Abstract

The study investigated knowledge, attitude, and preventive practice (KAP) concerning COVID-19 among Thai people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in January 2021. Google forms were used and shared through Line application. A set of KAP questionnaires was used to collect data. Results were analyzed using SPSS software.A total of 204 participants reported that they had a good knowledge;and possessed a positive attitude towards COVID-19. They were confident that Thailand can win the battle against COVID-19;and COVID-19 will be successfully controlled. For preventive behaviors, participants wore a face mask when leaving home and avoided crowded places. PLWHA who are on ART<1 year scored significantly higher as compared to both PLWHA who are on ART 1-5 years and who are on ART>5 years. About 26% of the participants reported television as the most commonly source of information on COVID-19. Our findings are valuable in informing nurses to plan an effective communication campaign by incorporating KAP regarding COVID-19 as modifying factors. © 2021, ResearchTrentz Academy Publishing Education Services.

泰国艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者对新冠肺炎的知识、态度和预防措施：一项在线调查

该研究调查了泰国艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者(PLWHA)对COVID-19的知识、态度和预防措施(KAP)。一项横断面在线调查于2021年1月进行。谷歌表单通过Line应用程序使用和共享。采用一套KAP问卷收集数据。采用SPSS软件对结果进行分析。共有204名参与者报告说，他们对COVID-19有很好的认识，并持积极的态度。他们相信，泰国一定能够打赢疫情防控阻击战，一定能够成功控制疫情。在预防行为方面，参与者出门时戴口罩，避免去人群密集的地方。接受抗逆转录病毒治疗5年的艾滋病患者。约26%的参与者报告说，电视是关于COVID-19的最常见信息来源。我们的研究结果在告知护士通过将COVID-19作为修改因素的KAP纳入有效的沟通活动方面具有价值。©2021，研究特伦茨学院出版教育服务。版权所有。
