■由于缺乏明确的症状,肾脏疾病被认为是无声的杀手。关于慢性肾脏病(CKD)管理的公众知识已被证明可以降低CKD发作和进展为终末期肾病和肾衰竭的风险。这项研究的主要目的是评估肾功能的知识,CKD症状,病因学,一般人群的预防和治疗。
■在约旦进行了一项使用经过验证的问卷的横断面研究,以评估公众对CKD的了解。使用由32个知识问题组成的问卷评估CKD的公众知识,包括风险因素,症状,治疗,保护措施和肾功能。知识水平按总分分类:差(0-50%),中等(51-70%)和良好/高(71-100%)。进行多元回归分析以比较知识得分(KS)并预测与参与者基线特征的关联。
■2181名参与者对CKD的知识水平处于中等水平。在患有高血压等健康问题的参与者中,KS明显更高,糖尿病和心脏病,在医疗领域工作的一级亲属,与健康相关的专业,已婚,employed,受过高等教育,高收入和吸烟者。有关CKD的知识的主要来源是卫生专业人员,电视节目,书籍和杂志。多元回归分析显示KS与年龄、性别,功能状态,教育水平和领域,收入,吸烟状况,有家庭成员/配偶在医疗领域工作,和知识来源。
■关于CKD管理的公共知识水平在很大程度上受参与者的健康和社会因素的影响。因此,通过教育和媒体提高公众的知识和认知将显著降低CKD的患病率和发病率。
由于慢性肾脏病(CKDs)的高患病率,公众认识和教育公众是必不可少的。提高意识有助于早期发现,管理并可能减缓CKD的进展。建立对CKD风险因素的认识使卫生政策制定者能够采取预防措施。CKD可以显著影响生活质量,和公众意识运动可以强调CKD对整体福祉的影响,激励个人优先考虑肾脏健康。
UNASSIGNED: Kidney diseases are considered silent killers due to the lack of well-defined symptoms. Public knowledge about chronic kidney disease (CKD) management has been shown to decrease the risk of CKD onset and progression to end-stage renal disease and renal failure. The main objective of this study was to assess the knowledge of kidney function, CKD symptoms, etiology, prevention and treatment in the general population.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study using a validated questionnaire was conducted in Jordan to assess public knowledge of CKD. Public knowledge of CKD was assessed using a questionnaire consisting of 32 knowledge questions, including risk factors, symptoms, treatment, protective measures and kidney function. The knowledge level was classified according to the total score: poor (0-50%), intermediate (51-70%) and good/high (71-100%). Multiple regression analysis was performed to compare knowledge scores (KS) and predict associations with the participants\' baseline characteristics.
UNASSIGNED: The level of knowledge about CKD among the 2181 participants was intermediate. The KS was significantly higher among participants with health issues such as hypertension, diabetes and heart problems, first-degree relatives working in the medical field, majors relevant to health, married, employed, highly educated, high-income and smokers. The main sources of knowledge about CKD were health professionals, TV shows, books and magazines. Multiple regression analysis showed an association between KS and age, sex, functional status, educational level and field, income, smoking status, having a family member/spouse work in the medical field, and knowledge source.
UNASSIGNED: The public level of knowledge about CKD management is greatly influenced by participants\' health and social factors. Thus, improving public knowledge and perception through education and the media will significantly reduce CKD prevalence and incidence.
Public awareness and educating the public about chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) is essential because of the high prevalence, and increased awareness can contribute to early detection, management and potentially slow down the progression of CKD.Creating awareness of the risk factors for CKD enables health policy developers to adopt preventive measures.CKD can significantly affect quality of life, and public awareness campaigns can emphasize the impact of CKD on overall well-being, motivating individuals to prioritize kidney health.
