Abstract

Objective To understand the integrated ability of parasitic disease prevention and control of professional personnel of Jiangsu Province through the contest. Methods Totally 56 players from the whole province were selected, and all the players participated in the contest. The theory knowledge and skill scores were collected and the statistical analyses were conducted. Results The average theoretical score of the participants was 88.86±15.56 and the passing rate was 91.1%. The average skill operating score was 69.16±16.01 and the passing rate was 67.9%. The average Plasmodium microscopy score was 16.54±8.09 and the passing rate was 50%. The average helminth egg microscopy score was 34.27±10.66 and the passing rate was 67.9%. There were statistical differences among the age groups and different levels of schistosomiasis endemic situation (F = 5.10, 6.39, both P < 0.01). The theoretical knowledge including schistosomiasis, malaria, hydatid disease and others and the score rates were 91.07%, 90.94%, 85.83% and 90.93%, respectively. The hydatid disease score rate was lower (χ2 = 19.17, P < 0.01). The radar chart displayed that the score rates of tabletting and microscopy test in Kato-Katz film production, malaria blood film production and microscopy test were all low. Conclusion In Jiangsu Province, the participants have higher score in the theory test. However, they have lower skill test score, especially in the parasite species identification. The operational skills still need to be strengthened for center for disease control (CDC) participants.

[摘要]目的 通过寄生虫病防治技术竞赛了解江苏省寄生虫病防治专业人员的业务能力。方法 于2013年在江苏省组织各级疾控机构专业技术人员参加寄生虫病防治技术竞赛, 对参赛选手得分情况进行分析。结果 共56名参赛选手, 理论成绩为88.86±15.56分, 及格率为91.1%; 技能操作成绩为69.16±16.01分, 及格率为67.9%。技能操作成绩中, 疟原虫镜检成绩为16.54±8.09分, 及格率为50%; 加藤片厚涂片镜检成绩为34.27±10.66分, 及格率为67.9%。分层分析, 31~40岁组及血防高流行区选手的理论成绩相对较高 (F = 5.10、6.39, P均< 0.01)。血吸虫病、疟疾、包虫病和其他等4方面得分率分别为91.07%、90.94%、85.83%和90.93%, 包虫病得分率较低 (χ2 = 19.17, P < 0.01)。雷达图显示, 加藤厚涂片制作技能与镜检读片、疟原虫血片制片染色技术及疟原虫其他镜检读片得分率均较低。结论 江苏省参赛选手理论成绩较高, 但技能操作较低, 尤其是寄生虫虫种鉴定仍是薄弱环节; 参赛选手操作技能仍需加强。 [关键词]寄生虫病; 防治; 评估; 竞赛.
