| description | Objective: To study the radiological features of sinusitis, its intracranial and orbital complications.
Study Design: A case series design.
Place and Duration of Study: Radiology Department, Shifa International Hospital, from March 16, 2016, to June 28, 2018.
Material and Methods: There were four major groups of students, which included newly inducted Medical students, FSC. students, Engineering students and students of Biomedical Sciences. A questionnaire consisting of 20 YES/NO responses and 6 multiple choice questions was given. SPSS 23.0 software was used for analysis of data using frequency and chi-square tests and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Among the 500 subjects recruited in this cross-sectional study, a total of 434(86.8%) had some idea about thalassemia. The p-value was less than 0.05 (p<0.05) The range of percentage of correct answers was between 35.6% (about iron rich diet) and 95.2% (about the affected cells). The attitudinal patterns of all the students towards thalassemia revealed that 93.2% students wanted to be informed about the disease at their respective institution. 90.6% were willing to learn their carrier status and 91.4% were ready to amend their future in case of risky prospects.
Conclusion: The awareness regarding the general aspects of thalassemia is reasonably sufficient among the students in urban educational institutions of Rawalpindi/Islamabad, there is some level of disparity in the degree of knowledge between different groups of students. There is need of sessions based on knowledge of thalassemia among non-medical students also. |
