AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition of the infection routes, symptoms and
treatments of HBV by students of health-related departments so as to help students learn correct
knowledge about hepatitis B and provide the basic data for establishment of oral health policies to
prevent hepatitis B and improve the quality of infection management.
For the subjects of this study, 666 students of health-related departments and other departments
of universities in Daegu City, Gyeongbuk Province were arbitrarily chosen and given a questionnaire.
Then the questionnaires collected between October 1st and 31st, 2007 were analyzed. Major
findings from this study are summarized below.
1. Regarding general characteristics of the subjects, 311 were students of health-related departments
and 355 were students of other departments. 55.9% of the health-related department students
and 49.0% of the other department students received immunization against hepatitis.
36.0% of the health-related department students and 31.6% of the other department students
had antibodies.
2. Regarding the recognition of the infection routes of HBV, the right answer “Infected through
placenta” was chosen by more juniors(94.4%), sophomores(93.8%) and freshmen(74.1%) of
health-related departments than other students in this order (P<0.05). The answer “Infected
through sexual intercourse” was chosen by the highest percentage(75.0%) of juniors followed by freshmen(69.2%) and sophomores(31.9%) (P<0.05).
3. The percentages of health-related department students who knew that “HBV can develop into
hepatic cirrhosis or liver cirrhosis were the highest among juniors(88.9%), freshmen(87.7%) and
sophomores(68.8%) in this order(P<0.05). Among the other department students, the percentages
of right answers to the question “Acute HBV infection shows jaundice” were the highest
among juniors(75.0%), sophomores(74.8%) and freshmen(58.7%)(P<0.05).
