Abstract

Objective: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an infectious disease that does not have a vaccine and negatively affects the quality of life of patients. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the knowledge levels and attitudes of intern dentistry students (group 1) and assistant dentists (group 2) about AIDS. Materials and Methods: Participants who volunteered for this cross-sectional study were distributed a questionnaire consisting of 3 parts (demographic characteristics, AIDS knowledge level and attitude) and multiple choice questions. Chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis. Statistical significance level was accepted as p 0.05). Conclusion: Although the results of this study show an acceptable awareness for both groups in terms of recognizing the AIDS and its transmission routes, there are still prejudices in terms of perspective and attitude towards the disease. Educational programs should be planned for physicians and physician candidates to have more information about the disease.

Özet

Amaç: Edinilmiş immün yetmezlik sendromu (AIDS) aşısı bulunmayan ve hastaların yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz etkileyen bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmada stajyer diş hekimliği öğrencileri (grup 1) ve asistan diş hekimlerinin (grup 2) AIDS ile ilgili bilgi düzeyleri ve tutumlarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma için gönüllü olan katılımcılara 3 bölümden oluşan (demografik özellikler, AIDS bilgi düzeyi ve tutum) ve çoktan seçmeli soruları bulunan bir anket dağıtılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde Ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, AIDS hastalığını tanıma ve bulaş yolları açısından her iki grup için de kabul edilebilir bir farkındalığı gösterse de hastalığa bakış açısı ve tutum açısından halen önyargılar mevcuttur. Hekim ve hekim adaylarının hastalığa dair daha fazla bilgi sahibi olabilmesi için eğitici programlar planlanması gerekmektedir.
