摘要

背景:乙型肝炎是一种危及生命的病毒感染,可引起急性和慢性肝病。乙型肝炎感染是尼日利亚的地方病,全国合并流行率为9.5%。然而,一种安全有效的疫苗可以预防乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)。目的:本研究评估了埃基提州一所私立大学的非医学本科生对乙肝疫苗的了解以及接种疫苗的相关因素。材料和方法:这项调查是一项横断面研究,涉及尼日利亚埃基提州一所私立大学的420名非医学本科生,采用多阶段抽样技术。数据是在2019年3月至5月期间使用结构化的预测试自我管理问卷收集的。采用SPSS 23进行分析,其显著性水平为P<0.05。结果:调查对象的平均年龄为20.3±2.7岁。近一半的学生(47.4%)年龄在15-19岁之间。女性占受访者的51.4%,主要信奉基督教(77.4%)。大多数受访者对HBV疫苗有很好的了解(77.6%)。略高于四分之一(26。9%)的受访者已经接种了一剂或多剂乙肝疫苗。受访者的年龄(P=0.032)、研究学院(P=0.006)、对乙肝疫苗的良好了解(P<0.001)和乙肝疫苗的接种之间存在统计学上显著的相关性。与接种乙肝疫苗相关的因素包括年龄较大的人群(25-29岁)、理工学院的学生身份以及对乙肝疫苗的良好了解。结论:大多数受访者对乙肝疫苗有良好的了解。乙型肝炎疫苗接种的相关因素包括年龄(25-29)岁、理工学院的学生身份以及对乙型肝炎疫苗的良好了解。建议对大学生进行乙肝及其疫苗的健康教育,提高乙肝疫苗的接种率。

Knowledge and associated factors for the uptake of hepatitis B vaccine among nonmedical undergraduate students in a private university in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Background: Hepatitis B is a life-threatening viral infection that causes acute and chronic diseases of the liver. Hepatitis B infection is endemic in Nigeria with a national pooled prevalence rate of 9.5%. However, a safe and effective vaccine that offers the protection against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is available. Aim: This study assessed the knowledge of hepatitis B vaccine and the associated factors for the uptake of the vaccine among non medical undergraduate in a Private University in Ekiti State. Materials and Methods: This survey is a cross-sectional study involving 420 nonmedical undergraduate students of a private university in Ekiti State, Nigeria, using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured pretested self-administered questionnaire between March and May 2019. Analysis was done using SPSS version 23, and the level of significance was taken as P < 0.05. Results: The mean age of respondents was 20.3 ± 2.7 years. Almost half of the students (47.4%) were within the age range of 15–19 years. Females constitute 51.4% of the respondents and mostly practiced Christianity (77.4%). The majority of respondents had good knowledge of HBV vaccine (77.6%). Just a little over a quarter (26. 9%) of the respondents have taken one or more doses of hepatitis B vaccine. There was a statistically significant association between respondents' age (P = 0.032), the college of study (P = 0.006), and good knowledge of HBV vaccine (P < 0.001) and uptake of hepatitis B vaccine. The factors associated with uptake of hepatitis B vaccine include older age group (25–29 years), studentship in the college of science, and good knowledge of hepatitis B vaccine. Conclusion: The majority of respondents had good knowledge of hepatitis B vaccine. Associated factors identified for uptake of hepatitis B vaccine include age (25–29) years, studentship in faculty of science, and good knowledge of hepatitis B vaccine. It is recommended that health education about hepatitis B and its vaccine should be offered to undergraduates to increase the uptake of hepatitis B vaccine.
