OBJECTIVES
To determine awareness about hepatitis C among 4 -year medical students at Dammam University, on hepatitis C and possible associated factors.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire comprising questions on awareness of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission, screening of the population, symptoms, complications, prevention, and treatment.
RESULTS
A total of 201 students participated, with a response rate of 79.8%. About 75% of students had a poor grasp of HCV transmission while the awareness of <25% of students was fair. More than half of students had fair knowledge about screening, prevention, and treatment of HCV. The majority of students were familiar with the clinical presentation and complications of HCV. The overall awareness of the 4 -year medical students on HCV infection was fair, with no significant difference between males and females.
CONCLUSIONS
Overall grasp of hepatitis C by the studied group was fair. However, there were serious gaps in their knowledge, which need to be filled or modified, especially knowledge about transmission which was poor.
目的
确定达曼大学四年级医学生对丙型肝炎及其可能相关因素的知晓情况。
材料与方法
采用自填式问卷进行横断面研究，问卷包含关于丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）传播、人群筛查、症状、并发症、预防和治疗的知晓情况等问题。
结果
共有201名学生参与，应答率为79.8%。约75%的学生对HCV传播了解不足，而25%以下的学生知晓情况尚可。超过一半的学生对HCV筛查、预防和治疗有一定了解。大多数学生熟悉HCV的临床表现和并发症。四年级医学生对HCV感染的总体知晓情况尚可，男女之间无显著差异。
结论
研究组对丙型肝炎的总体掌握情况尚可。然而，他们的知识存在严重差距，需要填补或修正，尤其是关于传播方面的知识较为欠缺。
