摘要

导言。据世界卫生组织(WHO)报告,2019 年每年新增 150 万感染者,慢性乙型肝炎患者超过 2.9 亿人。医科学生(MSs)作为医护人员(HCWs)的一个子群体,感染 HBV 的职业风险很高,因为医护人员感染病毒的风险是普通人群的 2-10 倍。因此,他们必须对乙型肝炎感染有广泛的了解。在本研究中,我们旨在评估医务人员的知识、态度和实践水平,并探讨其预测因素。研究方法。我们对完成传染病课程的医务人员进行了描述性横断面研究。要求医务人员参与自我管理的在线结构化问卷调查。研究结果612 名医学硕士参加了我们的研究。67.5%为女性,36.9%为六年级学生。约半数参与者对 HBV 感染的知识、态度和实践水平较高。研究最后一年接触过 HBV 患者的医务人员对 HBV 的了解程度更高。接触过 HBV 患者并参加过额外的 HBV 课程的男性医务人员表现出更好的态度。医务人员的高实践水平与他们处于第 6 年并参加了额外的 HBV 课程有关。结论本研究表明,医务人员对 HBV 感染的知识、态度和实践水平令人满意。然而,在某些方面,尤其是在 HBV 传播途径方面,必须加强认识。因此,在为 HBV 患者提供护理时,应加强态度和实践水平,以消除耻辱感的影响。

Knowledge Gaps and Determination of Attitude and Practice among Medical Students toward Hepatitis B Infection: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study
Introduction. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), annually, there are 1.5 million new infections, with more than 290 million people living with chronic hepatitis B diseases in 2019. Medical students (MSs), a subgroup of health care workers (HCWs), are at high occupational risk for HBV infection since HCWs have a 2–10 times greater risk of getting the virus than the general population. Therefore, they must have a broad understanding of hepatitis B infection. In this study, we aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices among MSs, and to explore its predictors. Methodology. A descriptive cross-sectional research was done among MSs, those who finished their infectious disease course. MSs were asked to participate in a self-administered online-structured questionnaire. Results. 612 MSs were enrolled in our study. 67.5% were females, and 36.9% were in their 6th year. Around half of the participants held a high level of knowledge, attitude, and practices toward HBV infection. MSs in the last year of the study who encountered HBV patients showed to have better knowledge. Male MSs who encountered HBV patients and took extra HBV courses showed better attitudes. High practice level among MSs was associated with being in the 6th year and taking extra HBV courses. Conclusions. This study demonstrated a satisfactory level of knowledge, attitude, and practices toward HBV infection among MSs. However, awareness must be enhanced in some areas especially transmission routes of HBV. Thus, it will strengthen the level of attitude and practices to omit the effect of the stigma while delivering care to HBV patients.
