摘要

目的:本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴医院和社区药剂师对 COVID-19 的相关知识、态度和实践:方法:通过向研究对象发放问卷的方式,向在医院和社区药房工作的药剂师发放自填问卷。收集到的数据被输入 IBM SPSS Statistics® Version 25 进行分析。采用二元逻辑分析法确定自变量与结果变量之间的关联:完成调查的 295 名参与者均表示听说过 COVID-19。几乎所有参与者都了解 COVID-19 的病原体、临床表现和传播途径。大多数参与者(92.2%)认为老年人是出现严重并发症和死亡的高危人群之一,89.5%的参与者认为支持疗法和生命支持是目前推荐的治疗方案。超过一半的受访者(53.2%)对 COVID-19 有足够的了解。在受访者中,89.8% 的人对遵循世卫组织建议以减少 COVID-19 传播的重要性持积极态度。只有 9.8%的受访者对本国医疗机构妥善处理 COVID-19 大流行的能力有信心。70.2%的参与者所在机构没有采取足够的防护措施来保护工作人员免受 COVID-19 的感染。在世界卫生组织推荐的预防措施中,97.3%的研究参与者采取了洗手措施:研究结果证实,研究参与者对 COVID-19 的每个具体方面都有很高的认知水平。然而,只有约一半的参与者对该疾病有足够的了解。药剂师对世界卫生组织建议的重要性持积极态度,而对国家应对该流行病的能力持消极态度。在机构层面,与 COVID-19 相关的实践不足。不过,大多数药剂师都采取了针对 COVID-19 的自我保护措施。所有利益相关者都应努力确保充分供应有助于控制大流行病的材料和服务。

COVID-19-Related Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Among Hospital and Community Pharmacists in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

COVID-19-Related Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Among Hospital and Community Pharmacists in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Purpose: This study was launched to assess COVID-19-related knowledge, attitude and practice among hospital and community pharmacists in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Methods: Self-administered questionnaire was distributed to pharmacists working in hospitals and community pharmacies by physically delivering the questionnaire to study subjects. Data collected were entered into and analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics® Version 25. Binary logistic analysis was used to determine the association between independent and outcome variables.

Results: All 295 participants who completed the survey stated that they had heard about COVID-19. Almost all of the participants were aware of the causative agent, the clinical manifestations and the ways of transmission of COVID-19. Most participants (92.2%) identified elderly individuals as one of the high-risk groups for severe complications and death while 89.5% identified supportive therapy and life support as recommended management options to date. More than half (53.2%) of the respondents were found to have adequate knowledge about COVID-19. Among respondents, 89.8% had a positive attitude on the importance of following WHO recommendations in reducing the transmission of COVID-19. Only 9.8% had confidence in the capacity of healthcare facilities in the country to properly handle potential COVID-19 pandemic. Inadequate protective measures were taken to protect the staff from COVID-19 in the institutions of 70.2% of the participants. Among the WHO recommended prevention measures, hand washing was exercised by 97.3% of the study participants.

Conclusion: The study findings confirmed that there is a high level of knowledge on each specific aspect of COVID-19 among the study participants. However, only about half of the participants had adequate knowledge about the disease. The pharmacists showed a predominantly positive attitude towards the importance of WHO recommendations and predominantly negative attitude towards the country's capacity to deal with the pandemic. The practice related to COVID-19 was inadequate at institutional level. Nevertheless, most of the pharmacists individually exercised self-protective measures against COVID-19. All stakeholders should work on ensuring the adequate supply of materials and services that aid in controlling the pandemic.
