目的探讨不同服务对象特征与口服避孕药知识之间的关系。方法对苏格兰计划生育诊所国家审计数据进行分析。结果不同服务对象对不同服务对象的口服药知识知晓率存在显著差异。根据邮政编码，低教育程度、失业和更多的农村居民在避孕知识方面比社会剥夺产生更大的显著差异。年龄和服药时长对不同指标有不同程度的影响，但青少年得分相对一般人群较低，总体知识水平随服药时长的增加并不显著。临床医生必须思考如何更有效地与所有类型的避孕药使用者进行沟通。应以就诊为契机重复开药方，提高知识水平。
Objectives The primary objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between various client characteristics and knowledge of oral contraceptives amongst pill users.Method This was a subanalysis of the data from the national audit of Scottish family planning clinics.Results There were significant differences in knowledge about many different criteria according to the characteristics of the client group. Low educational attainment, unemployment and more rural residence produced greater significant differences in contraception knowledge than social deprivation according to postcode (zipcode). Age and duration of use affected different criteria to varying degress, but teenagers scored relatively poorly compared to the general population and knowledge did not significantly improve overall with duration of use.Conclusion Client characteristics do affect levels of pill knowledge. Clinicians must reflect on how to communicate more effectively with all types of pill users. They should take the opportunity of clinic visits for repeat pill prescriptions to improve knowledge levels.
