Abstract:
[Objective] To explore effects of strengthening intervention on the knowledge of AIDS prevention and control among construction workers in Nanhui area, and its risk factors.
[Methods] A total of 657 construction workers were randomly selected from 6 construction sites in Nanhui area, and were divided into two groups:general intervention group (only brochures were provided) and strengthening intervention group (brochures, display panel, DVD and face-to-face interview were provided).
[Results] There was no statistical significance in AIDS knowledge between the two groups before the interventions (P > 0.05), while there was statistical significance in AIDS knowledge between the two groups(P < 0.01) after the interventions, and the rising amplitude in the strengthening intervention group was significantly higher than in the general intervention group; the older, less educated and with lower income the worker was, the better intervention effects would be achieved.
[Conclusion] It is an effective measure to improve AIDS knowledge among construction workers by strengthening intervention. Meanwhile, such intervention should be repeated and intensified so as to avoid the oblivion of mastered knowledge.
