摘要
简介:在全球和摩洛哥,病毒性肝炎都是公共卫生的重点,而知识和意识对防治这种疾病至关重要:目的:评估大学生对病毒性肝炎的认识、态度和做法:方法:采用自填式匿名在线问卷,对乌季达穆罕默德总理大学 2023-2024 学年的在校学生进行了描述性和分析性横断面研究:503 名学生完成了在线问卷调查。结果显示,乙型肝炎(73.6%)和丙型肝炎(67.4%)的知晓率高于甲型肝炎(52.0%)和戊型肝炎(24.3%)。大多数学生(78.0%)知道乙型肝炎病毒可通过血液传播,62.0%的学生知道可通过性传播。关于丙型肝炎的主要传播方式,约三分之二的受访者(69.0%)表示是通过接触受感染的血液传播的。43.5%的受访者知道 HVA 和 HVE 病毒的传播途径。对肝炎知识的了解程度与受教育程度、医学院校隶属关系和社会经济地位密切相关。学生的预防措施是积极的,但他们对病毒性肝炎患者的态度是消极的:我们的研究结果表明,需要通过宣传和教育活动来提高人们对肝炎的认识,以防治这些疾病,尤其是摩洛哥已承诺在 2030 年之前在全球范围内消除病毒性肝炎。
Study of the knowledge, practices and attitudes of students at Mohammed First University in Oujda regarding viral hepatitis in Morocco.
Introduction: Globally and in Morocco, viral hepatitis is a major public health priority, and knowledge and awareness are essential in the combat against this disease.
Aim: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of university students regarding viral hepatitis.
Methods: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among students enrolled at Mohammed Premier University in Oujda, for the 2023-2024 academic year, using a self-administered and anonymous online questionnaire.
Results: 503 students completed the online questionnaire. The results showed that hepatitis B (73.6%) and C (67.4%) are better known than hepatitis A (52.0%) and E (24.3%). The majority of students (78.0%) knew that HBV can be transmitted by blood, and 62.0% by sexual transmission. For the main mode of transmission of hepatitis C, around two-thirds of respondents (69.0%) indicated transmission by contact with infected blood. Transmission of HVA and HVE viruses was known by 43.5%. The level of knowledge about hepatitis was significantly associated with education levels, medical school affiliation and socio-economic status. Students' preventive practices were positive, but their attitudes towards people with viral hepatitis were negative.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that knowledge of hepatitis needs to be improved through awareness and education campaigns, in order to combat these diseases, especially as Morocco has committed to a global movement to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.
