Abstract

This describes the level of knowledge and attitudes about HIV and their related factors among Cambodian adolescents. A cross-sectional design was used to examine the knowledge and attitude of 463 Cambodian high school students using HIV-KQ-18 (HIV-Knowledge Questionnaire-18) and HIV/AIDS Behavior Surveillance Survey Index (measuring attitude about HIV). The majority of the adolescents had a relatively low level of overall HIV knowledge (6.70 ± 3.66 (range: 0-16)) and held a very negative attitude (1.92 ± 0.87 points (range: 0-4)) toward the disease. Using multiple regression analysis, being male (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and using YouTube as a social network service (β = 0.33, p = 0.035) were found to be independent factors associated with higher level of HIV knowledge. Study findings suggest the importance of informing policymakers and school nurses about the need to develop a and require a culturally sensitive specific health education program on HIV for Cambodian adolescents.

이 연구는 캄보디아 청소년의 HIV 에 대한 지식과 태도를 파악하고 영향요인을 이해하기 위해 수행되었다. 캄보디아 3개 주에 거주 중인 고등학교 3학년생 463명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였으며 HIV-KQ-18 (HIV-Knowledge Questionnaire-18)과 HIV/AIDS Behavior Surveillance Survey Index (measuring attitude about HIV)을 이용하여 HIV 관련 지식과 태도를 측정하였다. 연구결과 캄보디아 청소년은 전반적으로 낮은 수준의 HIV 지식(6.70 ± 3.66 (range: 0-16))을 가지고 있었고 부정적인 태도(1.92 ± 0.87 points (range: 0-4))를 보였다. 남성(β = 0.28, p < 0.001), SNS 중 YouTube 사용(β = 0.33, p = 0.035) 이 높은 지식에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 캄보디아 청소년에게 문화사회적으로 수용 가능한 보건교육프로그램 개발과 운영에 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
