“…206 (67.7%) of the current study participants have also awareness about HIV/AIDs. This report is lower than the report from Malaysia, HIV remains the best known STD (83.6%) [14]; and higher than the report from Dilla, Ethiopia, the level of HIV/AIDS knowledge reported was 53% [15] and United Arab Emirates, the overall average knowledge score of HIV.AIDS was 61% [16].…”

The world population is composed of 18% of adolescents (10-19 years) and 26% of young people (10-24 years). Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge is an important predictor of an individual's sexual behavior. Adolescents in sub Saharan Africa, including the current study setting, Ethiopia has limited knowledge and attitude about sexual issues. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes on sexual and reproductive health issues among Sendafa high school and preparatory students. Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from May to July, 2016 G.C., at Sendafa high school and preparatory students. All unmarried and aged 13-24, who are attending school during the data collection were included in the study. Study participants were interviewed about their socio demographic characteristics and their knowledge and attitudes on sexual and reproductive health issues using structured questionnaire. A total of 304 Sendafa high school students were assessed for Knowledge and attitudes on sexual and reproductive health issues during study period. Out of the total, 165 (54.3%) were male and 139 (45.7%) were females. Two hundred forty eight 248 (81.5%) of the students knew about sexual transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDs 206 (67.7%) and Gonorrhea 80 (26.3%). The most frequent sources of information about SRH issue were 158 (51.9%), 151 (49.6%) and (45 (14.8%), school, Media and peers respectively.

“…9 Level of personal knowledge is considered essential for acquiring optimum health, in which, in this context, HIV/ AIDS knowledge represents the acquisition of scientific facts and information regarding the symptoms, way of transmission, adverse consequences, and prevention strategies of the disease. 10 The mean level of HIV/AIDS knowledge of undergraduate students is not universal, it varies among universities. For instance, studies from Historically Black College among African-American undergraduate students university (America) reported a high (96.5%) level of knowledge 11 and Bahir Dar university (Ethiopia) reported a relatively low (45.7%) level of knowledge.…”

Purpose University students are often a sexually active group that is at risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV. This risk depends on their level of knowledge towards the disease. Hence, HIV/AIDS related knowledge represents the acquisition of scientific facts and information regarding the symptoms, way of transmission, adverse consequences, and prevention strategies of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to assess level of HIV/AIDS related knowledge among regular undergraduate students of Madda Walabu University, Southeast Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 10–25, 2020. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select the study participants. Data were entered to Epi Data version 4.6.0.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. A bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with level of HIV/AIDS knowledge. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p -value<0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results A total of 442 study participants were included in the study. The level of HIV/AIDS knowledge among study participants was found to be 51.4%. Health science students [AOR=16.28 (8.21–32.28)], being in year III and above [AOR=5.34 (2.92–9.76)] and having monthly stipend >300 birr from parents and relatives [AOR=2.70 (1.34–5.48)] had a higher odds of a good level of HIV/AIDS knowledge. Conclusion Nearly half of the students had a poor level of HIV/AIDS knowledge. Field of study, year of the study, and monthly income were significantly associated with level of HIV/AIDS related knowledge. University-based HIV/AIDS education considering year of study has to be given, and risk reduction on focusing on behavioral change intervention are recommended.

BackgroundToday, flipped classroom (FC) has been widely used in medical education. However, the effectiveness of FC remains controversial. The variation may cause by different subjects or different course design. Moreover, those studies did not explain how the association among different domains of learning objective was in FCs. The purpose of this study was to explore the help of learning domains from a FC of suturing skill in year-5 medical students.DesignThis study determined sample size according to statistical power. A minimum number of 77 participants for regression analysis are needed. Therefore, this study enrolled 78 medical students in a 2-hour suturing course, which consisted of pre-class video and in-class instruction. Both simple and mattress suturing were taught. The students received an anonymous survey with questionnaire of Help from Instruction Questionnaire for Clinical Skills (HIQ-CS) after the course. The HIQ-CS was developed by medical education team according to Bloom's taxonomy, and its reliability was favorable (Cronbach's ^l = 0.839). Factor loadings among all items in the HIQ-CS was also favorable (0.790 to 0.849). This study determined consensus of students' perspective by median (Me) and interquartile range (IQR), and tested mediation among different learning domains by regression.ResultsThe results showed medical students agreed FC can help them in learning suturing (Me = 4, IQR = 1). The cognitive help (β = .526, p < .001) was completely mediated by psychomotor help (β = .399, p < .001) and affective help (β = .413, p < .001) to overall helps in FC. The affective help (β = .617, p < .001) was partially mediated by psychomotor help to overall helps in FC.ConclusionsFC may help students in learning suturing skill in different domains. Our model explains the cognitive help from FC provides an important foundation for the helps of other domains. Although the model should be examined by different curricula and measurements in future, the model of help from instruction in our study provided an innovated concept and framework in medical education.
