Abstract

Purpose: The most prevalent chronic liver disease in both developed and developing nations is Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). The condition increases the risk of comorbidities and liver-related morbidity and mortality. The public's awareness and medical personnel's understanding are essential in creating countermeasures to stop the disease's spread; a positive attitude is essential for early screening. This study aimed to explore the knowledge and attitudes of Jordanians living in Amman toward MASLD to determine the public's awareness and medical personnel's understanding of the disease.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire that included 5 items for knowledge and 8 for attitude. Demographic questions were also included to further examine how demographic factors affected knowledge and attitude.

Results: Among 906 responders, (63.4%) were females, and (36.6%) were males. The majority age group was 18-30 (56.2%). Only 49.5% had previous knowledge of MASLD, (44.6%) believed they were at risk of developing it. There is a statistical significance between age, gender, educational level, and having a good knowledge of MASLD and a positive attitude towards it (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Generally, Jordan's population has a fair knowledge of MASLD and a positive attitude towards it. Warranting more research into the reasons behind it, and more awareness campaigns.

代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪性肝病(MASLD):基于知识和态度决定因素的约旦视角。
目的:代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪肝(MASLD)是发达国家和发展中国家最常见的慢性肝病。这种疾病会增加并发症以及与肝脏相关的发病率和死亡率。公众的认识和医务人员的理解对于制定阻止疾病蔓延的对策至关重要;积极的态度对于早期筛查至关重要。本研究旨在探讨居住在安曼的约旦人对MASLD的认识和态度,以确定公众对该疾病的认识和医务人员对该疾病的理解:本研究采用在线自填问卷的方式进行横断面研究,其中包括 5 个知识项目和 8 个态度项目。问卷还包括人口统计学问题,以进一步研究人口统计学因素对知识和态度的影响:在 906 名回答者中,女性占 63.4%,男性占 36.6%。大多数受访者的年龄在 18-30 岁之间(56.2%)。只有 49.5%的人以前了解 MASLD,44.6%的人认为自己有患 MASLD 的风险。年龄、性别、受教育程度、对 MASLD 的了解程度和积极态度之间存在统计学意义(p 结论):总体而言,约旦人对 MASLD 有一定的了解,并持积极态度。需要对其背后的原因进行更多的研究,并开展更多的宣传活动。
