説明

<p>Hepatitis E infection poses a serious health problem in developing countries. Hepatitis E vaccination is important for prevention, but it is influenced by residents’ knowledge. Qingdao residents’ knowledge of hepatitis E remains unknown. This study used an online survey on the WeChat platform. The chi-square test was used to compare the hepatitis E influencing factors between the subgroups. Binary logistic regression was used for multiple factor analysis to explore the hepatitis E influencing factors. The total awareness rate of hepatitis E was 60.51%. Females aged between 51 and 60, aged 61 and above, and working in government-affiliated departments were found to have higher awareness rates than other subgroups. Participants with family members infected with hepatitis E had a lower awareness rate. The government and relevant departments should focus on education regarding the hepatitis E vaccination and disease process.</p>
