摘要： 目的 对2018年广州市番禺区新登记流动人口肺结核患者就诊情况、现实需求和基层医疗机构参与患者发现情况进行分析, 提出完善番禺区流动人口结核病发现基本公共卫生服务均等化的措施。 方法 按照基金课题项目研究的目的和内容自行设计调查表格。对2018年新登记的流动人口肺结核患者, 在复诊时对患者发现状况及需求进行便利抽样调查; 对辖区2018年流动人口患者较多的10家企业和全部社区卫生服务中心进行患者发现服务内容调查。调查内容经过信息完善和逻辑核对后, 将信息表转换成FoxPro 6.0数据库进行统计, 分析患者就发现延误状况及其原因和需求意向、患者首次就诊单位及转诊情况、企业和社区落实患者发现服务内容情况。 结果 2018年210例新登记患者本人就诊延误60例, 延误率为28.57%; 医生延误人数为82例, 延误率为39.05%。60例患者延误原因主要是自我认为症状不严重且不需要就诊; 82例医生延误的原因主要是先消炎2周。210例新登记患者首次就诊单位主要是区级综合医院;在首诊单位中, 转诊率较高为体检机构、市级综合医院。在210例新登记患者发现需求意向中, 患者无诉求113例, 占53.81%。在患者最多的10家企业中, 60%有设置卫生室且有专人负责; 70%车间设健康监测人员; 50% 企业参加年度X线体检; 80%卫生室有开展症状筛查。16家社区卫生服务中心中, 56.25%每年对企业提供1次以上宣传服务; 12.50%对企业推荐来的肺结核可疑症状者提供免费胸片筛查; 93.75%对肺结核可疑者开展主动追踪工作。 结论 番禺区流动人口肺结核患者仍存在就诊及确诊延误率高、结防机构就医环境不便、基层医疗机构转诊率低、社区卫生服务中心和企业患者发现工作参与度不够等特点, 政府应加大投入, 改善区结防机构诊治环境; 提高卫生社区卫生服务中心X线检查能力; 逐步将基本公共卫生服务项目内容向工厂、企业延伸等, 是广州市番禺区实现流动人口肺结核患者发现服务均等化的努力方向。
