摘要
人类猴痘(HMP)是一种由正痘病毒引起的传染病。HMP于1970年在刚果首次在人类中被记录。自2022年5月以来,在包括一些中东国家在内的若干非流行国家发现了多例HMP病例。目的了解约旦医学生对HMP的认知情况。方法采用在线调查问卷进行横断面研究。565名医学生于2022年5月完成问卷调查。问卷收集了有关该病的知识来源、病原生物、自然宿主、传播方式、潜伏期、体征和症状、病程、诊断、预防、治疗和并发症等方面的数据。结果男性占总样本的39.6%。男生(35.7%)的知识知晓率明显高于女生(χ2 =10.0, P = 0.002),五年级(60.9%)和六年级(43.8%)的知识知晓率明显高于一、二、三年级(χ2 = 83, P<0.001)。正确了解体征和症状的比例最高(43.0%),其次是潜伏期、病程和疾病预防(分别为33.3%、32.6%和31.0%)。另一方面,最低的知识表现为:自然宿主(5.0%)、传播方式(9.2%)、社会心理影响(9.2%)、脆弱年龄组(14.2%)和并发症(14.2%)。大多数学生(82.3%)声称他们的知识来自社交媒体,其次是电视(16.3%)和大学(8.5%)。电视中对疫情知识了解不足的比例最高(47.8%),χ2 =20.6, p <0.001,有趣的是,71.7%的受访者对疫情知识了解不足,其中71.7%的受访者将社交媒体作为他们的知识来源。结论性别、高学历与知识充分性显著相关。社交媒体与学生知识不足显著相关。关键词:知识,猴痘,社交媒体,传染病
Knowledge of medical students in Jordan regarding monkeypox outbreak
Abstract
Introduction
Human Monkeypox (HMP) is an infectious disease attributed to the orthopoxvirus. HMP was firstly documented in humans in 1970 in the Congo. Since May 2022, multiple cases of HMP were identified in several non-endemic countries including some Middle Eastern countries.
Objective
This study aims to assess the knowledge about HMP among medical students in Jordan.
Methodology
A cross-sectional study was conducted using online based questionnaire. A sample of 565 medical students completed the questionnaire during May 2022. The questionnaire collected data regarding source of knowledge, causative organism, natural host, mode of transmission, incubation period, signs and symptoms, duration diagnosis prevention, treatment and complications of the disease.
Results
Males constituted (39.6 %) of the total sample. Significantly higher rate of knowledge was detected among males (35.7%) vs. females χ2 =10.0, P = 0.002, fifth (60.9%) and sixth (43.8%), vs. first, second and third academic years, χ2 = 83, P<0.001. Correct knowledge about signs and symptoms showed the highest rate (43.0%), followed by an Incubation period, duration and prevention of disease, (33.3%, 32.6% & 31.0%, respectively). On the other hand lowest knowledge exhibited regarding; natural host (5.0%), mode of transmission, (9.2%), psychosocial impact, (9.2%), vulnerable age group (14.2%), and complications (14.2%). Majority of students (82.3%) claimed that their knowledge was earned from social media followed by TV (16.3 %,), and the university (8,5%).TV had the highest rate (47.8%) with adequate knowledge, χ2 =20.6, p <0.001 interestingly, 71,7% of the respondents had inadequate knowledge about the outbreak and 70,7% of them, the social media was their source of knowledge.
Conclusion
Gender and higher academic year are significantly associated with adequate knowledge. Social media is significantly associated with inadequate knowledge among students.
