摘要
目的:比较社区卫生服务中心和性病专科医院的阴道分泌物异常就诊者求医行为和首诊选择医疗机构的原因。方法:选择2005年5~11月山东省济南市清河社区卫生服务中心妇产科门诊和2005年7~9月山东省皮肤病性病防治研究所性病门诊初次就诊的阴道分泌物异常就诊者。采用半封闭式问卷。问卷内容包括人口学特征、STD/HIV知识和求医行为、既往性病和性行为史、安全套使用等。结果:阴道分泌物异常就诊者首次求医时间平均为14.20天,53.5%在7天内。社区门诊就诊者7天内首诊的比例高于性病专科(66.4%,40.4%,P〈0.001)。21.1%社区门诊和49.0%性病专科就诊者本次就诊前曾求诊于其它医疗机构。对就诊医疗机构的信任是首诊求医的最主要原因。结论:在社区内应宣传生理健康相关知识和提高妇女对症状的认识水平,提高性病医疗机构的服务质量有助于促进有症状患者早求医。
