To understand the status quo of children’s obesity health literacy among parents of primary school students in Yangzhou City, analyze related influencing factors, and put forward new ideas for optimizing health education of childhood obesity prevention and control.
Stratified cluster random sampling was used to randomly select 1 street from each of the 6 counties (cities and districts) in Yangzhou City, and then randomly select 4 primary schools from each street, and randomly select at least 1 class from each grade (grades 1-6) in each primary school. Questionnaire survey was conducted on parents of the students in the whole class.
A total of 6 097 parents of primary school students were surveyed, among whom 3 615 reached the standard of health literacy, the rate of reaching the standard was 59.29%. The compliance rates of health cognition, health behavior, health knowledge, operation skills and health consciousness were 66.54%, 41.68%, 69.99%, 44.89% and 32.97%, respectively. According to χ2 test, there were significant differences in parents’ health literacy attainment rates among different places of residence, age, occupation, education level, family income, relationship with children, and student weight status (all P values <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residence, educational level, occupation and students’ weight status were the influencing factors of parents’ childhood obesity health literacy. Living in towns and villages (OR=1.223, 95%CI: 1.092-1.369) , profession of production/manufacturing/repair industry (OR=1.353, 95%CI: 1.059-1.729) and jobless person (OR=1.514, 95%CI: 1.126-2.036) or others (OR=1.404, 95%CI: 1.112-1.773), and students’ weight status as obesity (OR=1.203, 95%CI: 1.060-1.366) are risk factors for childhood obesity health literacy of primary school parents, and parents’ education of high school or above (OR=0.265-0.649, 95%CI: 0.133-0.752) are protective factors for childhood obesity health literacy of primary school parents.
The parents of primary school students in our city have a high level of obesity health literacy, but a low rate of health behavior, operation skills and health awareness. In the process of child obesity prevention and control education, it is necessary to pay attention to the parents of students living in towns and villages, with low education level, unemployment and parents of obese students, and carry out targeted health education activities.
