Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the sickness absenteeism among primary and middle school students in Nanjing during 2019-2021, so as to provide evidence for infectious diseases prevention and control in school settings. Methods Data on sickness absenteeism among primary and middle school students in Nanjing during 2019-2021 were collected through the Health Surveillance System of Students in Jiangsu. Descriptive analysis was conducted to compare the sickness absenteeism, symptoms and pathogeny, as well as time distribution among different terms and academic years. Results The overall sickness absenteeism during 2019-2021 were 0.25%, 0.39% and 0.73%(χ²=392 611.44, P < 0.01). The rate of sickness absenteeism in primary school was higher than that of middle schools across 2019 to 2021 (χ²=47 783.45, 20 935.07, 13 459.63, P < 0.01). The most common symptoms of sickness absenteeism were fever and cough. The leading cause of sickness absenteeism was influenza, followed by gastrointestinal diseases. In addition, unintentional injuries were currently the fourth leading cause. The peaks of absenteeism occurred during November to December and March to April in the 2019 and 2021. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the second peak in the 2020 academic year occurred in June. Conclusion The sickness absenteeism among primary and middle school students in Nanjing showed an increasing trend, and more attention should be paid to primary school students. Prevention efforts should focus on respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in schools, especially in winter and spring. It is of great significance to strengthen sickness absenteeism surveillance for future epidemic prevention and control in schools under normal conditions.
