Abstract

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to assess the understanding of the knowledge of hepatitis C prevention and treatment among hepatitis C patients and analyze the related factors, to provide a basis for future hepatitis C prevention and treatment. Methods From July to September, 2022, a survey was conducted among hepatitis C patients in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province and Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. We collected information on the demographic characteristics and knowledge of hepatitis C prevention and treatment of the surveyed patients. The χ² test was used to compare the differences in knowledge of hepatitis C prevention and treatment among patients with different characteristics. A multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with patients′ knowledge of hepatitis C prevention and treatment. Results A total of 486 questionnaires were collected, and 483 were valid. Among them, 65.22% (315) were males and 34.78% (168) were females. The average rate of knowledge was 62.66%, with the lowest single-question knowledge rate of 32.71% and the highest of 81.37%. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that women [β=-0.729 (95% CI: -1.311--0.147), P=0.014], age ≥50 years [β=-0.635 (95% CI: -1.205--0.065), P=0.029], farmers or migrant workers [β=-1.139 (95% CI: -1.992--0.286, P=0.009], those who did not know the route of their infection [β=-0.970 (95% CI: -1.577--0.362), P=0.002], those who did not receive hepatitis C education [β=-1.648 (95% CI: -2.224--1.073), P < 0 001], and those who did not know they had hepatitis C [β=-1.097 (95% CI: -2.094--0.010), P=0.031] had lower awareness rates. Conclusions The understanding of Hepatitis C prevention and treatment among diagnosed hepatitis C patients was suboptimal and was influenced by factors such as gender, age, occupation, infection route, hepatitis C education, and disease awareness. There is a need for increased educational efforts to improve the knowledge of these populations.
