Abstract：Objective To investigate the coping capacity and knowledge demand for influenza among middle school students so as to provide a basis for strengthening health education on coping with influenza in middle school students. Methods A random cluster sampling method was used to select eighth and eleventh graders from 5 middle schools of 5 districts in Changsha City, Hunan Province. Self-designed questionnaires were employed to survey the students’ awareness of basic knowledge, coping attitude and coping behavior of influenza, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results Influenza knowledge of the middle school students in Changsha City was mainly acquired by passively following the arrangement of schools or teachers, accounting for 55.97%. The total awareness rate of basic knowledge of influenza was 70.75%. There were statistically significant differences in the prevention and management behavior of influenza between boys and girls (P<0.05). Overall, the total awareness rate of basic knowledge of influenza in senior high school students was higher than that in junior middle school students (P<0.05); but as for the prevention andmanagement behaviorof influenza, the differences were only found in the accuracy of selection of adequate sleep and vaccination (P<0.05), with a higher accuracy in senior high school students than in junior middle school students. Conclusions The acquisition of influenza knowledge among middle school students in Changsha City still needs to be improved. In addition, schools should strengthen the publicity and education of influenza knowledge, and guide students to actively acquire relevant knowledge and develop good health habits to prevent influenza.
