title: [Effect of comprehensive intervention on capacity in prevention and control of chronic diseases in community medical staff in Hangzhou].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of the Oxford Health Alliance-Community Interventions for Health on chronic diseases prevention and control capacity in community medical staff in Hangzhou.
  
  
  METHODS
  A two year comprehensive intervention on chronic disease prevention and control capacity was conducted in the medical staff in Xiacheng district and Gongshu district, Xihu district was used as control according to the study design principal of parallel comparison and non-random grouping. The intervention effect was evaluated with Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. A total of 985 questionnaires were completed in the baseline survey and 870 questionnaires were completed in the follow-up survey.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After 2 year intervention, the detection rates of blood cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose by community medical staff significantly increased compared with the rates before the intervention (χ² =7.97, P =0.05 ; χ² =27.21, P =0.00 ; χ² =21.32, P=0.00). While, in the control district, the fasting blood glucose detection rate increased from 25.37% to 31.19%, the differences showed statistical significance (χ² =15.29, P=0.00). The communication between community medical staff and patients about healthy diet pattern was improved after the intervention, the difference was statistical significant (χ² =8.64, P=0.03). However, no significant differences in communication about increasing physical activity and smoking cessation between community medical staff and patients was found before and after intervention both in intervention districts and in control district. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the interventions on screening of common chronic diseases and management of chronic diseases patients were related with the detections of blood cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose. Moreover, the intervention on counsel and suggestion for chronic disease prevention and control had some influence on the communication about chronic disease risk factors between community medical staff and patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intervention on chronic disease prevention and control capacity in community medical staff was effective to improve the detection of chronic diseases in community and the communication between the medical staff and patients.
