摘要

布鲁氏菌病是一种由绵羊、奶牛和骆驼等动物携带的人畜共患细菌性疾病。它通过食用受影响的动物或其副产品传播给人类。乳制品是阿拉伯人饮食的主要组成部分,在布鲁氏菌病流行的沙特阿拉伯消费非常广泛。本研究分析了马吉马大学学生和教职员工中18岁及以上成年人对布鲁氏菌病的当前知识、态度和行为。2021年3月至4月,通过在线调查对181名参与者进行了横断面研究。结果表明,大多数人都知道布鲁氏菌病及其传播,但只有一小部分人采取了必要的预防措施。这项研究强调,仅靠知识不足以促进健康行为。因此,重要的是以一种能够将知识转化为行动的方式提高认识。

Brucellosis: An Investigation of the Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors Among a Selected Population in Majmaah Saudi Arab
Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease carried by animals such as sheep, cows, and camels. It is transmitted to humans through the consumption of affected animals or their by-products. Dairy products form a major part of the Arabic diet and are very widely consumed in Saudi Arabia, where brucellosis is endemic. This study has analyzed the current knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward brucellosis of adults aged 18 years and older among Majmaah University students and staff. A cross-sectional study with 181 participants was conducted using an online survey during March–April 2021. The results showed that the majority of people knew about brucellosis and its transmission, but only a fraction of them took the required precautionary measures. This study highlights that knowledge alone is insufficient to promote healthy behaviors. It is thus important to raise awareness in a way that can convert knowledge into action.
