  1. Biostatistics Project(NNPD 6014) Under the supervision of : Prof. Madya Dr. SyarifHusinLubis

  2. Group Members: • Chong PekLian • Chow Paik Wah • Muhanna Mohammed • Norsofiahbt Abu Bakar • Pang KokLun • Wee Bee Suan

  3. Research Topic: Study of HIV infections knowledge and attitude level among Biomedical sciences undergraduate in UKM Kuala Lumpur campus (KKL) session 2011/2012.

  4. Introduction: • HIV • Human Immunodeficiency Virus • Cause the AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) • Prevalence: • ≈ 34 million people living with HIV in year 2010 (WHO 2011). • More than 100, 000 people living with HIV (M’sia). (UNGASS 2010; Ni & Htet 2012)

  5. Malaysian HIV/AIDS Knowledge • Malaysian young adults were found to be lacking of knowledge on HIV/AIDS (Wong et al. 2008). • UMS medical students generally showed high knowledge on HIV but still with some misconceptions (Ni & Htet 2012)

  6. Importance of Study: • Cross-sectional study on: • Knowledge level • Attitude level of Biomedical sciences student • Provide information for future HIV awareness or education program among undergraduates

  7. Research Question: • Is the HIV infections knowledge and attitude level GOOD amongBiomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012?

  8. Research Hypothesis: • The knowledge and attitude regarding HIV infections is good among Biomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012.

  9. General objective: • To study knowledge and attitude level of HIV infections among Biomedical sciences undergraduate UKM KKL 2011/2012.

  10. Specific objectives: • To find outknowledge and attitude level regarding HIV infections among Biomedical sciences undergraduate • To determine the association of HIV infections knowledge level with gender, race and year of study. • To determine the association of HIV infections attitude level with gender, race and year of study

  11. Research Design: Stratified random sampling All Biomedical science students in Malaysia Biomedical Science Students UKM-KKL Samples Pilot study Results Questionnaire Analysis Inferential study Descriptive study Discussion & Conclusion

  12. RESULT: Descriptive study • Total sample= 95

  13. Descriptive study MODERATE Knowledge Level 52.6% 42.1% 78.66±15.94 marks 4 Knowledge level Categories High ≥ 81 marks Moderate 54to 80 Low 27 to 53 Poor ≤ 26 4.2% 1.1%

  14. Misconceptions on HIV? • 99% of respondents claimed know about HIV • However, 26.6%do not know HIV is a kind of virus • 11%thought HIV infection can be cured • Some of them thought HIV can spread through: • Mosquito & insect (12.6%) • Kissing (28.4%) • Share towels and clothes (10.5%) • Food & drinks sharing (10.5%)

  15. DESCRIPTIVE STUDY 4 Attitude level Categories High = 61– 80marks Moderate = 41– 60 marks Low = 21 – 40marks Poor = 0-20marks Attitude level: High Attitude Level 63.55 ±6.57 Marks 67.4% HIGH ATTITUDE LEVEL 32.6%

  16. Attitude level (Descriptive Data Analysis) • 77.9% willing to have a HIV testing if the test is available. • 95.7% feel that someone should go for HIV testing before marriage & pregnancy. • 53.7% believed that HIV will have a cure soon.

  17. Attitude level (continue…) • 74.5% do not feel that HIV patients are immoral. • 72.6% can make friends with them. • 68.4% willing to invite them to have meal together. • 69.5% can accept if their family member is HIV patient. Generally, there is no hated, fear or discrimination on HIV patients

  18. Inferential study Gender Knowledge Association Race Attitude Year of Study

  19. 1.1 Associationbetween Knowledge Level with Gender 2 = 0.129, p= 0.719 1

  20. 1.2 Associationbetween Knowledge Level with Year of Study -Lower knowledge level. -Higherknowledge level. 2=10.163, p<0.01 2

  21. 1.3 Associationbetween Knowledge Level with Race 2 = 4.101 , p< 0.05 -Non-malay group shows higherknowledgelevel. 1

  22. 2.1 Associationbetween Attitude Level with Gender 2 = 0.333, p= 0.564 1

  23. 2.2 Association between Attitude Level with Year of study 2 = 0.621, p= 0.733 2

  24. 2.3 Associationbetween Attitude Level with Race 2 = 0.097, p= 0.756 1

  25. Discussion: • Overall: • Moderate knowledge level • High attitude level • Knowledge level associated with year of study and races • However, attitude level do not associated with gender, races and year of study.

  26. Discussion: • Misconception of our respondents – HIV transmission: • Mosquito & insect (12.6%) • Kissing (28.4%) • Food & drinks sharing (10.5%) • Physical contact (0%) • Research by Asian Muslim Action network (AMAN), 2005: • Mosquito & insect (21%) • Kissing (50%) • Food & drinks sharing (18%) • Research by Maswanya et al. 2000 (Japan): • Mosquito & insect (11.5%) Better Knowledge level • Research by Ni & Htet 2012 (UMS, M’sia): • Physical contact (21%)

  27. Discussion: • Attitude of our respondents: • HIV patients are not immoral (74.6%) • Can make friends with them (72.6%) • AIDS are not God’s punishment (53.2%) • Research by AMAN, 2005: • HIV patient have no morality (48%) • HIV patient are living in sin (52%) • HIV patient are helpless (70%) Better Attitude level

  28. Knowledge level associated with year of study and races • Syllabus of UKM Biomedical Sciences: • 1st year: Basic sciences knowledge • 2nd year & 3rd year: • Virology • Medical microbiology • Pathology • Epidemiology • Immunology • Hematology • Integrative diagnosis Related to HIV/ AIDS

  29. Conclusion: • Overall, • Knowledge level is MODERATE. • Attitude level is GOOD. • Knowledge level is associated with year of study and race
