学生旷课是世界范围内大学教育的一个主要问题。这项研究是为了确定哈瓦萨大学医学和健康科学本科生的缺勤率和原因。我们于2013年5月至6月使用预测的自填式结构化问卷进行了一项横断面研究。主要结果指标是在研究期间之前的一个学期自我报告的缺课情况。这项研究包括了所有在该大学注册了至少一个学期的普通本科生。将数据录入并使用SPSS20版进行分析。通过双变量和多变量分析确定班级旷课与旷工的社会人口学和行为相关因素之间的关联。结果被报告为原始优势比(COR)、调整后优势比(AOR)和95%可信区间(CI)。1200名学生同意并填写了调查问卷。在这些学生中，43.7%的学生在前一学期缺课3次或以上，14.1%的学生(95%CI = 12.2-16.2)缺课8次以上。缺席8次以上的讲座与学生的年龄、选择的学科(医学)和社会药物使用之间存在显著的关联。报告缺课的主要原因是准备再次考试、缺乏兴趣、讲师的教学风格和讲课材料的可用性。在哈瓦萨大学医学与健康科学学院，学生的习惯和教师的表现是造成旷课的原因之一。提倡纪律和正直的大学文化，特别是在医科和大龄学生中，不鼓励社交吸毒，可能会提高动力和出勤率。为提高授课质量和授课质量而进行的教学方法培训也应有助于提高出席率。
Student absenteeism is a major concern for university education worldwide. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and causes of absenteeism among undergraduate medical and health sciences students at Hawassa University. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a pretested self-administered structured questionnaire from May-June 2013. The primary outcome indicator was self-reported absenteeism from lectures in the semester preceding the study period. The study included all regular undergraduate students who were enrolled in the University for at least one semester. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The association between class absenteeism and socio-demographic and behavioral correlates of absenteeism was determined by bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results were reported as crude odds ratios (COR), adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). 1200 students consented and filled the questionnaire. Of these students, 43.7% had missed three or more lectures and 14.1% (95% CI = 12.2-16.2) missed more than 8 lectures in the preceding semester. There was a significant association between missing more than 8 lectures and age of students, chosen discipline (medicine), and social drug use. The main reasons reported for missing lectures were preparing for another examination, lack of interest, lecturer’s teaching style, and availability of lecture material. At Hawassa University College of Medicine and Health Science student habits and teacher performance play a role in absenteeism from lectures. A university culture that promotes discipline and integrity especially among medical and older students discourages social drug use will likely improve motivation and attendance. Training in teaching methodologies to improve the quality and delivery of lectures should also help increase attendance.
