Abstract

Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among house officers and post graduate trainees towards COVID-19 in tertiary care hospitals. Methods: An online questionnaire was used as research tool to collect data from 115 house officers and post graduate trainees working in tertiary care hospitals. Questionnaire was divided into three sections. Knowledge was assessed on basis of choosing the best option, attitude was evaluated with agree/disagree and practices were considered on yes/no format. Data was analyzed with SPSS 24®(Armonk NY:IBM corp). Results: 115 doctors responded to online survey. Mean age was 26.92±2.92, 62(53.9%) were female and 53(46.1%) were male. Regarding the status of participants, 46(40%) were house officers and 69(60%) were post graduate residents. Considering the domain of knowledge, maximum score was 12 and minimum was4. Mean score was 8.75. It was observed that 82(71.3%) participants agreed that COVID-19 will be successfully controlled, while 114 (99.1%) of participants counselled patients and their attendants about preventive measures. Regarding practice domain, 110(95.7%) participants replied in affirmative that they wore mask when leaving home while 19(16.5%) had undergone training for nasopharyngeal sample collection. Only 45(39.1%) had undergone training for doffing and donning. Pearson correlation was applied between the three domains and status of doctors. It was observed that postgraduate residents were significantly better in Covid-19 related knowledge (p<.05). Among the three domains, no significant relationship was observed.

研究生和内务官员对新冠肺炎的知识、态度和实践

目的：评估三级护理医院内务官员和研究生学员对新冠肺炎的知识、态度和实践。方法：使用在线问卷作为研究工具，收集115名家庭官员和在三级护理医院工作的研究生的数据。问卷分为三个部分。在选择最佳选项的基础上评估知识，以同意/不同意的方式评估态度，并以是/否的形式考虑实践。数据采用SPSS 24®（Armonk NY:IBM corp）进行分析。结果：115名医生接受了在线调查。平均年龄26.92±2.92岁，女性62例（53.9%），男性53例（46.1%）。关于参与者的状况，46人（40%）是内务官员，69人（60%）是研究生。考虑到知识领域，最高分为12分，最低分为4分。平均得分为8.75。据观察，82名（71.3%）参与者同意新冠肺炎将得到成功控制，114名（99.1%）参与者向患者及其护理人员提供预防措施咨询。关于实践领域，110名（95.7%）参与者肯定地回答说，他们离开家时戴着口罩，而19名（16.5%）参与者接受了鼻咽样本采集培训。只有45人（39.1%）接受过脱下和穿上的训练。Pearson相关性应用于三个领域和医生的地位之间。研究发现，研究生住院医师在新冠肺炎相关知识方面明显更好（p<.05）。在这三个领域中，没有观察到显著的关系。结论：尽管在知识和实践中发现了需要改进的因素，但医生们仍持积极态度。关键词：新冠肺炎，知识，态度，实践如何引用：Tarique S.，Sarwar S.，研究生实习生和内务官员中关于新冠肺炎的知识，态度和实践。Esculapio 2021；17（02）：179-182。
