This preliminary study investigated the: (i) level of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among members of Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences (KAHS), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) regarding Islamisation of knowledge (IOK);  (ii) correlation of KAP and IOK with the duration of service and level of exposure to IOK-related activities; (iii) comparison of KAP between departments in KAHS towards the understanding of IOK, and (iv) level of KAP in IOK between KAHS academics and non-academic staff.  Since studies on the integration of religious worldview in health sciences faculties are scarce, this study will be investigating the effectiveness of IOK programmes at the faculty level. A total of 74 staff participated in the study. The response rate was 65.5% out of 113 distributed questionnaires. All respondents have average knowledge (50±28%) in IOK and showed positive attitude (78±32.5%) towards IOK.  The knowledge of Islamisation in KAHS correlates positively with the duration of service (p<0.05) and the level of exposure to IOK-related activities (p<0.05). However, answers given to some questions indicated that the staff perceptions and knowledge of IOK are ambiguous and may suggest a misunderstanding of the Islamisation term. Furthermore, an average score was found among the academic respondents with regards to their integration of IOK into practice.  These shortcomings may affect the integration and implementation of IOK either in classrooms, clinics or offices and lead to a poor integration of the Islamisation agenda to the students as well as the patients. Hence, there is a need to design workshops and programmes more towards practical approaches of IOK into health-based sciences as well as the implementation of IOK agenda at the workplace, rather than the theoretical aspects per se. In conclusion, most of the respondents have positive attitude towards the IOK movement in KAHS despite the high level of knowledge among some members, in particular the academic staff, is not yet translated into practice.

A study was conducted to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of cigarette smoking among freshman students of Tokyo Metropolitan University of Health Sciences. Students were categorized as 'ever-smoker' or 'nonsmoker'. 18.3% of the 356 subjects were categorized as `ever-smoker'. The two categories were then compared to determine significant differences in health knowledge, attitudes towards health and smoking, smoking perceptions and preferences, knowledge on the economic impact of tobacco and attitudes towards tobacco control measures. In most cases, significant differences were found between the two groups. However, concerning knowledge on the economic impact of tobacco, the majority of both ever-smokers and non-smokers had poor knowledge. Increased tobacco control education and related efforts are needed as is further research in determining the factors or influences that shape the significant differences found. Such information will be invaluable in formulating appropriate tobacco control measures for the future. Asia Pac J Public Health 2000;12(1):17-21

Abstract Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a huge public health problem. Among health professionals, medical and health sciences college students are risk groups. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices towards Hepatitis B virus prevention and associated factors among private Medical, and Health Science’s College students in Bahir Dar city, North West Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1st – 30th /2017. All the available four private Medical and Health Sciences Colleges in Bahir Dar city were considered and included in the study to select 390 students using a systematic sampling technique. A pre-tested structured questionnaire, which has socio-demographic, knowledge, attitude and practice sections, was used to collect the data. Data were coded, entered and cleaned using Epi data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 21.0 software for analysis. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential variable for multivariable logistic regression and those variables with 0.2 and less P-value entered in the next logistic regression model to identify the possible factors associated with knowledge, attitude, and practice towards Hepatitis B virus prevention. Significance level was set at P-value less than 0.05. Results: The age of the respondents ranged from 18-48 years with the mean (±SD) age of 23.74(3.48). About eighty-four, percent (83.8%) of respondents had good knowledge, whereas 44.6% had a favorable attitude and 32.6% had a good practice. Being unmarried (AOR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.32-4.15), age category 20-24 (AOR=11.5, 95% C.I: 2.60-51.5), and ≥ 25 (AOR=11.6, 95% CI: 2.47-54.4) was associated to knowledge, whereas study year (AOR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.01,2.51) and practice (AOR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.89, 4.58) were significantly associated to attitudes; and good knowledge (AOR=2.07, 95% C.I: 1.06, 4.04) and favorable attitude (AOR=2.79, 95% CI: 1.79,4.34) were significantly associated with practice, respectively. Conclusion: The overall knowledge status of the respondents about Hepatitis B virus prevention was good. But their attitudes and practices were unfavorable and not good respectively.
