摘要

背景:对于预防类似当前COVID-19的呼吸道感染,口罩被认为是一种有效的方法。冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种高度传染性的病毒,它继续破坏生计,特别是社会低收入阶层的生计,世界各地对口罩的认识不足,同时对影响行为的态度存在巨大差距。因此,本研究旨在评估2021年埃塞俄比亚Debre-Tabor镇公共交通司机在COVID-19大流行期间对口罩使用的知识、态度和实践。方法:对2021年7月至8月Debre-Tabor镇407名公共交通司机进行横断面研究。研究对象采用简单随机抽样的方法,从公共交通司机总数中按比例分配样本量,最终选择在Debre- Tabor镇连续工作的公共交通司机作为研究对象。数据由训练有素的数据收集人员使用结构化问卷和面对面访谈管理的提问者和现场观察清单收集。对收集到的数据进行检查、编码,并输入SPSS版本23,进行数据清理和分析。结果:共407名司机参与问卷调查,问卷回复率为96.4%。平均年龄32.75岁(范围19 ~ 45岁)。其中男性居多,383人(94.1%),177人(43.5%)为巴贾吉族司机。在应答者中,114人(28%)使用无线电收集信息,41人(10.1%)使用新冠肺炎,但接种疫苗的只有30人(7.4%)。这些司机中有368人(90.4% [95% CI: 87.7-93.1])对使用口罩的知识、态度和行为有所了解。163例(40% [95% CI: 37.5% - 43.2%])和23例((5.6%)[95% CI: 3.7% - 8.3%])分别使用口罩预防COVID-19感染。结论和建议:目前的研究能够证明90.4%的司机有良好的知识。驾驶员对口罩使用的积极态度和实践水平分别不到一半(40%)和5.6%。外科口罩供应充足,但态度和做法不佳。尽管对COVID-19的传播途径有很好的了解,但几乎所有参与者都没有戴口罩。政府防疫专案组或保健部门应该继续提高认识,为实施以口罩为主的防疫方法带来行为上的改变。

Knowledge, attitude and practice towards facemask use amid the COVID-19 pandemic among public transport drivers in Debre-Tabor town, Ethiopia
Background: For the prevention of respiratory infection similar to the current pandemic COVID-19, face masks are considered an effective method. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable virus that continues to disrupt livelihoods, particularly those of low-income segments of society, around the world has poor knowledge towards facemask at the same time has huge gape towards attitude which affects the behaviors. Therefore this study was aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice towards facemask use amid the COVID-19 pandemic among public transport drivers in Debre-Tabor town, Ethiopia, 2021. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 407 public transport drivers in Debre-Tabor town from July to August 2021. The study participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique after proportionally allocating the sample size from the total number of public transport drivers, and finally, study subjects were elected continuously working in Debre- Tabor Town public transport drivers. The data were collected by trained data collectors using a structured questionnaire with face-to-face interview administered questioners and an on-the-spot observational checklist. The collected data were checked, coded, and entered into SPSS version 23, and for data cleaning and analysis. Result: A total of 407 drivers responded to the questionnaire with a response rate of 96.4% were participated in this study. The mean age was 32.75 years (range: 19-45 years). Among them majority was male 383(94.1%) and the majority of 177(43.5%) were Bajaj drives. Among the responders, 114(28%) used radio to gather information, and 41(10.1%) drivers where were caught by COVID-19, but, only 30(7.4%) were vaccinated COVID-19 vaccine. Knowledge, attitude and practices regarding facemask use among these drivers were 368(90.4% [95% CI: 87.7-93.1]). 163(40% [95% CI: 37.5% - 43.2%]), and 23 ((5.6%) [95% CI: 3.7% - 8.3%]) Regarding facemask use against COVID-19 infection respectively. Conclusion and recommendation: The current study was able to demonstrate 90.4% of drivers had good knowledge. Positive attitude and practice levels of face mask use among drivers were less than half of them or 40%, and 5.6% respectively. There is a high supply of Surgical Face masks but poor attitude and practice. Almost all of the participants don’t wear a face mask despite having good knowledge about the transmission routes of COVID-19. The government COVID-19 prevention task force or health sector should be continued their awareness creation to bring behavioral change for the implementation of the COVID-19 prevention method, especially facemask.
