摘要

目的:乳腺癌(BC)是沙特阿拉伯和世界范围内的一个主要公共卫生问题,严重影响沙特妇女的健康。本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯比沙大学医学生对乳腺癌的认识和预测因素。方法:本横断面研究纳入了2022年6月至12月来自比沙大学(医学与应用医学)的391名医学生。数据收集采用一份包含27个问题的问卷。数据使用Stata/ BE 17.0 for Mac (Intel 64位)1985-2021 Stata Corp LLC进行分析。所有伦理问题都得到了诚实的解决,包括IRB和学生同意。结果:在我们的研究中,几乎有一半(49.36%)的参与者对BC一般意识的知识不理想,这与性别和BC教育的参与程度有统计学意义(p值< 0.05)。57%的学生表现出积极参与BC活动的意愿。使用逻辑回归模型来确定积极预测学生参与和参与BC活动的因素。既往参与(OR =1.557143)、女性(OR =1.412844)、居住在农村(OR =1.7075471)、医学应用科学专业学生(OR =1.439252)等因素的相关性均有统计学意义(p值< 0.05)。结论:尽管有一半的参与者对BC的认知不够理想,但参与BC预防活动的意愿显著。因此,我们建议进行进一步分析,以确定医学课程中的差距并进行相应的更新,并计划一项课外活动,以提高学生对乳腺癌的认识,作为比沙大学社会责任的一部分。

Breast Cancer Awareness Among Medical Students, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia.

Breast Cancer Awareness Among Medical Students, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia.

Objective: Breast cancer (BC) is a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia and worldwide and significantly affects the health of Saudi women. This study investigates the awareness and predictors of breast cancer among medical students at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 391 medical students from the University of Bisha (Medicine and Applied Medical sciences) conducted from June to December 2022. Data were collected using a questionnaire with 27 questions. Data were analyzed using Stata/ BE 17.0 for Mac (Intel 64-bit) 1985-2021 Stata Corp LLC. All ethical issues were addressed honestly, including IRB and student consent.

Results: In our study, almost half of the participants (49.36%) had suboptimal knowledge of general BC awareness, which was statistically significantly related to gender and previous participation in BC education (p-value < 0.05). Of the students (57%) showed a positive intention to participate in BC activities. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors that positively predicted student participation and engagement in BC activities. These factors showed a statistically significant relationship (p-value < 0.05), including previous participation (OR =1.557143), female (OR =1.412844), living in rural areas (OR =1.7075471), and medical applied sciences students (OR =1.439252).

Conclusion: Despite half of the participants having suboptimal awareness of BC, there was a significant willingness to engage in BC prevention activities. Therefore, we recommend further analysis to identify gaps in the medical curriculum and update it accordingly, as well as to plan an extracurricular activity to increase student awareness of breast cancer as part of the University of Bisha's social accountability.
