infection is widespread and harmful, rendering its eradication a serious public health problem. Undergraduate students' general understanding of infection is relatively poor. This was a second-phase research study to evaluate the efficacy of an educational intervention in raising awareness among university students.
A quasi-experimental approach was employed, with 108 undergraduate students at King Saud University as participants. First, during the October 2021 academic year, data were gathered using a validated survey. The survey was divided into sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge. Second, we assessed the effectiveness of an educational intervention to increase university students' awareness of the topic.
Before the intervention, the percentage of students that had good (9.3%), fair (28.7%) and poor (62%) knowledge of infection changed to 55.6%, 41.7%, and 2.8% respectively. There was a significant increase in overall and domain-wise mean knowledge score after the educational intervention ( = 0.001). The pretest knowledge was independent of all socio-demographic variables except "whether or not they had heard about infection" (= 8.666, = 0.013).
Educational intervention may help increase students' awareness of infections.
感染广泛存在且具有危害性，消除感染是一个严重的公共卫生问题。本科生对感染的总体了解相对较差。这是一项二期研究，旨在评估教育干预措施对提高大学生认识的效果。
采用准实验方法，以沙特国王大学的108名本科生为参与者。首先，在2021年10月学年期间，使用经过验证的调查问卷收集数据。该问卷分为社会人口统计学特征和知识两部分。其次，我们评估了一项教育干预措施提高大学生对该主题认识的有效性。
干预前，对感染知识掌握程度良好（9.3%）、一般（28.7%）和较差（62%）的学生比例，在干预后分别变为55.6%、41.7%和2.8%。教育干预后，总体和各领域的平均知识得分均显著提高（P = 0.001）。除“是否听说过感染”外（P = 8.666，P = 0.013），预测试知识与所有社会人口统计学变量无关。
教育干预可能有助于提高学生对感染的认识。
