Abstract

Objective: The association of epilepsy with possession of spirits is common in Iraqi society, leading to the stigmatization of people with epilepsy for generations. Closing the knowledge gap of university students and improving their attitude is key to alleviating this stigma. Method: Researchers created a self-administered questionnaire that examined medical students' knowledge of epilepsy and their attitudes towards it. We obtained epilepsy knowledge scores and examined their association with gender and college specializations. Results: The results showed that among 120 students, 83% had good knowledge of epilepsy, and 17% of them had low knowledge. Some of the students distinguished epilepsy as a hereditary disease, 34.2%. They identified loss of consciousness, behavior change and memory disturbance as signs of epilepsy, 57.5%, and 70.8% of them thought that symptoms of seizures include falling to the ground and foaming at the mouth. Novelty: This study showed that students of the medical group from the University of Kufa have a relatively better understanding of positive attitudes towards certain aspects of epilepsy; however, there are misconceptions they have in different aspects.

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to assess knowledge level among nurses regarding infection control in burn units and to find out the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and their sociodemographic data. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from November 1st, 2023, until April 1st, 2024, involving a non-probability purposeful sample of 70 nurses working at the Burns Center in Najaf and Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital. Result: The findings indicated that the majority of nurses demonstrated a good knowledge level regarding infection control, with nurses’ educational level and the availability of protocols showing a statistically significant relationship with their knowledge. Novelty: This study highlights the critical role of nurses’ educational background and institutional support in shaping infection control practices in burn units, emphasizing the need for continuing education, larger-scale research across wider regions, and the use of mass media by the Ministry of Health to strengthen infection control knowledge among nursing staff.

Abstract

Objective: To assess knowledge, perceived barriers, and willingness toward influenza vaccination among undergraduate students at the University of Kufa, Iraq, to inform targeted health promotion strategies. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from February to March 2025 with 94 convenience-sampled undergraduate students from five colleges at the University of Kufa. Data were collected using a validated 32-item questionnaire assessing demographics, influenza vaccine knowledge, barriers, and willingness. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and correlation tests using SPSS. Results: Participants demonstrated moderate knowledge levels: 60.64% had fair knowledge and 39.36% good knowledge regarding influenza vaccination. Most (64.89%) perceived moderate barriers, including misperceptions about vaccine safety, fear of side effects, and accessibility challenges. Willingness to vaccinate was moderate in 58.51% but poor in 38.30% of students. Correlation analysis showed no significant relationships between knowledge, barriers, and willingness, indicating complex factors influencing vaccine acceptance beyond knowledge alone. Novelty: The findings reveal moderate awareness and willingness toward influenza vaccination, tempered by perceived barriers among university students. Vaccine acceptance appears driven by a multifaceted interplay of cognitive, emotional, and structural factors. Tailored, multifactorial interventions combining education, barrier reduction, and improved accessibility are essential to increase vaccine uptake in this population.
