Abstract

Hepatitis B is a silent epidemic as it is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a major global health problem. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge on hepatitis B among secondary level students at Birtamode, Jhapa. Descriptive cross-sectional research design was used. Non-Probability purposive proportionate sampling technique was used. Total sample size was 166 respondents. Self-developed, self-administered and semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting a data. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for analyzing the study. The findings of the study showed that the mean age of respondents was 14.52 years in which 57.8% were male. Similarly, 55.4% students were from grade 9 and 44.6% were from grade 10. Almost all (93.4%) of respondents mentioned book as major source of information. Among the studied respondents, 12.6% had good knowledge, 47% had fair knowledge and 40.4% had poor knowledge on hepatitis B. The level of knowledge was associated with study grade of respondents (p=0.007). The study concludes that fair level of knowledge regarding hepatitis B among respondents and level of knowledge was significant with study grade and almost of respondents gained information from book.

贾帕邦塔莫中学学生对乙型肝炎的认识

乙型肝炎是一种无声的流行病，因为它是由乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)引起的一种可能危及生命的肝脏感染，也是一个主要的全球卫生问题。本研究的目的是评估贾帕Birtamode中学学生对乙型肝炎的知识水平。采用描述性横断面研究设计。采用非概率目的比例抽样技术。总样本量为166名受访者。采用自行编制、自我管理的半结构化问卷进行数据收集。采用描述统计和推理统计对研究进行分析。研究结果显示，受访者的平均年龄为14.52岁，其中57.8%为男性。同样，55.4%的学生来自9年级，44.6%来自10年级。几乎所有(93.4%)的受访者都提到书籍是主要的信息来源。在被调查者中，12.6%的人对乙肝知识了解较好，47%的人对乙肝知识了解一般，40.4%的人对乙肝知识了解较差，知识水平与被调查者的学习等级相关(p=0.007)。研究结果表明，被调查者对乙肝知识的了解程度与学习成绩有显著关系，几乎所有的被调查者都是从书本上获取信息的。
