摘要

尽管感染率和死亡率有所下降,但 COVID-19 仍是一个重大的全球健康问题。本研究深入探讨了加纳药剂师对 COVID-19 大流行或另一波 COVID-19 的知识、看法和准备情况。2023 年 5 月至 7 月期间,对加纳所有 16 个地区的药剂师进行了横向调查,共记录了 1199 份回复。数据使用 IBM 统计产品和服务解决方案 (SPSS) 进行分析。受访者中有 629 名男性(52.5%)和 570 名女性(47.5%)。我们的研究显示,98% 的参与者对与知识相关的问题给予了积极反馈。研究还发现,药剂师对冠状病毒症状、传播途径、疾病严重程度和预防措施的态度有充分的了解。研究使用与疾病污染、感染和对疾病的恐惧程度相关的问题,分析了加纳药剂师对 COVID-19 感知易感性的反应。加纳药剂师的乐观行为和认知值得称赞。然而,只有 45% 的药剂师对自己的防备水平有信心,这说明迫切需要更新信息和感染控制政策。所有医疗保健专业人员都应获得包含最新信息的感染控制政策。此外,加纳需要一个大流行病管理蓝图。

Comprehensive Analysis of Knowledge, Perception, and Preparedness of Ghanaian Pharmacists Towards a Pandemic or Another Wave of COVID-19
Despite the decline in infection and death rates, COVID-19 remains a significant global health concern. This study delves into Ghanaian pharmacists' knowledge, perception, and preparedness towards a pandemic or another wave of COVID-19. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pharmacists across all 16 regions of Ghana between May and July of 2023, with a total of 1199 responses recorded. The data was analyzed using IBM Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS). Of the respondents, 629 (52.5%) were males, while 570 (47.5%) were females. Our study reveals that 98% of the participants provided positive feedback about knowledge-related questions. The study also found an adequate understanding of pharmacists' attitudes toward coronavirus symptoms, transmission, disease severity, and preventive measures. Ghanaian pharmacists' responses toward the perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 were analyzed using questions related to disease contamination, contracting, and fear level due to the disease. The optimistic behaviour and perception of Ghanaian pharmacists were commendable. However, only 45% of the pharmacists were confident about their level of preparedness, underlining the urgent need for updated information and infection control policies. Infection control policies with updated information should be available for all healthcare professionals. Moreover, Ghana needs a blueprint for pandemic management.
