BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Health tourism is already one of the most important sources of revenue for many countries all over the world, but it appears that it has not progressed as much in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of students of Iranian medical sciences universities about this subject, which could have a great impact on the future of this industry in Iran.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, the students of medical sciences universities in Iran were selected through convenience sampling; they filled out an online 36-item self-administrated questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 25). Descriptive statistics of knowledge and attitude were provided. Also, independent samples -test and analysis of variance were used as statistical tests and value <0.05 was considered as the significant level.
RESULTS
Overall, 390 students with a mean age of 24 ± 1.5 years and a female-to-male ratio of 1.9 participated in this study. The respondents answered 38% of the questions correctly in the knowledge section. Age, ethnicity, education level, job experience, experience of a health tourism-related job, participation in health tourism courses, and geographical region of the province of residence showed a significant association with the participants' knowledge. Also, most participants had an almost positive attitude regarding the potential for development of the industry.
CONCLUSION
According to the results obtained, the students' knowledge about health tourism was not desirable; however, their attitudes were almost positive. Therefore, educational interventions are highly recommended to be conducted in this regard.
背景与目的
健康旅游已经是世界上许多国家最重要的收入来源之一，但在伊朗，它似乎并没有取得太大进展。本研究的目的是确定伊朗医科大学学生对该主题的了解和态度，这可能对伊朗该行业的未来产生重大影响。
方法
在这项横断面研究中，通过便利抽样选择了伊朗医科大学的学生；他们填写了一份36项的在线自填问卷。使用SPSS软件（版本25）对数据进行分析。提供了知识和态度的描述性统计。此外，使用独立样本t检验和方差分析作为统计检验，P值<0.05被视为显著水平。
结果
总体而言，390名平均年龄为24±1.5岁、男女比例为1.9的学生参与了本研究。受访者在知识部分正确回答了38%的问题。年龄、种族、教育水平、工作经验、健康旅游相关工作经验、参加健康旅游课程以及居住省份的地理区域与参与者的知识有显著关联。此外，大多数参与者对该行业的发展潜力持几乎积极的态度。
结论
根据获得的结果，学生对健康旅游的了解并不理想；然而，他们的态度几乎是积极的。因此，强烈建议在这方面进行教育干预。
