Hygiene Council Global Survey on Personal and Household Hygiene, 2011

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>The <I>Hygiene Council Global Survey on Personal and Household Hygiene</I>, 2011 is the first study to highlight the role of manners, orderliness and routine on hygiene behaviours.<br>
<br>
A global survey on the determinants of personal and household hygiene, with particular reference to hand-washing with soap and cleaning of household surfaces, was conducted in 1000 households in each of twelve countries across the world. A structural equation model of hygiene behaviour and its consequences derived from theory was then estimated for both behaviours. The analysis showed that the frequency of hand washing with soap is strongly tied to how automatically it is performed. Whether or not someone is busy, or tired, can also impact on whether they stop to wash hands. Surface cleaning was strongly linked to possessing a cleaning routine, so, like hand washing, it is primarily determined by non-cognitive causes. It is also inspired by the perception that one is living in a dirty environment, especially if one has a strong sense of contamination, as well as a need to keep one’s surroundings tidy. Being concerned with good manners is also linked to the performance of these behaviours. Those who see others around them as practicing surface cleaning are also more likely to do so themselves. <br>

2011年《卫生理事会全球个人与家庭卫生状况调查》（Hygiene Council Global Survey on Personal and Household Hygiene）是首项聚焦礼仪、秩序感与日常习惯对卫生行为影响的研究。
本研究针对个人与家庭卫生的影响因素开展全球性调查，重点涵盖肥皂洗手与家居表面清洁两类行为，在全球12个国家各选取1000户家庭参与调研。研究人员基于理论框架构建了卫生行为及其影响后果的结构方程模型（structural equation model），并针对两类卫生行为分别进行了模型估计。
分析结果显示，肥皂洗手的频率与该行为的自动化执行程度高度相关；个体是否处于忙碌或疲惫状态，同样会影响其是否会停下洗手。家居表面清洁行为与固定清洁习惯高度相关，因此与肥皂洗手类似，这类行为主要由非认知因素决定。此外，该行为还会受到居住环境脏乱感知的驱动，尤其是当个体对污染有较强的敏感度，且有保持周边环境整洁的需求时。注重文明礼仪也与这两类卫生行为的执行存在关联。观察到周边他人开展家居表面清洁的个体，自身也更有可能参与此类清洁活动。
**核心主题**：全球范围内个人与家庭卫生行为的影响因素。
