This study focuses on nursing and medical students, assessing their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding food safety. This non-random cross-sectional study was conducted between October and December 2022, with 1100 students (721 nursing and 379 medical) completing self-administered questionnaires. 949 (86.3%) of the respondents were female and 151 (13.7%) were male (mean age 20.90 ± 1.74). Nursing students outperformed medical students in food safety KAP scores (19.45 ± 3.19 vs. 19.13 ± 3.36), (10.61 ± 1.52 vs. 10.27 ± 1.80), and (46.96 ± 6.48 vs. 42.87 ± 6.49), with significant differences in food safety attitudes and practices (p < 0.05), as well as knowledge regarding personal hygiene, food preparation, cooking, foodborne pathogens, and cross-contamination (p < 0.05). Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis revealed predictors of food safety knowledge, including age, residence, academic year, personal food poisoning experience, and familiarity with food safety authority (p < 0.05). Similarly, institutional context, gender, income, residential status, academic year, personal cooking habit, father's education level, and mother's education level had a substantial impact on the attitudes of students. Predictors of safe food handling practices encompassed institutional context, age, gender, family monthly income, residential status, academic year, father's education level, personal food poisoning experience, and familiarity with food safety authority (p < 0.05). These findings highlighted the need for targeted educational interventions to improve food safety KAP among nursing and medical students considering their forthcoming responsibilities as carers.

探索护理和医学生的食品安全知识、态度和实践：孟加拉国横断面研究的见解

本研究重点关注护理和医学生，评估他们有关食品安全的知识、态度和实践 (KAP)。这项非随机横断面研究于 2022 年 10 月至 12 月期间进行，有 1100 名学生（721 名护理学生和 379 名医学学生）完成了自填问卷。949 名 (86.3%) 受访者为女性，151 名 (13.7%) 为男性（平均年龄 20.90 ± 1.74）。护理生在食品安全KAP得分上优于医学生（19.45±3.19比19.13±3.36）、（10.61±1.52比10.27±1.80）和（46.96±6.48比42.87±6.49），食品安全方面差异显着态度和做法 ( p  < 0.05)，以及有关个人卫生、食品准备、烹饪、食源性病原体和交叉污染的知识 ( p  < 0.05)。多元逐步线性回归分析揭示了食品安全知识的预测因素，包括年龄、居住地、学年、个人食物中毒经历以及对食品安全当局的熟悉程度（p  < 0.05）。同样，制度背景、性别、收入、居住状况、学年、个人烹饪习惯、父亲的教育水平和母亲的教育水平对学生的态度有显着影响。安全食品处理实践的预测因素包括机构背景、年龄、性别、家庭月收入、居住状况、学年、父亲的教育水平、个人食物中毒经历以及对食品安全当局的熟悉程度（p <  0.05）。这些发现强调，考虑到护理人员和医学生即将承担的护理人员责任，需要采取有针对性的教育干预措施来提高他们的食品安全 KAP。
