BACKGROUND
Sleep apnoea is a diagnosed condition in which appurtenances interrupt breathing whilst sleeping. The consequence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) includes road traffic accidents due to drowsiness, systemic hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus and neurocognitive disorders. This condition extends the duration of recovery phase after traumatic brain injury.
OBJECTIVE
This study was intended to assess the knowledge and attitude towards OSA and compare it among dental and medical undergraduate students of University Sains Malaysia (USM).
METHODS
In this study, a total of 216 clinical undergraduate students (36 from each year; 108 from medical and 108 from dental school) of University Sains Malaysia (USM) Health campus were recruited for the study by non-probability stratified random sampling method. Total study period was October 2017 to October 2018. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the sociodemographic status and OSAKA questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and attitude regarding sleep apnoea of the respondents. Descriptive analysis was carried out to assess the knowledge and attitude of OSA amongst dental and medical undergraduate students of USM. The Mann-Whitney U test was carried out to compare the knowledge and attitude of OSA amongst dental and medical undergraduate students of USM.
RESULTS
Our study findings revealed that 0.9 %and 6.5 %of the dental undergraduate students and medical undergraduate students could answer all the questions correctly regarding knowledge of OSA. Based on the assessment of the difference between medical and dental students in terms of knowledge towards OSA patients, significant difference was observed at the significance level of 95%, where p < 0.05 but no difference found in attitude towards OSA. However, significant difference was found towards attitude on treating OSA patients p < 0.05.
CONCLUSIONS
A difference was observed in the knowledge and attitude on OSA between dental and medical undergraduate students in USM; however, medical undergraduate students had better knowledge and attitude towards OSA than dental students.
背景
睡眠呼吸暂停是一种已确诊的病症，其中附属物会在睡眠时中断呼吸。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）的后果包括因困倦导致的道路交通意外、高血压、心脏病、糖尿病和神经认知障碍。这种情况会延长创伤性脑损伤后的康复阶段的持续时间。
目的
本研究旨在评估医学生和牙科学本科生对 OSA 的认识和态度，并对马来西亚理科大学（USM）的医学生和牙科学本科生进行比较。
方法
本研究采用非概率分层随机抽样法，从马来西亚理科大学（USM）健康校园共招募了 216 名临床本科生（每年 36 名；医学 108 名，牙科学 108 名）。总研究时间为 2017 年 10 月至 2018 年 10 月。采用自填式问卷评估受访者的社会人口统计学状况，采用 OSAKA 问卷评估其对睡眠呼吸暂停的知识和态度。采用描述性分析评估 USM 牙科学和医学本科生对 OSA 的知识和态度。采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验比较 USM 牙科学和医学本科生对 OSA 的知识和态度。
结果
我们的研究结果表明，牙科学本科生和医学本科生中，分别有 0.9%和 6.5%的人能够正确回答有关 OSA 知识的所有问题。根据评估医学生和牙科学学生在 OSA 患者知识方面的差异，在 95%的显著水平上观察到显著差异，p<0.05，但在对 OSA 的态度方面没有差异。然而，在治疗 OSA 患者的态度方面，存在显著差异，p<0.05。
结论
在马来西亚理科大学，牙科学和医学本科生在 OSA 的知识和态度方面存在差异；然而，医学本科生对 OSA 的知识和态度要好于牙科学本科生。
