To understand the awareness of chikungunya fever knowledge and its related factors among medical college students in Baise City, so as to provide a scientific basis to offer relevant courses and special education.
From July to August 2025, 7 286 enrolled medical students were selected by a sampling method from a medical college in Baise City to participate in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, and prevention/control knowledge of chikungunya fever. Statistical analyses including the Chi-quare test and multivariate Logistic regression models were performed.
The overall awareness rate of chikungunya fever knowledge among the medical students was 18.89%. Among the knowledge items, the awareness rate of "the high-incidence season" was the highest (84.05%), while that of "the infectious period" was the lowest (17.80%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medical students with female (aOR=1.37, 95%CI=1.20-1.57), the age for over 25 years old (aOR=1.76, 95%CI=1.05-2.93), whose father had a middle school educational level (aOR=1.18, 95%CI=1.05-1.31), and majored in preventive medicine (aOR=1.54, 95%CI=1.10-1.67) had relatively higher awareness rates of chikungunya fever knowledge (all P < 0.05). In contrast, students of Zhuang ethnicity (aOR=0.87, 95%CI=0.76-0.98) and majoring in nursing (aOR=0.74, 95%CI=0.61-0.91) or pharmacy (aOR=0.70, 95%CI=0.52-0.95) had relatively lower awareness rates (all P < 0.05).
The awareness rate of chikungunya fever-related knowledge among medical college students in Baise City is relatively low. Schools should take targeted publicity measures to improve medical students' awareness.
