Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore and evaluate effects of comprehensive intervention on KAP regarding H7N9 avian influenza in poultry practitioners.MethodsPoultry practitioners were selected by cluster random sampling method in Sanshui District, Foshan City, intervened using comprehensive measures, and surveyed before and after the intervention. Survey contents included knowledge, risk perception attitudes, and personal protective behavior regarding H7N9 avian influenza. ResultsThe average scores of knowledge, risk perception attitudes, and personal protective behavior held by the subjects regarding H7N9 avian influenza were 7.05 and 11.28 before and after the intervention (P<0.01). After intervention the awareness rates of knowledge regarding H7N9 avian influenza in poultry practitioners were improved in different degrees (all P<0.01), of which the awareness rate of knowing that "Different batches of poultry should be kept separately" increased the greatest by 50.67%. The proportions of correct attitude to risk perception regarding H7N9 avian influenza held by poultry practitioners increased in different degrees after the intervention (all P<0.01), of which the rate of cognitive attitude to that "The ventilation equipment should be installed in the stalls" increased the greatest by 53.88%. After the intervention their correct personal protective behaviors had different degrees of improvement (all P<0.01), of which the behavior to "wear gloves when working" increased the greatest by 19.67%. ConclusionComprehensive interventions had significant effect on improving rates of knowledge and awareness, right attitude, and personal protective behavior held by the poultry practitioners regarding H7N9 avian influenza.
