AB OBJECTIVES: To evaluate knowledge attitudes and practices of moroccan
medical residents towards HIV infection. METHODS: In june 1993, we
conducted a survey based on the interview of all medical residents in
Morocco. The technic was based on a face to face interview during which
each resident had to fill a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS: A total
of 240 medical residents were interviewed among 300 (80%). The two main
reasons for not interviewing 60 residents are related to their annual
vacancy and to their training abroad. Among the most interesting
results, we notice the fact that 79.2% of the residents don't know all
the mode of transmission of the HIV virus; and 98.3% are unaware of the
case notification procedure in the country. Concerning their clinical
practice, 42.9% of the interviewed residents suggest to put a red stick
on the medical records and the laboratory list of AIDS patients. In fact
33% propose to limit or reduce laboratories exams for such patients.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This study underlines the urgency of
informing and educating medical residents in Morocco. This
sensibilization should have three goals: improving the scientific
knowledge, changing a health care behavior and integrating ethical
aspects in the care setting.
