The purpose of this study is to investigate freshmen’s knowledge about AIDS when they receive summer military training at Cheng-Kong Mountain. The target group consisted 1524 students among 18,515 trainees. Conducted in Oct. 1991, the investigation was preceded by using pre-test and professional questionnaires that register 100% availability. Analyzed with SPSS/PC statistic program, percentage, average, marginal error, x^2 and one way ANOVA, what follows are the results: Testees scored an unsatisfying average of 14.265 ranging from 22, the highest (also a full) score, to 0. Familiarity with the symptoms and pathogenesis of AIDS is so alarmingly low that detailed clinical education should ve further implemented. Testees’ knowledge about AIDS mainly came from their classmates and peers. Other sources are: medical reports, pornographic publications, video tapes, people engaged in the medical field, siblings, and parents (arranged by degree of influence). The main cause of demographic deviation lies in testees’ college majors, which are directly related to their academic aptitude. The results serve as points to be emphasized when educational campaign against AIDS are launched. Authorities are recommended to put more restrictions on pornographic publications, which mislead teenagers. While AIDS patients are getting younger, it is suggested that adult (sexual) education be expanded and implemented on students of all ages. |
