践问卷的中文版在中国具有适用性。在中国,目前处置用过的利器的做法是不恰当的。此外,大多数受试者的知识和态度水平较低。提高人们的认识,并鼓励糖尿病患者遵循适当的锐器处置方法,需要持续的教育和当地量身定制的安全尖锐处置替代方案。
