Knowledge Attitude And Practice

Abstract Medical students often experience significant stress during their undergraduate training. Evidence has shown short-term yoga to be effective in decreasing stress in students. This study aimed to assess knowledge about, attitude toward, and practice of (KAP) yoga among medical students. A secondary objective was to analyze their dietary habits and physical activity. Participants consisted of 224 medical students aged 18–23 years in pre- and paraclinical groups. A closed-ended KAP questionnaire was used to collect data. Anthropometric measurements were taken. Results showed that paraclinical students (70.5%) favorably perceived the health benefits of yoga. Nearly three-fourths of study subjects had previously practiced yoga; greater numbers intended to practice yoga in the future. About 95.5% of the preclinical students who had done yoga had discontinued the practice. Perceived barriers to the practice of yoga were lack of time, insufficient facilities, lack of company, and lack of interest. Consideration of the undergraduates' lifestyle revealed that 50.4% of preclinical students did not exercise, and they routinely consumed more junk food with fewer servings of fresh fruits/salads. Preclinical students exhibited higher BMI and waist circumference compared to paraclinical students. Findings suggest that knowledge of and attitude regarding yoga were good among medical undergraduates.

10528 Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and the demand for oncologist and palliative care specialists is increasing dramatically. Two years ago, The Universidad de Panama incorporated Oncology in the curriculum in order to face the shortage of professionals involved in cancer care. Little information is available concerning young medical students desire to pursue a career in oncology.The aim of this study is to evalute medical students perception about Oncology as a specialization field. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to medical students from Universidad de Panama after finishing Oncology rotation the last 2 years. Chi square and Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare variables. Results: 145 questionnaries were responded (40%). 60% female and 40% male. Median age was 25 years old. Clinical rotation during Oncology practices were: 37% in Medical Oncology, 24% in Surgical Oncology, 21% in Radiation Oncology and 18% in Palliative Care. 20% (29) of students are highly motivated to pursue a career in Oncology. 8 in Radiation Oncology. 8 in Surgical Oncology, 8 in Medical Oncology and 5 in Palliative Care. Variable associated with a oncology preference were: male gender (p=0.007), lack of human resources (p=0.009), contact with patients and family (p=0.005), good experience with mentor (p=0.002), nature and complexity of disease (p<0.001). Potential emotional burden was negatively asssociated (p=0.004) with oncology preference. 66% of students acknowledged that clinical rotation changed positively their perception about cancer patient care and a third of students haved not rule out the possibility to choose Oncology in the near future. Conclusions: Early exposition to medical student to cancer care might help to reduce the global shortage of oncologist and palliative specialists.

The Way

Background: Two reviews done in the 1980's showed that many Canadian medical schools scheduled relatively little time for dermatological teaching. Many students did not have a real clinical exposure to dermatology. Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain new data to reevaluate the undergraduate training in dermatology in Canada. Methods: A survey was sent to the coordinators of undergraduate dermatology of all 16 Canadian medical schools. Results: The survey of medical schools demonstrates the current status of dermatology undergraduate teaching across Canada. Although many improvements have been made in the way dermatology is taught to medical students, many of the problems noticed in the 1980s remain unresolved. Conclusion: Because dermatological care in Canada is often rendered by nondermatologists, the dermatologists should emphasize the importance of undergraduate training in their specialty.
