西昌市家长幼儿性教育培训需求现状及影响因素分析OA

Objective To understand the demand of parents in Xichang city for the sexuality education training of young children,analyze its influencing factors,and then put forward corresponding health education strategies.Methods Through cluster random sampling,8 kindergartens were selected in Xichang city,Sichuan province.The knowledge,attitude and practice scale for sexuality education of young children was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among parents of young children.The chi-square test and the multivariate Logistic regres-sion model were used for data analysis.Results Among the 1 496 parents,the demand rates for kindergarten teacher training and expert training were 53.5%and 46.3%,respectively,and the total demand rate for train-ing was 65.4%.The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher paternal educational level(OR=1.42,95%CI=1.11-1.82,P=0.006),female parenthood(OR=1.71,95%CI=1.28-2.28,P<0.001),positive attitude(OR=1.64,95%CI=1.24-2.15,P<0.001),willingness to partici-pate in school-based early childhood sex education with children(OR=2.44,95%CI=1.67-3.49,P<0.001),and more diverse sources of knowledge(OR=15.32,95%CI=5.49-42.79,P<0.001)were pos-itive predictors of parents'overall demand for training.Conversely,children's prior participation in sex educa-tion-related courses at school(OR=0.57,95%CI=0.38-0.85,P=0.006)was a negative predictor of such demand.Conclusions The parents in Xichang city have high demand for the sexuality education training of young children but limited ways to knowledge sources.It is recommended that sexuality education training courses both online and offline should be developed according to the characteristics of parents'needs,and the contents,methods,and ways of health education should be optimized.Special attention should be paid to the health educa-tion for male parents,parents with low educational attainment,parents with a passive attitude,and parents who have cognitive misunderstandings about or lack knowledge of children's sexuality education.Efforts should be made to popularize sexuality education knowledge,enhance parents'ability to conduct sexuality education for young children,and improve the quality of family sexuality education through home-school cooperation,thus cre-ating a healthy growth environment for young children.
