客观的。先天性巨细胞病毒（CMV）感染是听力损失和智力障碍的常见原因。我们评估了 CMV 知识和女性行为的频率，这些行为可能使 CMV 传播为向女性传达预防信息的策略提供信息。方法。我们分析了 2010 年 HealthStyles 调查中 4184 名参与者（2181 名女性，2003 名男性）的调查回复，这是一项旨在与美国人口相似的全国性邮件调查。结果。只有 7% 的男性和 13% 的女性听说过先天性 CMV。有 19 岁以下孩子的女性 (n = 918) 在最小的孩子还穿着尿布时每周至少进行一次以下危险行为：亲吻嘴唇 (69%)、共用餐具 (42%)、共用杯子 (37%) 和共用食物 (62%)。女性大部分时间或总是在更换脏尿布（95%）、更换湿尿布（85%）或擦孩子鼻子（65%）之后进行保护性的手部清洁行为，但在处理孩子的玩具（26%）后则不太常见。结论。很少有女性意识到巨细胞病毒，并且在与幼儿互动时，大多数女性经常做出可能使她们面临危险的行为。应告知妇女可降低怀孕期间巨细胞病毒感染风险的做法。由爱思唯尔公司出版
Objective. Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a common cause of hearing loss and intellectual disability. We assessed CMV knowledge and the frequency of women's behaviors that may enable CMV transmission to inform strategies for communicating prevention messages to women.Methods. We analyzed survey responses from 4184 participants (2181 women, 2003 men) in the 2010 HealthStyles survey, a national mail survey designed to be similar to the United States population.Results. Only 7% of men and 13% of women had heard of congenital CMV. Women with children under age 19 (n = 918) practiced the following risk behaviors at least once per week while their youngest child was still in diapers: kissing on the lips (69%), sharing utensils (42%), sharing cups (37%), and sharing food (62%). Women practiced protective, hand cleansing behaviors most of the time or always after: changing a dirty diaper (95%), changing a wet diaper (85%), or wiping the child's nose (65%), but less commonly after handling the child's toys (26%).Conclusions. Few women are aware of CMV and most regularly practice behaviors that may place them at risk when interacting with young children. Women should be informed of practices that can reduce their risk of CMV infection during pregnancy. Published by Elsevier Inc.
