Background: Education is needed as an action to reduce morbidity and mortality from sickle cell disease (SCD), an important but largely neglected risk to child survival in most African countries as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).Objective: To assess the knowledge of Kisangani University students in DRC regarding SCD.Methods: In this non-experimental, cross-sectional study, a validated questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of 2 112 Kisangani University students in DRC and data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results: Most participants, 92.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 91.7-93.9) were knowledgeable about SCD and have heard about it through schools and/or universities (46.3%), followed by family (34.5%) and health-care workers (23.5%). Nine hundred and seventy-three (46.1%; 95% CI: 44.0-48.2) and 37.9% (95% CI: 35.9-40.0) subjects indicated, respectively, that SCD is an acquired and hereditary disease. Moreover, 53.6% (95% CI: 51.5-55.7) said that the diagnosis of SCD is made by blood tests, while 46.2% (95% CI: 44.1-48.3) talked about urine tests. About 85.6% were unaware of the risk of children becoming sickle cell patients when both parents have SCD. To prevent SCD, pre-marital screening was cited by only 7.7% (95% CI: 6.6-8.9) of subjects and no measure was known by 25.4% (95% CI: 23.6-27.3). However, 79.6% (95% CI: 77.8-81.3) approved the need of pre-marital screening of SCD.Discussion: This study highlighted that the Kisangani university students' knowledge regarding SCD is poor and needs to be improved; education programs and motivational campaigns to be enhanced.

刚果民主共和国基桑加尼的学生对镰状细胞病的了解。

背景:需要进行教育,以减少镰状细胞病(SCD)的发病率和死亡率,这是大多数非洲国家如刚果民主共和国(DRC)对儿童生存的重要但很大程度上被忽视的风险。方法:在这项非实验性的横断面研究中,使用经验证的问卷调查表评估了2112名基桑加尼大学在刚果(金)的学生的知识,并使用SPSS 20版对数据进行了分析。参与者中,有92.9%(95%的置信区间[CI]:91.7-93.9)对SCD有所了解,并通过学校和/或大学(46.3%)听说过SCD,其次是家庭(34.5%)和医护人员( 23.5%)。九百七十三(46.1%; 95%CI:44.0-48.2)和37.9%(95%CI:35.9-40)。0)受试者分别指出SCD是一种获得性和遗传性疾病。此外,有53.6%(95%CI:51.5-55.7)认为通过血液检查可以诊断出SCD,而46.2%(95%CI:44.1-48.3)则是通过尿液检查来诊断的。当父母双方都患有SCD时,约有85.6%的儿童没有意识到患镰状细胞病的风险。为了预防SCD,只有7.7%(95%CI:6.6-8.9)的受试者引用了婚前筛查的方法,而25.4%(95%CI:23.6-27.3)的受试者则没有采取任何措施。然而,有79.6%(95%CI:77.8-81.3)批准了对SCD进行婚前筛查的必要性。讨论:这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。6%(95%CI:51.5-55.7)表示SCD的诊断是通过血液检查,而46.2%(95%CI:44.1-48.3)谈到了尿液检查。当父母双方都患有SCD时,约有85.6%的儿童没有意识到患镰状细胞病的风险。为了预防SCD,只有7.7%(95%CI:6.6-8.9)的受试者引用了婚前筛查的方法,而25.4%(95%CI:23.6-27.3)的受试者则没有采取任何措施。然而,有79.6%(95%CI:77.8-81.3)批准了对SCD进行婚前筛查的必要性。讨论:这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。6%(95%CI:51.5-55.7)表示SCD的诊断是通过血液检查,而46.2%(95%CI:44.1-48.3)谈到了尿液检查。当父母双方都患有SCD时,约有85.6%的儿童没有意识到患镰状细胞病的风险。为了预防SCD,只有7.7%(95%CI:6.6-8.9)的受试者引用了婚前筛查的方法,而25.4%(95%CI:23.6-27.3)的受试者则没有采取任何措施。然而,有79.6%(95%CI:77.8-81.3)批准了对SCD进行婚前筛查的必要性。讨论:这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。6%的父母没有意识到当父母双方都患有SCD时儿童成为镰状细胞患者的风险。为了预防SCD,只有7.7%(95%CI:6.6-8.9)的受试者引用了婚前筛查的方法,而25.4%(95%CI:23.6-27.3)的受试者则没有采取任何措施。然而,有79.6%(95%CI:77.8-81.3)批准了对SCD进行婚前筛查的必要性。讨论:这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。6%的父母没有意识到当父母双方都患有SCD时儿童成为镰状细胞患者的风险。为了预防SCD,只有7.7%(95%CI:6.6-8.9)的受试者引用了婚前筛查的方法,而25.4%(95%CI:23.6-27.3)的受试者则没有采取任何措施。然而,有79.6%(95%CI:77.8-81.3)批准了对SCD进行婚前筛查的必要性。讨论:这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。这项研究强调,基桑加尼大学生对SCD的了解很差,需要加以改进。教育计划和动机运动有待加强。
