Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a critical world concern, with Healthcare Workers (HCWs) at a high risk of infection. Thus, a suffi cient level of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) must be ensured. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the KAP toward COVID-19 among HCWs in Shiraz, Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on a large sample of HCWs dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in multiple hospitals affi liated to the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The survey featured four sections: demographic data, Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice. An expert panel validated the questionnaire, and its reliability was ensured through a pilot study on 20 HCWs (Cronbach’ s alpha = 0. 9). Results: We found that 72. 8% of HCWs had suffi cient Knowledge, 66. 65% indicated correct Attitudes, and 67. 72% described good Practices. However, 24. 23% thought adequate protective equipment or facilities are unavailable. The Knowledge scores were lowest on prevention and diagnosis, though symptoms were well-recognized. The male gender was correlated with more correct Attitudes. Among nurses, 2-5 years of work experience was associated with better Practice, with a master’ s degree being related to more positive Attitudes. Conclusions: The KAP of HCWs toward COVID-19 are acceptable in Shiraz, but further education and training is benefi cial, especially on disinfectants and prevention; reassurance regarding protective equipment is also vital.
