摘要

目的:本研究旨在评估尼泊尔一线医护人员对COVID - 19的知识和认知。方法:采用世界卫生组织的调查问卷,对尼泊尔参与COVID-19管理和治疗的一线医护人员进行了一项基于网络的横断面研究。数据分析使用社会科学统计软件包26.0版本。采用卡方检验在95%显著性水平下考察变量间的关联水平。结果:共有285名卫生专业人员参与本研究,其中男性占50.5%,女性占49.5%。参与者的平均(±SD)年龄为27.21±5.42岁。大多数参与者通过社交媒体(50.5%)和网络新闻/报纸(40.3%)获取新冠肺炎相关信息。另一方面,相当比例的卫生保健工作者(HCWs)对其传播(n=170, 59.6%)和潜伏期(n=129, 45.3%)知之甚少。结论:人们对该病的认识和认识存在较大差距,特别是对其传播和潜伏期的认识。一项有关的应对大流行病的国家倡议可有助于更好地遵守应对这一突发公共卫生事件的行为准则。

Knowledge and Perception of COVID-19 Pandemic during the First Wave: a Cross-Sectional Study among Nepalese Healthcare Workers
Objectives: This study aimed to assess knowledge and perception of COVID 19 among frontline health care workers in Nepal. Methods: A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among frontline healthcare workers involved in managing and treating COVID-19 in Nepal by adapting the questionnaire from the World Health Organization. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 26.0. A chi-square test was used to investigate the association level among variables at 95% level of significance. Results: A total of 285 health professionals participated in this study, among them male (50.5%), and female (49.5%). The mean (± SD) age of participants was 27.21 ± 5.42 years old. Most of the participants got information on COVID-19 from social media (50.5%) and online news/newspapers (40.3%). On the other hand, a significant proportion of Health care workers (HCWs) had poor knowledge about its transmission (n=170, 59.6%) and an incubation period (n=129, 45.3%). Conclusion: There was a significant gap in knowledge and perception, particularly about the transmission and incubation period. A concerned national initiative to respond the pandemic could help better compliance with behavioral guidelines to respond to this public health emergency.
