Abstract

A novel corona virus (nCoV) was recognized on seven January 2020 and was temporarily named “2019-nCoV”. It was subsequently named the “Covid-19 virus globally. The objective of the study is to assess the knowledge and the preventive practice on Covid-19 among teachers and students of Mahalaxmi municipality in Dhankuta. Descriptive analytical cross-sectional design was used.  A census method was used to choose the respondents. A semi- structured questionnaire was used to collect the data among 387 respondents. Frequency, percentage, mean, median and standard deviation were used to assess the knowledge and preventive practice on Covid-19 with teachers and students.. Inferential analysis i.e. multivariate logistic regression was used to find the relationship between dependent and selected demographic variables. Half (50.6%) of the respondents had good level of knowledge on Covid-19.  Two-forth (50.4%) of respondents had poor practice on Covid-19 and less than two-forth (49.6%) of respondents had good practice. Multivariate analysis shows that there is association among levels of practice with ethnicity (p=0.007; aOR =0.576; CI=0.385-.862) and mother education (p=0.003; aOR =1.228; CI=1.072-.1.407).There is significant association between level of practice and ethnicity (p=0.004; aOR=1.810; CI=1.202- 2.726) and mother’s education (p=0.002; aOR=0.804; CI=0.700-0.923). The study concluded that nearly half (49.4%) had still poor level of knowledge and more two-forth (50.4%) of the respondents had poor level of practice on Covid-19 so awareness programmed should be conducted to enhance the Knowledge and practice of teachers and students of Mahalaxmi municipality.
尼泊尔丹库塔地区农村学校师生对Covid-19的知识与实践
2020年1月7日,一种新型冠状病毒(nCoV)被确认,并暂时命名为“2019-nCoV”。它随后被全球命名为“Covid-19病毒”。本研究的目的是评估丹库塔马哈拉克米市师生对Covid-19的知识和预防做法。采用描述性分析截面设计。采用人口普查方法选择调查对象。采用半结构化问卷对387名受访者进行数据收集。采用频次、百分比、平均值、中位数和标准差对师生Covid-19知识和预防实践情况进行评估。采用多元逻辑回归的推理分析方法来发现被选人口变量与被选人口变量之间的关系。一半(50.6%)的受访者对新冠肺炎有良好的认识。四分之二(50.4%)的受访者对新冠肺炎采取了不良措施,不到四分之二(49.6%)的受访者采取了良好措施。多变量分析显示,实践水平与种族之间存在关联(p=0.007;aOR = 0.576;CI=0.385- 0.862)和母亲教育程度(p=0.003;aOR = 1.228;CI = 1.072 -.1.407)。实践水平与种族之间存在显著关联(p=0.004;aOR = 1.810;CI=1.202- 2.726)和母亲受教育程度(p=0.002;aOR = 0.804;CI = 0.700 - -0.923)。该研究得出的结论是,近一半(49.4%)的受访者对Covid-19的知识水平仍然很差,超过四分之二(50.4%)的受访者对Covid-19的实践水平很差,因此应开展宣传计划,以提高马哈拉克西米市师生的知识和实践。
