The objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of undergraduate health sciences students toward chronic kidney disease at Jimma University.
The overall weighted knowledge, attitude and practices score of the students were 8.6042 (8.26, 8.95), 6.23 (5.93, 6.53) and 2.51 (2.35, 2.67). Many students knew the basic function, symptoms and risk factors of chronic kidney disease. However, the same number of students showed a lack of diagnosis knowledge. Generally, students showed a favorable attitude and practice toward chronic kidney disease. However, they had a poor habit of a hospital visit for routine kidney checkup because of the socio-economic factors. The current study concludes that, despite students showed a good level of knowledge, attitude, and practices toward chronic kidney disease poor knowledge of kidney diagnosis methods and poor practice of visit to biomedical clinics for regular kidney checkup observed.
本研究的目的是评估吉马大学健康科学专业本科生对慢性肾脏病的知识、态度和实践情况。
学生的总体加权知识、态度和实践得分分别为8.6042(8.26,8.95)、6.23(5.93,6.53)和2.51(2.35,2.67)。许多学生了解慢性肾脏病的基本功能、症状和危险因素。然而,同样数量的学生缺乏诊断知识。总体而言,学生对慢性肾脏病表现出积极的态度和实践。然而,由于社会经济因素,他们没有定期去医院进行肾脏检查的习惯。当前研究得出结论,尽管学生对慢性肾脏病表现出良好的知识、态度和实践水平,但观察到他们对肾脏诊断方法的知识不足,且很少去生物医学诊所进行定期肾脏检查。
