Press conference on the health literacy survey of Chinese medicine

Xiaoxiang wu:

Time relationship, we here today with interactive media friends, thank you very much for the attention of Chinese citizens' health literacy level of traditional Chinese medicine, if want to further understand the problem can contact our press office. Improve people's health literacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and guide people to develop healthy lifestyles with Chinese characteristics, has been our efforts in the direction of, also hope our media friends, as always support our work of traditional Chinese medicine, and we will cultural knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, health care methods and skills in every ordinary people. Thanks again for your media friends and experts. I wish you a happy New Year, good health and good work. Today's press conference is over. Thank you very much!

Tan Wei:

I just add that mentioned the scientific decision-making, rate of traditional Chinese medicine health culture in 2016 highlighted the problem, this for our next decision will have a big impact, also include the appropriate method of traditional Chinese medicine, in fact the overall rate of action than a slight growth in 2014, increased by 7%, from 45% in 2014, is now 52%. This year we have adopted a more rigorous method to judge whether his action, and gave him a five variables, according to the survey, about 30% by accident and accidental action, the cognition on this from your behavior is also a little bit, just you know it, trust it, today will remember to exercise, or to pay attention to today, but can't form a regular behavior. About 30 percent of the population is in the middle of the swing group, which we can use to encourage him to use the health care method of traditional Chinese medicine. Data like this can be further explored.

Chad loyalty:

One is that our overall level is still going to improve. We are doing the overall work, while strengthening the weak links and focusing on the targeted groups. Through this survey, we found that the quality of the elderly is not high, which will be a focus of our future work. In regional terms, the gap between urban and rural areas, though in the narrow, this aspect is still weak in rural areas, the average difference of 5% with us, is low compared to the city by half, or key so the rural areas. In the context of the rural revitalization strategy, we need to think about how to service rural revitalization strategy and improve the healthy cultural quality of TCM in rural areas.

From the perspective of the whole work channel, medical and health institutions are our main channels, which are the main places for people to acquire and contact the knowledge of TCM health culture. In fact, how many people go to the hospital all day? The main place of health and popularization should be his life and work place. Now, schools, communities, units and medical institutions, the lowest is work, it shows that we are using work environment to promote knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is not enough, gave us a hint.

I would advise the administration to send the survey report to the provinces (district, city), and now the data between provinces and provinces is very different, which gives us a clue to the work. We often say that scientific decision making is an important basis for our scientific decision making, and there are many worthy of our digging and reference.

China's business times:

The results of the survey on the health and cultural literacy of traditional Chinese medicine, what is the value and referential guiding role for the future popularization of education in Chinese medicine culture?

Tan Wei:

Another change is the area between the distribution, is the difference between the eastern Midwest, the eastern region in general has been relatively high, the eastern part of the residents' health literacy level of traditional Chinese medicine in 2016 was 16.59%, increased by 5.78% compared with 2014, the central region in 2016 was 11.61%, compared with 2014 increased by 3.03%, while the western region in 2016 was 9.48%, compared with 2014 increased by 3.08%, growth was 53.47%, 35.31% and 48.13% respectively, the growth of the eastern or the fastest, but you can see the growth of the western region is the second, is significantly higher than the central region, close to the east. This is an improvement that we have seen in a weak link in the west, which also reflects a larger improvement in overall literacy level this year. From the point of input-output ratio, we improve the short board, the benefit of it would be more obvious, that between the boards and between urban and rural areas of the boards, by contrast, there is a significant performance, this is we think in the region and the change of one of the important differences between groups. So that's the basic report.

Tan Wei:

I will continue to answer this question. First of all, from the region, the director also basically mentioned that the difference between urban and rural areas is obviously shrinking, to what extent? In 2014, the city's literacy level reached 13.83% and rural areas only 3.3%. So the gap should be about four times that. In 2016, according to the city level is 18.21%, the countryside is 9%, respectively, have improved, but increased by 4.38% and 5.7% respectively, growth has very big difference, the city is 31.67%, and in rural areas is 172.73%, so it makes the gap between the urban and rural in significantly reduced. The difference from about four times the difference is one to two, and this is a change that shows up.

Chinese traditional Chinese medicine newspaper:

Just as mentioned in the report compared with the first survey, the 2016 national overall level has been improved, also mentioned structure between the regions with bigger improvement, my problem is that the 2016 survey of literacy level, region and the differences between the population and, specific have what kind of change?

Tan Wei:

The second question is about the post-90s generation. We are also very concerned about the future of TCM, because more of the future is in the hands of young people. As I mentioned earlier, the highest among the overall literacy level is 25-34. In fact, the level of literacy among the ages of 15-24 is also higher, just slightly lower than that. This data gives us an important reminder that the age of 25 is already 90, and the largest 90 is the age of 27, indicating that such groups are still recognized and recognized for TCM. And just mentioned in the report basic situation of TV is the first media of health culture, we also analyze other media, also investigated books, newspapers, radio, Internet and mobile media, and other forms of new media, we see that after 90 people, they prefer to use mobile media to accept, that is to say, to accept the channel is not the same, and he likes to form is different also, in fact, the way they participate in and dissemination of information and receive information with the rest of the population have their own age group. After 90 can put medlar tea, of course, is a kind of new fashion, is also a very interesting phenomenon, because of the culture itself has a cyclical change, may be feel fall behind for a period of time in front of the things, again over a period of time to think it is a new trend, new fashion, which we found some problems.

