Abstract

Setting: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at an increased risk of TB worldwide. Individual knowledge and attitudes may influence HCW behaviour, and subsequently, TB risk. Indonesia has the second highest case-load globally.

Objective: To measure TB knowledge and attitudes among a subsection of HCWs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and to explore factors associated with knowledge.

Design: A cross-sectional study using an online survey targeting all HCW staff was conducted among HCWs from four pre-selected healthcare facilities in Yogyakarta. Descriptive analysis and a multivariable linear regression were undertaken.

Results: Of 792 HCWs, 290 (37%) completed the survey; 64% (n = 185) were medical staff, 33% (n = 95) reported previously being tested for active TB and 8% (n = 24) for latent TB. The mean knowledge score was 7.2/11 (SD 1.5): this was higher among medical staff and those with university education (average score increase: 0.53, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.90; and 0.38, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.74, respectively). Participants agreed that free access to TB screening (93%) and treatment (93%) should be available, and 57% of medical and 77% of non-medical staff would take preventive therapy if eligible.

Conclusion: Participants had practical understanding of TB; however, gaps were identified in knowledge about TB disease progression and prevention. Prevention programmes were viewed positively. We suggest further TB education and engagement programmes for HCWs.

印度尼西亚日惹医护人员对结核病的认识和态度。

背景：在全球范围内，医护人员（HCWs）罹患肺结核的风险都在增加。个人的知识和态度可能会影响医护人员的行为，进而影响结核病风险。印度尼西亚是全球病例数第二高的国家：测量印尼日惹部分高危卫生工作者的结核病知识和态度，并探讨与知识相关的因素：设计：在日惹四个预选医疗机构的医护人员中开展了一项横断面研究，采用在线调查的方式对所有医护人员进行调查。研究进行了描述性分析和多变量线性回归：在 792 名医护人员中，有 290 人（37%）完成了调查；64%（n = 185）为医务人员，33%（n = 95）称曾接受过活动性肺结核检测，8%（n = 24）称曾接受过潜伏性肺结核检测。平均知识得分为 7.2/11（标准差 1.5）：医务人员和受过大学教育的人员得分更高（平均得分增加了 0.53，95% CI）：平均得分分别增加了 0.53，95% CI 0.15 至 0.90；以及 0.38，95% CI 0.01 至 0.74）。参与者同意应提供免费的结核病筛查（93%）和治疗（93%），57%的医务人员和 77%的非医务人员会在符合条件的情况下接受预防性治疗：结论：参与者对结核病有切实的了解，但在结核病进展和预防方面的知识存在差距。预防计划得到了积极的评价。我们建议针对医护人员进一步开展结核病教育和参与计划。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
