| Research ObjectiveThis study aims to find out the problems in college students’ AIDS health education andactively explore the effective AIDS health education mode, providing the basis for universities’health education on AIDS prevention, through surveying the AIDS knowledge and healtheducation needs of the college students in regions with high AIDS incidence and conducting thedescription and analysis on the universities’ health education condition.Research Object and Methods1. The research object: undergraduate students of a comprehensive university in the regionwith high AIDS incidence.2. The survey method: prevalence survey conducted by way of stratified cluster sampling.3. Questionnaire: designed in combination with the characteristics of college students throughreferring to the domestic similar research materials. The survey content mainly includes generaldemographic characteristics, AIDS and health related knowledge, AIDS health education needs aswell as the present situation of schools’ AIDS health education.4. Survey mode: the questionnaires should be answered in an anonymous, self-administeredmode and taken back on the spot.5. Assign the valid questionnaires taken back using uniform standard, adopt the Epidata3.0toestablish database and conduct a statistical analysis of the data in the SPSSl3.0software, with thesingle factor analysis using the t test, variance analysis and X2inspection, the multivariate analysis using binary classification logistic regression.Research Results1. General conditions: in this survey a total of2331questionnaires are given out and2316aretaken back, with the recovery rate of99.4%, and the number of valid questionnaires is2149, withthe effective rate of92.8%.2. The awareness condition of AIDS related knowledge: the awareness rate about AIDSrelated knowledge of the2149college students surveyed is59.38%, about transmission routes is62.27%, about AIDS prevention knowledge is63.06%, and about other knowledge of AIDS isonly52.50%. There are statistical differences in the scores on AIDS knowledge among people ofdifferent genders, different family sources, different grades, different month’s expenditures anddifferent types. Among the three kinds of AIDS related knowledge (transmission routes,prevention knowledge, and other knowledge), scores on other knowledge have no statisticaldifferences in people of different genders, different family sources and different month’sexpenditures, other than this, scores on both the first and second kinds of knowledge havestatistical differences in all aspects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis shows that thecontributing factors of the AIDS knowledge scores include the grade and category of the studentsas well as the judgment of AIDS prevalence condition.3. AIDS health education needs: almost50%of the university students surveyed think thatAIDS knowledge is not sufficient,37%of the students think that it is fairly enough, and another7%of them think they have already mastered AIDS knowledge. For the college students’ actualand desired sources of AIDS knowledge, the top three of both are the mass media, the relatedbooks and school education. Between the actual and desired sources of AIDS knowledge, there are differences in all aspects except for in the sources of related books and parents’ selection.Moreover, there are more people choose school education, medical personnel and telephonehotline consultation in desired sources, while there are more people choose the mass media likeTV, self-study, classmates and friends in actual sources. In addition, college students pay moreattention to the knowledge on the transmission routes, prevention, treatment, the currentprevalence situation and trend of AIDS, whereas they pay the least attention to the ethicknowledge of AIDS; what’s more,2.4%of the students think they don’t need to understand AIDSknowledge.4. Present situation of AIDS health education:60.9%of the college students surveyed haveheard of AIDS health education activities in forms of publicity column and leaflets,30.5%in formof seminars and as low as7.7%in form of companion education. Besides,22.2%of those studentseven have never heard of AIDS health education activities. In both college students’ actual anddesired choices in all kinds of health education activities, the top three ones are seminars, leafletsand network, and by comparison the students’ actual and desired health education activities are alldifferent. At present the faculty members of college students’ AIDS health education are mainlycomposed of college student volunteers who have accounted for67.5%of the whole. What’s more,73.7%of the students think that they should begin to receive the AIDS health education when theyare still freshman.60.3%of the college students surveyed believe the main problem of theuniversities’ AIDS health education is that the publicity content is not comprehensive;52.1%thinkthat the universities lack effective health education mode;50.5%hold that universities think littleof this education, conducting a few or even no related activities; and only8.8%are satisfied withthe education. Conclusion1. The school AIDS health education has many problems, so schools should actively developthis kind of education in order to deepen the understanding on the urgency and importance ofcollege students’ AIDS education and make the students build up the AIDS crisis consciousness.2. College students of different characteristics master AIDS knowledge differently, so theAIDS health education should be targeted and focused.3. College students have specific requirements for the ways, contents and activities forms ofAIDS health education, so the college students’ AIDS health education should combine with thepractical health education needs.4. College students have a low awareness rate about AIDS knowledge, and theirunderstanding of AIDS is somewhat vague, not in-depth and has errors, so college students’ AIDShealth education should be comprehensive, systematic and in-depth.5. This study explores and constructs the college AIDS health education system model guidedby AIDS crisis consciousness. |
