Abstract
Background: Black fungus infection is a life-threatening fungal infection associated
with an increasing morbidity and mortality despite the availability of therapeutic tools.
Aim: To assess nursing student‘s knowledge and preventive measures regarding black
fungus infection. Study design: A descriptive cross sectional study design was used.
Study setting: This study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing, Tanta University.
Study subjects: A random sample of 1145 nursing students. Tools: Two tools were
used. Tool I: A structured questionnaire schedule included two parts: Part (1): Socio
demographic characteristics of the nursing students and part (2): Knowledge of the
nursing students about black fungus diseases. Tool ІІ: Self-reported measures of
nursing students regarding preventive measures of black fungus diseases. Results: The
majority (92.9%) of nursing students displayed low level of knowledge about black
fungus infection. The study revealed that 58.5% of the students exhibited satisfactory
practices. Total knowledge score positively correlated with total reported practices
score. Conclusion: There was a highly statistically significant positive correlation
between total knowledge score and total practices score. Recommendations: Organize
workshops or webinars with infectious disease specialists or experts in mycology
to update nursing students about emerging trends in the diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention of mucormycosis
