摘要

背景:COVID-19是一种高度传染性疾病和大流行疾病。人们对这种疾病的知识、态度和做法可以在更好地接受卫生官员和国家规划人员制定的行政行动方面发挥重要作用。目的:本研究旨在了解南呼罗珊省普通人群对COVID-19的知识、态度和行为水平及其影响因素。方法:这项横断面研究是对生活在伊朗南呼罗珊的699人进行的。参与者是通过方便抽样技术选择的。研究工具是一份改编自研究人员的调查问卷,其中包括人口统计学特征、15个关于意识的问题、12个关于态度的问题和7个关于实践的问题。数据分析采用独立t检验、单因素方差分析和Pearson相关系数。结果:被调查者的知识水平为73.13%,态度水平为80%,行为水平为84.85%。本病最常见的症状依次为呼吸短促、干咳、发热或头痛。超过一半的参与者(56.90%)感到有感染这种疾病的风险。大多数参与者洗手(80%)并使用口罩(79.60%)。意识与实践的相关系数为0.60。年龄较大、离婚和受教育程度较低的人的知识和实践水平较低。结论:尽管本研究中人们对COVID-19的知识、态度和行为水平较好,但仍需要通过电视、广播和社交媒体持续告知人们以维持现状。此外,由于穷人、农村人口、老年人、文盲和失业者的知识和实践水平较低,有关当局应采取新的方法和政策。

Background: COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease and a pandemic. Knowledge, attitude, and practice of people about this disease can play an essential role in better accepting executive actions set by health officials and national planners. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of the general population of South Khorasan province about COVID-19 and the influencing factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed online on 699 people living in South Khorasan, Iran. The participants were chosen by a convenience sampling technique. The research tool was an adapted questionnaire from researchers that included demographic characteristics, 15 questions on awareness, 12 questions on attitude, and seven questions on practice. Data were analyzed using the independent t test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice of the participants were 73.13, 80, and 84.85%, respectively. The most common symptoms of this disease were shortness of breath, dry cough, and fever or headache, in sequence. More than half of the participants (56.90%) felt at risk for contracting the disease. Most participants washed their hands (80%) and used a facemask (79.60%). The correlation between awareness and practice was 0.60. Older, divorced, and low-educated people had lower knowledge and practice. Conclusions: Despite that the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice of people was good regarding COVID-19 in this study, the continuous informing of the people through television, radio, and social media is needed for maintaining the status quo. Besides, new approaches and policies for the poor, rural populations, the elderly, the illiterate, and the unemployed should be adopted by relevant authorities due to their lower level of knowledge and practice.
