摘要

背景:结核病是世界各地的一个重大公共卫生问题,南非是30个结核病高负担国家之一,占所有估计结核病例的87%。在南非,占全球所有案例的3%,缺乏对学生经历的研究和对潜在因素的理解。这些未来的领导者还处于身心发展的关键时期。本研究旨在了解某农村高校学生对肺结核及其病因的了解情况。方法学:采用横断面设计的定量方法。该研究于2020年在南非林波波的Vhembe区进行。在这项调查中,199名住在拥挤的校园宿舍里的学生接受了采访。在Thohoyandou校区使用自我管理问卷收集数据。数据分析使用26.0版的社会科学统计软件包(SPSS),用斯皮尔曼的秩序相关运行。结果:本研究结果显示,25.6%的男生和74.4%的女生了解PTB,而所选高校的学生对PTB病因的认识不足。受教育程度与结核病知识之间的关系采用Spearman的秩序相关性来确定。教育程度与结核病知识呈正相关(Spearman’s rho = 0.669, p = 0.035)。结论:本研究发现,高等教育机构的学生缺乏足够的PTB一般知识。应采取结核病控制措施,以更好地实施新战略、新发展计划、全球控制结核病战略和可持续发展目标。

Assessment of Students’ Knowledge Regarding PTB and Its Causes at Rural Institution of Higher Learning in South Africa
Background: TB is a significant public health problem around the world, with South Africa being one of the 30 high-burden TB countries, accounting for 87 percent of all estimated incident TB cases. In South Africa, which accounts for 3% of all instances worldwide, research on students’ experiences and understanding of underlying factors is lacking. These future leaders are still in a key time of physical and psychological development. This study aimed to test students’ understanding of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and its causes at a rural institution of higher learning. Methodology: Quantitative method was used using a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in the 2020 Vhembe District, Limpopo, South Africa. In the poll, 199 students living in overcrowded campus housing were interviewed. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data at the Thohoyandou campus. Data were analysed using version 26.0 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), with a Spearman’s rank-order correlation run. Results: The findings of this study revealed that 25.6 percent of male students and 74.4 percent of female students, respectively, understood PTB, while students at the selected tertiary institution have insufficient awareness of the causes of PTB. The association between education and TB knowledge among the respondents was determined using Spearman’s rank-order correlation. There was a statistically significant positive association between education and TB knowledge (Spearman’s rho = 0.669, p = 0.035). Conclusions: The study found that students at a higher education institution lacked sufficient general Knowledge regarding PTB. PTB control measures should be adopted to implement better the NSP, NDP, Global STOP TB strategy and the SDGs.