Tan Wei:

In addition, the way we survey tools is to adopt a more authoritative and classical method, which is the same as health literacy, which is answered by questionnaires. A young man reads a long professional questionnaire and then replies that it takes about 15 to 30 minutes or so, and the elderly may take an hour or so. Lasting attention this information for such a long time, and the correct understanding and answer the question, are all need certain physical strength and condition, including all aspects and vision, so we want to is very complex, this situation also suggest we can further follow the crowd, also give us next how to create and provide effective, more suitable for the elderly health knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine materials, made a very important reminder. May we have completed 9-year compulsory education, junior middle school graduate student, not difficult to read information, for some people, especially some knowledge of the cultural level of the elderly is relatively poor, may not be suitable for such kind of information. He may also need more accessible and vivid ways to influence him.

Tan Wei:

In addition, through the data in turn analysis, the elderly are very interested in the information about health care and love, but love does not directly represent the level of literacy. There is a 30% difference between the confidence rate and the rate of action mentioned above. Now a lot of media dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine keeping in good health knowledge, including the media, personal media in the spread, including micro letter friends in forwarding, communicators, and the good and bad are intermingled, the old man's discrimination ability is not high. This is the reason why we analyze the general level of literacy of the elderly relative to the general level. It also suggests that this is more than 80000 people nationwide large sample survey, and nearly half of the survey of rural point, at the same time covering the eastern, central and western three areas, that is to say economic developed area, also has the economy is not developed area, has a convenient transportation, traffic is not convenient also, the media is very prosperous areas, there are also some may accept information area of knowledge is not so easy. When we were looking at the information, we found that some of the seven mass media covered about 14 percent of the population, and some people didn't receive one. The conditions for each person's information are different. From the point of social factors, the older population distribution is relatively complex, may be in developed areas in the west, or, as well as rural people also accounted for a relatively larger proportion, and we generally imagine go-getters older population and living conditions better than older population still have certain differences. We mainly analyze from such aspects.

Tan Wei:

Thank you for your questions. The first answer to this question is to answer the question of why older people are more likely to have an impression of our level of literacy. We also found that the data was very typical and very special, and we analyzed it further. First of all, group by several age group, the highest level of accomplishment is the relatively young group, 25-34 years old. We are divided into two age groups: 60-65 and 65, the highest is 69. Among them, 60 to 65 years old, the newly retired age group is relatively low, about 9 percent, and another 1 percent rebound in the oldest age group. The overall findings are consistent with 2014 and reflect that the results are not accidental, but they are in fact. We have the concept of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine, healthy lifestyle, cultural knowledge understanding, appropriate method and information in the five aspects, found that the biggest difference is the information of the comparison process understanding ability. Just mentioned, people around the age of 25 and 34 he understanding of information literacy level can reach 35%, but also such a dimension test, you can see the elderly people understanding information literacy level is about 12% less than him, this is an obvious difference. And that's consistent with our perception of this population, which is that older people have a relatively poor understanding of information. Further analysis of the people education level of structure, the survey data show that for literacy, education degree has been a significant correlation, and is perfectly match with other large investigation. We over the years, especially after the founding of new China, our people education level is relatively in increasing year by year, especially in the nine-year compulsory education, etc., as well as the new generation of people's average education level is higher, but the older population as a whole education level is relatively lower than or is obviously lower than that of young and middle-aged people.

Health reporter:

The question was given to two experts. Mentioned the survey covered a large age, my this problem related to different age groups, the first is the old people is we usually think that letter, know the ages of the Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, but in fact the old Chinese medicine according to the survey of health literacy in the midst of the crowd is not average or above average, even lower, can ask an expert to help us to analyze, what is the cause of this situation. The second one is about the age group, which is 90, because the most recent hot word in the Internet is 90 and it's all started drinking goji berries. We also want to know in particular, have found in the process of investigation for this age literacy, or their action orientation of traditional Chinese medicine, the trend of this aspect have some special or data can be Shared with us? thank you

Li li:

The survey also received high attention from local governments at all levels, formed a special investigation team, strictly implemented the investigation plan, and successfully completed various monitoring tasks according to the technical route. The investigation is completed, and a random process, provincial and national level we respectively makes a review of part of the survey once found suspicious, deals we will instruct them to investigate immediately, so from the beginning to the end of quality control is throughout all the time.

In data processing and the final part, we through specialized input data, data entry software for double entry check and correct input, through the logical inspection check raw material and so on methods of data cleaning. At the end of the analysis, it's not easy to add a couple of Numbers. We analyze the data through a complex sampling weighted method. In simple terms, we surveyed more than 80000 people, but it's more than 80000 people to represent 10 hundreds of millions of people across the country, we will be according to these people is pumped to the probability, according to the population structure, men and women, gender, age, according to the reduction of population structure back, to get a more accurate data. In conclusion, we from the sampling design, the implementation, the design of the data analysis and so on each link closely, strictly controlled, to ensure the data to a great extent scientific, objective, authentic, effective, and provide reliable basis for decision-making in our country. thank you

Li li:

This time, we combined the experience of the quality monitoring and the actual demand of the health culture survey of traditional Chinese medicine, and completed the design and technical training of the sampling plan. The survey covered 328 monitoring sites across the country, all of which were extracted using random computer sampling. Including 170 urban monitoring points and 158 rural test points, the proportion of urban and rural areas is also as close as possible to the actual population, so as to ensure a better representation of the respondents.

At the local level, the department of traditional Chinese medicine management and health education professional institutions at all levels have been employed as the implementation unit of the on-site investigation to complete the entry work. Health education team at the grass-roots level is also undertake the task of residents' health literacy monitoring for a long time, they are familiar with work process, and research skills, there is a wealth of experience, the technology is also good, is completely can be competent TCM health literacy survey task.

Li li:

Traditional Chinese medicine health culture actually and health literacy survey, are a large sample of the nationwide survey, in order to ensure the quality of large sample survey, from the start to determine the multi-sectoral cooperation, interdisciplinary cooperation, and the popularization of the advanced experience and the traditional Chinese medicine
