AWARENESS OF STUDENTS OF SEMEY MEDICAL UNIVERSITY ABOUT THE PREVENTION OF ORAL CANDIDIASIS
Background: Oral candidiasis is a common fungal infection with an increasing prevalence. Key risk factors include weakened immunity, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and dysbiosis. However, students’ awareness of preventive measures remains low.
Purpose: To assess the awareness of oral candidiasis, its risk factors, and prevention among NCJSC «Semey Medical University» students and to determine the influence of age, gender, and year of study on their knowledge.
Materials and Methods: Study design: cross-sectional study. An anonymous online survey was conducted among 109 students. Pearson’s chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Most students lacked knowledge about oral candidiasis prevention. Age and year of study were statistically significant factors influencing awareness (p < 0.05), while no gender differences were observed (p > 0.05). Students aged 25–30 were more knowledgeable than younger age groups (16–18 years).
Conclusion: Increasing students’ awareness of oral candidiasis prevention is essential. It is important to promote educational initiatives, encourage the rational use of antibiotics, and prevent dysbiosis.
