Abstract

Background: Tanzania is experiencing the increase burden of Sickle cell disease, with an estimate of 20.6% Sickle Cell carriers. There is no preventive measure has been put in this area by the government; a great focus has been directed in the diagnosis and management and national guideline emphasis on the care rather than prevention. Methods: A non-controlled quasi-experimental study conducted from June to September 2020 among 697 randomly recruited students from the University of Dodoma. Pre and post-test knowledge information were collected through structured self-administered questionnaires. Data analysed using SPSS v20. Simple and multiple linear analysis model used to test for significant association of variables at 95% CI, at p<0.05. The results were presented using tables and figures. Results: The mean knowledge score at pre-test was 0.009{+/-}1.014 which improved to 0.365{+/-}0.901 on the post-test, with a statistically significant difference (t=6.965, p<0.01). The results of linear regression showed that knowledge change was not statistically associated with other predictors (p>0.05) Conclusion : Health education demonstrated to be effective towards change in knowledge on sickle cell disease among University students.

坦桑尼亚多马市大学生婚前基因型筛查与咨询对镰状细胞病知识的影响:非对照准实验研究
背景:坦桑尼亚镰状细胞病负担正在增加,估计有20.6%的镰状细胞携带者。政府在这个地区没有采取任何预防措施;诊断和管理是一个很大的焦点,国家指南强调护理而不是预防。方法:于2020年6月至9月,随机抽取土耳其多多马大学697名学生进行非对照准实验研究。通过结构化的自我管理问卷收集测试前和测试后的知识信息。数据分析使用SPSS v20。结论:健康教育对大学生镰状细胞病知识的改变是有效的。
