Abstract:Objective To investigate the literacy level of chronic disease prevention and control and its influencing factors among urban and rural residents in Ningbo City in 2015 so as to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of chronic diseases. Methods A stratified multistage sampling method and probability proportionate to size sampling(PPS)method were used in this survey from September to October, 2015. We randomly selected 8 counties (cities or districts) in Ningbo City to serve as the monitoring points, and then 4 communities and 4 villages (8 communities instead in monitoring points located in the central downtown without rural areas) were randomly selected in each monitoring point. We made the maps of the selected communities (villages) and the household form, and selected 140 households in each selected community (village) using simply random sampling method. Kish sampling method was used for door-to-door household survey, and then a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted in 1 interviewee selected from each household. 100 questionnaires in each selected community (village) were filled out. The National Residents’ Health Literacy Monitoring Questionnaire in 2015 which was designed by China Health Education Center was used for the face-to-face questionnaire survey, and 5,843 questionnaires were actually retrieved. Results The literacy level of chronic disease prevention and control in the residents in Ningbo City in 2015 was 11.23%. The level was higher in the urban areas than in the rural areas(χ2=30.08, P<0.05), higher in the staff who worked for public institutions than in the residents with other occupations (χ2=84.89, P<0.05), higher in the residents without chronic diseases than in the ones with chronic diseases (χ2=15.16, P<0.05) as well as higher in the residents with high income than in the ones with low income (χ2=53.61, P<0.05). It was the highest in the age group of 25-34 years and gradually decreased with the increasing age after 35 years old(χ2=67.97, P<0.05). Conclusions The higher the educational background, the higher the literacy level of chronic disease prevention and control(χ2=142.81, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared to the illiterates/less literate people, those with better educational backgrounds had higher literacy level of chronic disease prevention and control(OR=5.363,P<0.05). Conclusions The literacylevel of chronic disease prevention and control in the residents in Ningbo City still needs to be improved. Farmers in the rural areas, middle-aged and elderly people and residents with poor educational backgrounds, lower income and chronic diseases are still the key population for conducting health education concerning chronic disease prevention and control.
