摘要

目的了解贝鲁特阿拉伯大学（BAU）学生对性传播疾病的知识和态度。方法学生扫描谷歌表格问卷的二维码，并向目标样本提供项目说明。完成问卷所需的估计时间约为（5-10分钟）。数据收集表包括社会人口统计，以及性传播疾病的知识和态度量表。结果共纳入414名学生。调查结果显示，80.5%的学生具有中高级知识水平。年龄、婚姻状况和教师与知识水平有关，其中年龄较大、已婚和健康相关领域的得分较高。此外，我们的研究结果显示，学生对性传播疾病的态度是中立的，因此50%的态度得分大于3.625。此外，目前的研究发现，学生的知识得分越高，他们对性传播疾病的态度越好。结论调查结果表明，总体知识水平呈中高水平，但对性传播疾病的具体知识仍存在空白；这个问题应该在性教育中讨论。另一方面，学生对性传播疾病的态度总体上是中性的，有一些误解。

Knowledge and attitudes towards sexually transmitted diseases among students in a private university in Lebanon

Aim

The present study aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes toward STDs among Beirut Arab University (BAU) students.

Methods

A QR code linked to the Google Forms questionnaire was scanned by the students and an explanation about the project was provided to the targeted sample. The estimated time required to complete the questionnaire was approximately (5–10 min). The data collection form included socio-demographics, as well as knowledge and attitudes scale about STDs.

Results

A total of 414 students were included in the study. The findings revealed that 80.5% of the students had moderate to high knowledge levels. Age, marital status, and faculty were found to be linked to knowledge levels, where older, married, and those in health-related fields scored higher. Furthermore, our study results showed that students have a neutral attitude toward STDs, so 50% of attitude scores were greater than 3.625. Moreover, the current study found that higher students’ knowledge scores were linked to better students’ attitudes toward STDs.

Conclusion

The findings indicated that the overall knowledge level tends to be moderate to high, but specific knowledge gaps still exist about sexually transmitted diseases; this issue should be addressed during sex education. On the other hand, the overall students’ attitudes towards STDs tend to be neutral with some misconceptions.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
