KIẾN THỨC VÀ THỰC HÀNH VỀ PHÒNG CHỐNG NHIỄM VIRUT VIÊM GAN B Ở ĐỒNG BÀO KHMER HUYỆN CẦU KÈ, TỈNH TRÀ VINH NĂM 2021

Abstract

Although there have been many studies on hepatitis B, however in general the proportion of people with correct knowledge and correct practices about prevention is still limited. Therefore, we have surveyed the knowledge and practice of hepatitis B virus infection prevention and control among Southern Khmer people in Tra Cu district, Tra Vinh province, in order to make some timely recommendations to improve the quality of life, awareness and behavior of all people. Research conducted on 342 Southern Khmer people from 18 to 60 years old shows that people with good general knowledge account for 9,7%, and good general practice is 28,4%. This result shows that people’s knowledge and practice on prevention of hepatitis B virus infection is still quite low, there is a relationship between good general knowledge and good general practice (p<0,05). Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen communication and health education on prevention of hepatitis B virus infection for all people.
