4,725 times higher (95% CI: 3,01 - 7,41; p<0,001). Regarding subjects, students of
Traditional Medicine, Preventive Medicine, and Nursing have knowledge rates of
3,64 times (95% CI: 1,59 - 8,35) and 5,89 times, respectively. 95% CI: 2,25 - 15,45),
5,16 times (95% CI: 2,138 - 12,450) compared to general students (p<0,05).
Conclusion: Knowledge about monkeypox among students of Hanoi Medical
University participating in the survey is still deficient. Gender and discipline showed
significant associations with student’s knowledge levels. The above results raise the
urgency of improving knowledge about monkeypox in aluminum subjects.
