ABSTRACT

Introduction: Èbola virus causes hemorrhagic febrile viral disease of Èbola, a severe infectious disease, highly contagious, with a high mortality level, which affects animals and humans; a health problem which may become epidemic worldwide without a suitable control.
Objective: evaluate knowledge about Èbola disease of 5th year medicine students from September to November 2018.
Methods: an educational intervention study about Èbola disease for 5th year medicine students, through an educational program from the identification of their needs, with one summary to measure their knowledge level about fundamental aspects of this disease, was carried out.
Results: the age group with suitable knowledge about the subject was between 21 and 24 (60, 52%). Females predominated with (82, 85%). When they all watch the film included in the educational program, the same age group predominated (65, 51%).
Conclusions: before the intervention, 5th year medicine student’s knowledge level about Èbola disease was inadequate. Educational intervention method was successfully applied. As the conclusion of the educational intervention, adequate and sufficient knowledge increased and those incorrect were modified.
