Coordinating family and school prevention strategies significantly enhances children's protection against respiratory infections. This holistic approach improves parental prevention measures (PPM), vaccination concerns (CPV), school measures (SPM), and children's self-protection (CSPP).
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Child Health
Background:
- Pediatric respiratory infections are influenced by family, school, and community factors.
- A comprehensive approach is crucial for effective prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel preventive model for pediatric respiratory infections.
- To analyze the interrelationships among key influencing factors.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional survey utilizing a structured questionnaire.
- Structural equation modeling (SEM) to test hypotheses and relationships.
- 2420 parents of children aged 3-16 years participated.
Main Results:
- Parental prevention measures (PPM) directly influenced vaccination concerns (CPV), school measures (SPM), and children's self-protection (CSPP).
- SPM mediated the relationship between PPM and both CPV and CSPP, showing significant indirect effects.
- The model demonstrated a strong fit, confirming a double mediation effect.
Conclusions:
- Coordinated prevention strategies between families and schools are highly effective.
- The developed model provides a robust framework for pediatric respiratory infection prevention.
- Further research into family-school health education models is recommended.
