摘要

导语:医护人员是新冠肺炎疫情的一线防线,尤其是初级住院医生,是感染风险最高的人群之一。由于过度拥挤、劳动力减少、缺乏隔离设施、缺乏标准质量的个人防护设备、环境受到污染以及对感染控制措施的知识和实践不足,疾病在这些人中传播的情况更加严重。目的:评估印度初级住院医生对COVID-19的知识、态度和焦虑情况。方法:在2020年8月至10月期间对印度451名初级住院医生进行横断面研究。通过社交媒体平台向参与者分发了一份经过验证的35项问卷。采用滚雪球取样技术。结果:共纳入451名初级住院医师,其中女性占52.3%。超过90%的人对新冠肺炎有良好的了解。几乎所有的参与者都认为戴口罩(98%)和保持社交距离(100%)会降低COVID-19传播的风险,但政府法规不足以对抗这种疾病(63%)。研究参与者的焦虑水平较高。结论与建议:初级住院医师的焦虑水平较高。因此,精神和心理支持对他们至关重要,反过来对有效管理健康危机也至关重要。

Assessment of knowledge, attitude and anxiety among junior resident doctors in India during COVID-19 Pandemic
Introduction: Healthcare workers were the frontline defence against the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the junior resident doctors, and were among those at the highest risk of acquiring the disease. Disease transmission among them was worsened by overcrowding, lower work force, lack of isolation facilities, lack of standard quality personal protection equipment, contaminated environment and inadequate knowledge and practice of infection control practices. Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude and anxiety among junior resident doctors in India with respect to COVID-19 Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during August-October 2020 among 451 junior resident doctors in India. A validated 35-item questionnaire was distributed to the participants using social media platforms. The snowball sampling technique was used. Results: A total of 451 junior resident doctors were included as study participants, of whom 52.3% were women. More than 90% of them had a good level of knowledge regarding COVID-19.Almost allof the participants believed that wearing masks (98%) and keeping social distance (100%) would reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, but that government regulations were insufficient to combat the disease (63%). The level of anxiety among study participants was on the higher side. Conclusions & Recommendations: The level of anxiety among the junior resident doctors was relatively high. Therefore, mental and psychological support is crucial for them, and in turn, essential for effective management of the health crisis.
