Knowledge,attitudes,and practices about hepatitis B prevention and control among undergraduates:a cross-sectional study in Chengyang district of Qingdao in 2023
Objective To explore knowledge,attitudes,and practices about hepatitis B prevention and control among undergraduates.Methods We used a cluster random sampling method to select undergraduates from two universities in Chengyang district of Qingdao city for a questionnaire-based survey.We analyzed scores of knowledge,positive attitudes,and positive practices about hepatitis B prevention and control;maximum questionnaire scores were 9,8,and 2 points,respectively.Results Among 925 subjects,rates of having knowledge,positive attitudes,and practices ranged from 49.62％to 92.00％,20.22％to 95.78％,and 24.76％to 56.22％,respectively,with median(interquartile)scores being 6.00(5.00-8.00),2.00(2.00-5.00),and 1.00(0.00-1.00).Scores for knowledge positively correlated with scores for positive attitudes and scores for positive practices(r=0.136,P＜0.01;r=0.194,P＜0.01).Conclusions The levels of awareness of knowledge,positive attitudes,and positive practices about hepatitis B prevention and control were generally low among undergraduates in the two surveyed universities.We suggest strengthening health education on hepatitis B prevention and control for undergraduates.
