Abstract

BACKGROUND

Information on the HIV and AIDS-related knowledge among dental students provides a crucial foundation for efforts aimed at developing an appropriate dental curriculum on HIV and AIDS, and for attracting the attention of dental school educators towards the subject.

PURPOSES

Focusing on a census of dental students attending their 3rd, 4th and 5th study year at publicly - and privately funded dental faculties in Khartoum, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and socio-economic correlates of dental students' knowledge, sources of information and reported need for further education related to HIV and AIDS.

METHODS

At the time of the survey (March-May 2007), the total number of dental students registered was 782 of which 642 (response rate 82%, mean age 21.7 year, 72% girls) completed anonymous self-administered questionnaires in supervised class room settings.

RESULTS

A total of 49% and 86% had correct sum scores with respect to knowledge of transmission through contamination and through shaking hands and eating, respectively. About half the dental students recognized a need for further education across HIV related issues, varying from 75% (basic HIV/AIDS related issues) to 84% (patient management). Only 38% of the students had correct sum scores regarding various occupational groups at risk for contacting HIV and AIDS. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that compared to privately funded dental school students, publicly funded dental school students were less likely to have correct knowledge about modes of HIV transmission (OR = 0.6) and occupational risk groups (OR = 0.6) and to have received information from lectures/health care workers (OR = 0.5).

CONCLUSION

Students attending privately funded schools were more knowledgeable about various HIV related issues than students from publicly funded schools. About half of the students investigated had received HIV/AIDS information from various sources and reported need for further education. This suggests that students are not adequately prepared for treating patients with HIV infection and AIDS and that the dental school curriculum needs improvements. Differences between public and private dental schools should be considered when planning such improvements.

摘要

背景

牙科学生中与艾滋病毒和艾滋病相关的知识信息,为制定合适的艾滋病毒和艾滋病牙科课程以及吸引牙科学校教育工作者关注该主题的努力提供了关键基础。

目的

本研究聚焦于对喀土穆公立和私立牙科院校三年级、四年级和五年级牙科学生的普查,旨在评估牙科学生关于艾滋病毒和艾滋病的知识普及程度、社会经济相关因素、信息来源以及报告的进一步教育需求。

方法

在调查时(2007年3月至5月),注册的牙科学生总数为782人,其中642人(回复率82%,平均年龄21.7岁,72%为女生)在有监督的课堂环境中完成了匿名自填问卷。

结果

分别有49%和86%的学生在通过污染传播以及握手和共餐传播方面的知识总和得分正确。约一半的牙科学生认识到需要就艾滋病毒相关问题接受进一步教育,比例从75%(基本艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关问题)到84%(患者管理)不等。只有38%的学生在涉及感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病风险的各类职业群体方面的知识总和得分正确。多元逻辑回归分析显示,与私立牙科学校学生相比,公立牙科学校学生对艾滋病毒传播方式(比值比=0.6)和职业风险群体(比值比=0.6)有正确认识以及从讲座/医护人员处获取信息(比值比=0.5)的可能性较小。

结论

就读于私立学校的学生在各类艾滋病毒相关问题上比公立学校的学生知识更丰富。约一半接受调查的学生从各种来源获得了艾滋病毒/艾滋病信息并报告需要进一步教育。这表明学生在治疗艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病患者方面准备不足,牙科学校课程需要改进。在规划此类改进时应考虑公立和私立牙科学校之间的差异。
