Abstract:
Background & Objectives: Hepatitis B is a primary viral infection of the liver,
which could be transferred through saliva and blood. Hepatitis B is highly
transmissible therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the awareness about
this disease among dental students of Mazandaran University of Medical
Sciences in ۲۰۱۲-۲۰۱۳.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all
dental students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Data were
collected using questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using SPSS ۱۵.
Results: This study was performed on ۹۰ dental students (۴۵ male and ۴۵
female) admitted from ۲۰۰۸ to ۲۰۱۲. Approximately ۹۰% of the students
stated a virus to be the hepatitis agent and ۱۰۰% were aware that the liver
is the most involved organ in this disease. In addition, the majority of the
students cited the use of common syringe and toothbrush to be a cause of
hepatitis transmission, while ۸۰% believed that the disease is transmitted
through dental waste. There was a significant correlation between the
semester of study (P=۰.۰۱۸) and the level of awareness accordingly, the
awareness of the students increased in higher semesters. However, no
significant relationship was observed between the awareness of male and
female students (P=۰.۹۲۹).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, knowledge and attitudes of
students toward hepatitis B are within the moderate range. Since dental work
is a risk factor for the transmission of hepatitis B, it is recommended that
students be educated on the causes and prevention of this disease through
training courses.
