Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the levels of knowledge and skills in infectious diseases among school doctors and health teachers in Beijing's primary and secondary schools in 2023, and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide a reference basis for enhancing the professional competencies of school doctors and health teachers. Methods From October to November 2023, a census method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among all school doctors and health teachers in 16 districts of Beijing. Chi-square tests and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used perform statistical analysis. Results The awareness rate of infectious disease-related knowledge among school doctors and health teachers in primary and secondary schools in Beijing in 2023 ranged from 34.44% to 98.57%, while the behavior formation rate ranged from 65.90% to 98.64%. The proportions of those with literacy in infectious disease knowledge and behavior among school doctors and health teachers were 82.76% and 85.70%, respectively. Multivariate Logistics regression analysis showed that being a full-time employee, having a bachelor's degree or above, and holding a senior professional title were positively correlated with having literacy in infectious disease knowledge (OR=1.76, 2.57, 1.42, P < 0.01). Compared to medical professionals, those in education and other professions were negatively correlated with having literacy in infectious disease knowledge (OR=0.37, 0.55, P < 0.01). Being a full-time employee, being female, and age were positively correlated with having literacy in infectious disease behavior (OR=1.66, 2.18, 1.02, P < 0.01). Conclusions The level of health literacy for infectious diseases among school doctors in Beijing primary and secondary schools is relatively high. Targeted training on key professional knowledge and skills should be prioritized for individuals with deficiencies in infectious disease prevention and control.
