摘要

气候变化和登革热对全球公共卫生构成相互关联的挑战。在秘鲁，登革热发病率自1990年以来一直在增加，并于2024年达到历史高峰。尽管可以获得治疗，但必须通过将知识和预防态度纳入大学教育来加强初级保健。本研究分析医学生对登革热和气候变化的知识、态度和预防措施的水平。方法采用横断面研究方法，于2024年5 - 6月，从300名医学生中随机抽取172名进行调查。使用一份有效的问卷来收集社会人口统计信息，以及知识、态度和预防措施方面的数据。得分超过总分80%的参与者被认为在每个评估类别中都有足够的水平。结果受访者中女性占58%，平均年龄20.45岁。64.53%的人对登革热有足够的知识，99.42%的人对气候变化有足够的知识。虽然65.70%的人对预防有良好的态度，但只有29.07%的人采取了适当的预防措施。发现良好的登革热知识水平与采取预防措施之间存在显著关联(p <；0.05)。结论医学生对登革热与气候变化的相关知识和态度较好，但采取的预防措施较少。必须通过讲习班和实践活动来改进他们的培训。秘鲁的政策优先考虑了病媒控制、宣传运动和疫苗接种，但在资源和可持续性方面仍存在挑战。需要采取包括环境卫生和气候适应在内的多部门办法，使医疗培训适应这些挑战。

Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre el cambio climático y el dengue en estudiantes de Medicina de la Universidad Continental, Huancayo, 2024

Introduction

Climate change and dengue fever pose interconnected challenges to global public health. In Peru, the incidence of dengue has been increasing since 1990, reaching a historical peak in 2024. Despite the availability of treatment, it is essential to strengthen primary care by integrating knowledge and preventive attitudes into university education. This study analyzes the level of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices related to dengue and climate change among medical students.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and June 2024, surveying 172 randomly selected medical students from a total of 300. A validated questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic information, as well as data on knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices. Participants who scored above 80% of the total score were considered to have an adequate level in each evaluated category.

Results

Among the respondents, 58% were women, with an average age of 20.45 years. A total of 64.53% demonstrated an adequate level of knowledge about dengue, while 99.42% had sufficient knowledge about climate change. Although 65.70% exhibited favorable attitudes toward prevention, only 29.07% engaged in adequate preventive practices. A significant association was found between a good level of knowledge about dengue and the adoption of preventive practices (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Medical students have a good knowledge and attitude related to dengue and climate change but apply few preventive measures. It is essential to improve their training with workshops and practical activities. Policies in Peru have prioritized vector control, information campaigns and vaccination, but there are still challenges in terms of resources and sustainability. A multisectoral approach is required that includes sanitation and climate adaptation, aligning medical training with these challenges.
