Abstract

Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards COVID-19 and its associated factors among house officers. Methods: A multicentered crosssectional study on house officers was carried out using an online self-administered questionnaire. Sociodemographic data and data related to KAP towards COVID-19 were collected. Besides, KAP level of the house offices was recorded and factors associated with good KAP were determined. Results: This study included 555 house officers from 10 different hospitals with 128 males and 427 females. Almost half of the house officers had good knowledge and a favorable attitude (46.1% and 51%, respectively) on COVID-19. Still, 82.5% of them were committed to good practice of preventive measures. Besides, percentages of good knowledge and practice among those with chronic diseases or those who knew someone infected with SARS-CoV-2 were higher, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition, the percentages of females with good practice were higher than those of males, with no statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: House officers showed a good KAP towards COVID-19. Being aware of gaps in KAP can help to effectively contain the current pandemic.

住房官员对COVID-19的知识、态度和实践:埃及的一项多中心横断面研究

目的:了解房管人员对新冠肺炎的知识、态度和行为(KAP)及其相关因素。方法:采用在线自填问卷对住院部工作人员进行多中心横断面研究。收集社会人口学数据和COVID-19 KAP相关数据。此外，还记录了家庭办公室的KAP水平，并确定了良好KAP的相关因素。结果:本研究包括来自10家不同医院的555名住院部官员，其中男性128人，女性427人。对新冠肺炎的认识和态度分别为46.1%和51%，接近一半。尽管如此，其中82.5%的人承诺采取良好的预防措施。慢性疾病患者和认识SARS-CoV-2感染者的良好知识和行为百分比较高，但差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。此外，良好实践的女性比例高于男性，但差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。结论:院务人员对COVID-19表现出良好的KAP。认识到KAP方面的差距有助于有效遏制当前的大流行。
