■气候变化影响登革热等媒介传播疾病的传播,构成重大公共卫生威胁。孟加拉国,凭借其传播登革热的有利条件,经历了周期性的爆发。本研究探讨了气候变化知识之间的关系,对登革热-气候联系的看法,以及孟加拉国青年的相关因素。
■在孟加拉国的达卡地区,在2023年9月至10月间进行了一项横断面研究,对1,358名参与者进行了面对面访谈.方便(非概率)采样用于参与者选择。数据收集涉及半结构化问卷的管理,包括知情同意,社会人口统计信息,与气候变化相关的知识(13项)和感知(11项)有关的查询。数据分析使用STATA(15.0版)和SPSS(26.0版)。
■知识和感知的平均得分分别为7.10±3.20(13分)和26.60±4.12(33分)。参与者的平均年龄为22.02±1.58岁。研究表明,未婚状态,生活在一个核心家庭,作为一个不吸烟的人,对身体健康有良好的自我感觉,有规律的睡眠模式,适度的社交媒体使用,年龄较大,失业,和日常媒体消费是与登革热-气候变化联系的更高知识和感知相关的因素。此外,观察到气候变化知识与对登革热-气候联系的有利态度之间存在正相关。
这项研究强调了为孟加拉国青年量身定制的气候变化教育的重要性,并强调了影响他们知识和观念的关键变量。值得注意的是,气候变化知识与对登革热-气候联系的有利态度之间存在正相关。这些见解强调了有针对性的教育运动和政策干预措施的重要性,旨在提高青年人口的气候意识,从而促进采取积极措施,以减轻登革热在气候变化背景下的影响。
UNASSIGNED: Climate change affects the transmission of vector-borne diseases like
dengue, posing a substantial public health threat. Bangladesh, with its favorable conditions for
Dengue transmission, has experienced periodic outbreaks. This study explores the relationship between climate change knowledge, perceptions of the
Dengue-climate link, and the associated factors among Bangladeshi youth.
UNASSIGNED: In the Dhaka district of Bangladesh, a cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2023, involving face-to-face interviews with 1,358 participants. Convenient (non-probability) sampling was utilized for participant selection. Data collection involved the administration of a semi-structured questionnaire encompassing informed consent, socio-demographic information, and inquiries pertaining to climate change-related knowledge (13 items) and perception (11 items). Data analysis utilized STATA (Version 15.0) and SPSS (Version 26.0).
UNASSIGNED: The mean scores for knowledge and perceptions were determined to be 7.10 ± 3.20 (out of 13) and 26.60 ± 4.12 (out of 33) respectively. Participants had a mean age of 22.02 ± 1.58 years. The study revealed that unmarried status, living in a nuclear family, being a non-smoker, good self-perception of physical health, regular sleep patterns, moderate social media usage, older age, unemployment, and daily media consumption are factors associated with higher knowledge and perception regarding the
Dengue-climate change link. Moreover, a positive association was observed between knowledge of climate change and favorable attitudes toward the Dengue-climate connection.
UNASSIGNED: This study underscores the importance of tailored climate change education for youth in Bangladesh and highlights key variables influencing their knowledge and perceptions. Notably, there exists a positive association between climate change knowledge and favorable attitudes toward the Dengue-climate connection. These insights underscore the importance of targeted educational campaigns and policy interventions aimed at enhancing climate consciousness among the youth population, thereby fostering proactive measures to mitigate the impact of
Dengue fever in the context of climate change.
