Abstract:
Objective To take Ebola virus disease (EVD) as an example and analyze the capability of responding to emerging infectious diseases among medical university students in Chongqing city.Methods Medical university students of 2 094 in Chongqing were selected and investigated by cluster sampling.Questionnaire content includes social demographic information,knowledge,attitude,practice (KAP) and related factors about EVD.The variables of the respondents were described using mean and standard deviation for continuous variables and frequency distributions for categorical variables.Influencing factors were analyzed by using multiple-linear regression model.Results The average scores of KAP regarding EVD were 9.51 ±-3.97,5.93± 1.85,3.35 ±1.43,respectively.Multiple-linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of KAP regarding EVD were gender (x2 =0.773,P=0.000),residence (x2 =0.886,P=0.014) and health habits (x2 =0.316,P=0.008);gender (x2 =0.474,P=0.000),grade (x2 =0.118,P=0.024),residence (x2 =0.401,P=0.016) and health habits (x2 =0.307,P=0.000);gender (x2 =0.223,P=0.001),major (x2 =0.152,P=0.000) and health habits (x2 =0.231,P=0.000).Conclusion The capability of responding to emerging infectious diseases is not optimistic among medical university students.Medical universities should perform effective intervention according to the characters of different clusters.
