| description | There has been limited research on the knowledge of and attitudes about herpes zoster in the Hong Kong population. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of patients aged 50 years or above towards herpes zoster and its vaccination.
This was a cross-sectional study in the format of a structured questionnaire interview carried out in Sai Ying Pun Jockey Club General Outpatient Clinic in Hong Kong. Knowledge of herpes zoster and its vaccination was assessed, and patient attitudes to and concerns about the disease were evaluated. Factors that affected a decision about vaccination against herpes zoster were investigated.
A total of 408 Hong Kong citizens aged 50 years or above were interviewed. Multiple regression analysis revealed that number of correct responses regarding knowledge about herpes zoster was positively correlated with educational attainment (B=0.313, P=0.026) and history of herpes zoster (B=0.408, P=0.038), and negatively correlated with age (B= -0.042, P |

Answers to several questions revealed a sizable number of misconceptions about the disease. Among all respondents, 35% stated that they were worried about getting the disease, and 17% would consider vaccination against herpes zoster.
Misconceptions about herpes zoster were notable in this study. More health education is needed to improve the understanding and heighten awareness of herpes zoster among the general public. Although the majority of participants indicated that herpes zoster would have a significant impact on their health, a relatively smaller proportion was actually worried about getting the disease. Further studies on this topic should be encouraged to gauge the awareness and knowledge of herpes zoster among broader age-groups.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1024-2708</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2226-8707</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.12809/hkmj165043</identifier><identifier>PMID: 28684648</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>China: Hong Kong Academy of Medicine</publisher><subject>Aged ; Chicken pox ; Chronic illnesses ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Demographics ; Disease ; Educational attainment ; FDA approval ; Female ; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice ; Herpes Zoster - prevention & control ; Herpes Zoster - psychology ; Herpes Zoster Vaccine - therapeutic use ; Hong Kong ; Humans ; Immunization ; Infections ; Knowledge ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Outpatients - psychology ; Population ; Questionnaires ; Regression analysis ; Statistical analysis ; Surveys and Questionnaires ; Vaccination - psychology ; Vaccines</subject><ispartof>Hong Kong medical journal = Xianggang yi xue za zhi, 2017-08, Vol.23 (4), p.365-373</ispartof><rights>2017.
