Abstract

Introduction

Medically-complicated obesity, a major public health issue due to the ineffectiveness of traditional treatments, is increasingly managed through bariatric surgery. This study investigates the knowledge of clinical year students about bariatric surgery at RAKMHSU. It aims to assess their awareness and understanding of this crucial intervention for severe obesity and its related health risks.

Materials and Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted over three months at RAK Medical and Health Sciences University (RAKMHSU) and utilized a survey to assess perception regarding bariatric surgery among clinical year students from RAK College of Medical Sciences (RAKCOMS) and RAK College of Nursing (RAKCONS). A pre-validated questionnaire was employed, and participants were randomly selected. Data analysis focused on the reliability of the tool and the student’s perception.

Results

The study included 197 participants, comprising 162 medical and 35 nursing students. Significant differences emerged in three areas: nursing students preferred daily exercise more (Q6), believed in the greater likelihood of weight regain post-surgery (Q9), and were more aware of disease susceptibility (Q13) compared to medical students. Correlation analysis revealed that students who felt body shape affected self-confidence had better bariatric surgery knowledge and BMI calculation experience. Notable correlations were found between specific questions, with significant positive correlations observed among nursing students but not medical students.

Discussion

Obesity is a global epidemic with rising prevalence, including in the UAE, where 43% of expatriates are overweight and 32.3% obese. Environmental factors, such as low physical activity due to climate and cultural norms, exacerbate the issue. Our study revealed good knowledge of BMI among participants, reflecting awareness of obesity's risks. However, concerns about bariatric surgery safety persist, with 32% of participants wary of complications. Despite this, the most recognized bariatric surgery is a viable option for medical conditions like PCOS. Educational interventions are essential to address misconceptions, promote informed decisions, and bridge gaps in exercise habits and referral practices.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while many medical and nursing students demonstrate a solid understanding of bariatric surgery, hesitations and misconceptions persist. Continuous education is essential to address these concerns, enhance knowledge, and align perceptions with clinical advancements. By doing so, future healthcare professionals can make informed decisions and provide better care for patients with severe obesity, ultimately improving outcomes and fostering greater acceptance of evidence-based surgical interventions.
