This study's primary objective was to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led educational program on undergraduate college students' knowledge about PrEP.
This was a cross-sectional, pre- and postprogram survey study. The study included undergraduate students at least 18 years old at a university in Washington, DC. Graduate students, pharmacy students, and those not enrolled at the university were excluded. Before the educational program, the participants completed an anonymous preprogram survey to assess their perception and knowledge of HIV prevention and PrEP as well as their willingness to obtain a prescription for PrEP. A pharmacist delivered a 30-minute educational program to students regarding HIV prevention and PrEP in small groups. After the program, the participants completed a postprogram survey to evaluate the changes from the baseline responses. Paired t tests and chi-square tests detected the associations between the pre- and postprogram surveys.
One-hundred sixteen students participated in the program, and 102 surveys were included in the data analysis. Students' perception of their knowledge of HIV (4.2 vs. 4.6; P < 0.001), perception of their knowledge of PrEP (3.1 vs. 4.5; P < 0.001), and their willingness to obtain a prescription for PrEP (3.8 vs. 4.5; P < 0.001) was statistically significant after the education. There was a statistically significant increase in the participants' actual knowledge of HIV risk factors (62.4% correct vs. 90.2% correct; P < 0.001) and knowledge of PrEP effectiveness (26.3% vs. 75.0%; P < 0.001).
These findings demonstrated that a pharmacist-led educational program may have an impact on undergraduate students' perception and knowledge of HIV and PrEP. This study may help to further guide pharmacists' PrEP initiatives in this targeted population.
本研究的主要目的是评估药师主导的教育计划对大学生预防用 PrEP 知识的影响。
这是一项横断面、预前后调查研究。研究对象为华盛顿特区一所大学至少 18 岁的本科生。排除研究生、药学学生和未在该大学注册的学生。在教育计划之前，参与者完成了一项匿名的预调查，以评估他们对 HIV 预防和 PrEP 的认知和知识，以及他们获得 PrEP 处方的意愿。药剂师为学生提供了 30 分钟的小组 HIV 预防和 PrEP 教育课程。在计划之后，参与者完成了一项课后调查，以评估与基线反应的变化。配对 t 检验和卡方检验检测了预前后调查之间的关联。
共有 116 名学生参加了该计划，其中 102 份调查纳入数据分析。学生对 HIV 知识的认知（4.2 对 4.6；P<0.001）、对 PrEP 知识的认知（3.1 对 4.5；P<0.001）和获得 PrEP 处方的意愿（3.8 对 4.5；P<0.001）在教育后具有统计学意义。参与者对 HIV 风险因素（正确回答率从 62.4%提高到 90.2%；P<0.001）和 PrEP 有效性（从 26.3%提高到 75.0%；P<0.001）的实际知识有统计学意义的提高。
这些发现表明，药师主导的教育计划可能对大学生对 HIV 和 PrEP 的认知和知识产生影响。本研究可能有助于进一步指导药剂师在这一目标人群中的 PrEP 计划。
