Abstract

This study was done to identify the levels of knowledge and attitude toward HIV/AIDS in professional graduate medical school students. A cross-sectional survey was used, and data were collected in 2014. Participants were 97 students in South Korea. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 19.0 program. The mean score for HIV/AIDS knowledge was 8.91 and attitude was 7.00 out of 15. The levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitude were not statistically significantly different according to participants' general characteristics. There was a statistically significant correlation between the levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge and attitude. Medical students having a high HIV/AIDS knowledge level tended more towards a positive attitude. These findings can be used in developing effective education strategies for medical students and health care providers to increase knowledge and decrease negative attitude toward HIV/AIDS.

본 연구는 의학전문대학원 학생의 HIV/AIDS에 대한 지식과 태도를 조사하기 위해 시행된 횡단적 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 J도의 일 대학 의학전문대학원 3학년 학생 97명으로 2014년 8월 4일부터 12월 8일까지 자료수집이 실시되었으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 의학전문대학원 학생들의 HIV/AIDS 관련 지식과 태도는 각각 15점 만점에 평균 8.91, 7.00으로 나타났으며, 지식과 태도는 대상자들의 특성에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 대상자들의 HIV/AIDS 관련 지식과 태도 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 양적 상관관계(r=.34, p<.01)를 보여 지식이 높을수록 태도 또한 긍정적인 경향을 보임이 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 예비의료인 및 의료인의 HIV/AIDS 관련 지식을 증진시키고 부정적인 태도를 감소시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 효과적인 교육제공을 위한 구체적인 실행전략 개발에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.
