I'm in town healthHealth educationAlmost 10 years later, from the initial placement of leaflets in the hands of the villagers to the subsequent exercise with them, more pits were stepped on than what had been done. The matter of health education, which is like a mountain, falls into one family, one village and the doorway is more complicated than most people think. Today's experience of these years is not wasted, but real。
How does health education land
I've seen too much "health education" as a poster, an entry. The corridor of the health centre is full of "brain and ventilated hands" and villagers can't remember, let alone change their habits. The real way to work is..Split knowledge into actionI don't know. For example, teaching old people to keep a stroke, instead of reading the word "low salt, low fat" and replacing their salt cans with small numbers, stopping by three hours of cooking, turning "low salt" into a small thing that can be felt and done by hand. A specific action, more useful than 10 pages of brochures。
Last fall, i was in a village where i had an autumn health education, and i found no one listening to just "don't drink raw water," because the old well was in front of my house, and it couldn't be changed for decades. Then i took the villagers to pick up a bottle of water, and then i opened it for you in two days -- green, smooth, and a seven or eight-year-old just "wow." that picture worked better than i said a hundred words of "there may be parasites in the water."。Situation is always more important than teachingAnd that's what i've tested at the grassroots level。
What's missing in health education
What's missing is not contentFeedback closed loopI don't know. I've seen a lot of families at school, and the kids have learned to wash their hands before dinner, and parents don't even know if they're washing, washing or not, and they don't have any next move. Health education, once stated, is largely meaningless. I did a stupid thing in the bathroom: i had a kid put his hand on a screen every week and took a print home, and his parents looked at five fingers with black dots. I didn't have to talk, and the next day the whole family took it seriously。
There's another big gapOld man's ringI don't know. There is now a lot of health education focused on children and parents, but the elderly are the ones who actually eat and drink lasagna and the kitchen and the toilet, and they don't change their mind and the hygiene habits of the entire family are not in place. I then gave the village over 60 a 20-minute class on kitchen sanitation, and i said around my own stove, and if not on my own, why can't it be used again and how often does it change。
I have always felt that health education is not a subject, but a work of life. It doesn't need you to be a professional, it needs you to get down and use the kitchen pots and the taps in the bathroom as teaching materials to drag people into that specific scene. It's more real than any textbook, and it's longer than any slogan。
