To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and influencing factors of practices among Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive populations in rural China, and to provide a reference basis for adopting effective health education and health promotion strategies.
From October to December 2024, a multistage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 168 administrative villages (neighborhood committees) from 27 rural counties across four provinces (Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Henan) as the study areas. All rural residents underwent H. pylori infection testing via the 13C-urea breath test, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among 16 144 individuals who were identified as H. pylori-positive. Cluster analysis and Logistic regression were utilized to assess the current status of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and to identify behavioral influencing factors among the H. pylori-positive population.
The standardized scores for the knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions among the H. pylori-positive population were (0.69±0.29), (0.91±0.15), and (0.73±0.15) points, respectively. K-means cluster analysis revealed that 27.99%, 5.49%, and 15.59% of the surveyed participants exhibited low levels in the knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions, respectively. Based on knowledge and attitude levels, the population was categorized into four distinct characteristic groups: high knowledge-high attitude, low knowledge-high attitude, high knowledge-low attitude, and low knowledge-low attitude. The multivariate analysis results indicated that compared to the low knowledge-low attitude level group, the high knowledge-high attitude level group had a higher behavioral dimension level (OR=6.45, 95% CI: 5.45-6.83), followed by the low knowledge-high attitude level group (OR=2.48, 95% CI: 2.09-2.95). Compared to males, females had a higher behavioral dimension level (OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.33-1.60). Compared to farmers, non-farmer occupational groups had a higher behavioral dimension level (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.18-1.44).
The H. pylori-positive population in rural areas demonstrates relatively positive attitudes but suboptimal knowledge and health practices. It is recommended to implement precise stratified intervention strategies tailored to different population characteristics. Emphasis should be placed on groups with low knowledge-low attitude and high knowledge-low attitude to enhance their cognitive levels and risk awareness. This approach provides evidence-based strategic support for the comprehensive prevention and control of H. pylori infection and gastric cancer in rural areas.
