Khảo sát kiến thức, thái độ về thực hành giảm thiểu ô nhiễm rác thải nhựa và một số yếu tố liên quan của sinh viên Trường Đại học Y Dược Cần Thơ

Abstract

A study surveyed 600 students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy on their knowledge, attitudes, and factors related to plastic waste reduction practices. The results showed that 42.5% of students had fairly good knowledge, 36.0% had high knowledge, but 21.2% only had basic knowledge about plastic waste pollution reduction practices. Regarding attitudes, 77.8% of students showed very positive attitudes, 6.5% were relatively positive, while 15.7% were not yet positive about plastic waste pollution reduction practices. Correlation analysis indicated that certain social factors such as the learning environment, friends, and media had varying influences on knowledge and attitudes, with media being the most influential and consistent factor. Other factors, such as school policies and Youth Union - Student Association activities, played supportive roles in reinforcing awareness and promoting positive behavior. The study results suggest the need to strengthen the integration of environmental education in the training curriculum, innovate green communication methods, and enhance the role of student organizations to build a sustainable school environment aiming for more effective plastic waste reduction.
