[Tracking evaluation on implementation of (GB 26345-2010) in Yunnan Province].

Objective: To understand the knowledge, usage, applicability of the standard and the suggestions on the implementation of (GB 26345-2010) among malaria prevention and control staff of disease control and medical institutions at all levels in Yunnan Province, so as to provide the evidence for the implementation and revision of the standard.

Methods: Malaria prevention and control workers at 192 institutions in 16 prefectures and cities of Yunnan Province were surveyed. The malaria prevention and treatment workers at county-level center for disease control and prevention (CDCs), county-level medical institutions and township hospitals in Tengchong City and Yingjiang County of Yunnan Province were investigated on the spot. The knowledge and usage, problems and recommendations encountered in the implementation of the standard were collected.

Results: Totally 444 questionnaires were collected, of which 428 were valid and the valid rate of questionnaires was 96.4%. Among them, the proportion of those who knew the standard was 86.7% (371/428), and the channel of knowledge acquirement was mainly the education and training, accounting for 50.7% (188/371). The total awareness rate of objective indicators in the standard content was 65.9% (282/428). Among the frequency of utilization, the "occasional use" of this standard was the majority, accounting for 33.6% (144/428). Among the applications, the highest proportion of applying to the "regular malaria prevention and control work" was 59.3% (191/322), and only 19.3% (62/322) applied to the "assessment for malaria elimination". In the standard suitability assessment, the proportion of considering the standard to be fully applicable was 91.3% (391/428), and the proportion of considering the standard to be revised was 8.7% (37/428). The agencies where the respondents were located have taken corresponding measures to promote the implementation of the standard. A total of 43 proposals for the implementation of the standard were collected, relating to personnel and supporting conditions.

Conclusions: Combined with the actual situation, the standard should be strengthened practically. At the same time, the standard learning, training, and publicity should be strengthened to raise the implementation level. Its implementation in Yunnan Province should be sequentially consolidated and steadily promoted.
