目的：2006年3月，以色列9个农村定居点销毁了感染禽流感的298 000只家禽，而在这些定居点内和半径3公里内销毁的家禽约为120万只。已指示全国人民采取预防措施，防止感染的蔓延。本研究的目的是比较的情绪，兴趣，知识和遵守感，在受影响的地区与全国范围内的一般人群的人口，在第一阶段的禽流感爆发在Israel.Methods：我们进行了电话调查，两个随机选择的，有代表性的成年人样本。一个样本涉及全国范围内的500名成年居民;另一个样本涉及疫情第一阶段受影响地区的103名成年居民。我们测量了感知的情绪，兴趣，知识感和依从性。我们使用卡方和t检验分析了受影响地区和全国人口之间这些参数的差异。P值小于0.05被认为是统计学显着。结果：使用预防措施的依从性是高的，没有显着差异，在受影响的地区和全国人口。疫区人群对禽流感的兴趣和知识知晓率显著高于全国人群（p < 0.05）。与疫区相比，全国范围内的人群对人与人之间的高传播的误解明显更高（p < 0.05）。结论：禽流感暴发初期，疫区人群的兴趣、知识和情绪与国内一般人群相比存在差异。当局必须考虑这些差异，白色计划在禽流感爆发的早期阶段的人口教育战略。(c)2007年，英国传染病协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objective: In March 2006, 298,000 cases of birds infected with bird flu were destroyed in nine rural settlements in Israel, out of around 1.2 million birds that were destroyed within these settlements and in a radius of 3 km. The nationwide population was instructed to take preventive measures against the spread of infection. This study aims to compare the emotions, interest, sense of knowledge and compliance, of the population in the affected area with the nationwide general population, during the first phase of a bird flu outbreak in Israel.Methods: We conducted a telephone survey among two randomly selected, representative samples of adults. One sample involved 500 adult residents of the nationwide area; and the other sample involved 103 adult residents of the affected area during the first phase of the outbreak. We measured perceived emotions, interest, sense of knowledge and compliance. We analyzed the differences in these parameters between the affected area and the nationwide population using chi-square and t-test analysis. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The compliance for using measures of precaution was high and not significantly different between the affected area and the nationwide population. The interest in bird flue and the sense of knowledge were significantly higher in the affected area compared to the nationwide population (p < 0.05). A misconception of a high human to human transmission was significantly higher in the nationwide population compared with the affected area (p < 0.05). The levels of stress and fear perception were significantly tower in the affected area compared to the nationwide population (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Interest, sense of knowledge and emotions of the population are different in the affected area during the early phase of bird flu outbreak compared with the general population in the same country. Authorities must consider these differences white planning the strategy of population education during the early phase of a bird flu outbreak. (c) 2007 The British Infection Society.
