Abstract
To have a particular phobia or fear is a standout amongst the most predominant mental issues. A type of phobia, the blood-injection-injury (BII) phobia is considered as one of the many phobias that are prevalent in the human population. BII phobia is an intense and can be characterized as an unreasonable fear or avoidance of the blood along with blood-related materials including injections, injuries, and also various invasive medical related interventions. Hence, with this background, the current cross-sectional study aims at determining the total frequency and causes behind medical students suffering from blood-injection-injury. In addition, since no research up till now has been conducted within this population in Lahore, Pakistan, it is very important to find the most common manifestation and to analyse the overall impact of blood-injection-injury (BII) phobia on medical students in order to provide reasonable solutions. All the medical students of Allama Iqbal Medical College from 1st to final year were included in the study including both hostelites and day scholars. Data was collected with the help of a questionnaire and data analysis was done using SPSS version 17. Based on the results, out of 400 students who responded to the study, 29.1% had blood-injection-injury phobia. Among the phobic symptoms, nausea was the most common symptom with a prevalence of 41.9%, followed by hypotension with 37.8% and fainting with 20.3%. 6% of the medical students experiencing this phobia have considered changing their work field, 11.3% have considered changing their area of specialization and 8.8% think that this phobia will affect their future prospects in the field of medicine.
