In this study, we aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning the transmission routes of an H1N1 pandemic and the protective measures of health professionals at a university hospital in Turkey.
A stratified systematic sampling method was used to select the sample size of the study group. A total of 22 professors, 29 researchers, and 26 nurses were included in the study.
The mean scores of the individuals were 8.4±2.5 (over 20) for knowledge about H1N1 transmission, 27.6±4.0 (over 60) for knowledge about protection against H1N1, 25.8±4.2 (over 45) for correct or appropriate attitudes, and 33.6±8.9 (over 60) for correct behaviors. A negative correlation between total knowledge and behavior was found (p < 0.001, r = -0.543).
In epidemics, standard protection measures should be known and applied. Regarding this topic, the web page of the Ministry of Health comes to the forefront as a reliable source of information in addition to scientific explanations.
在本研究中,我们旨在评估土耳其一家大学医院的卫生专业人员对甲型H1N1流感大流行传播途径及防护措施的知识、态度和行为。
采用分层系统抽样方法确定研究组的样本量。共有22名教授、29名研究人员和26名护士纳入本研究。
个体在甲型H1N1流感传播知识方面的平均得分为8.4±2.5(满分20分以上),在甲型H1N1流感防护知识方面的平均得分为27.6±4.0(满分60分以上),在正确或恰当态度方面的平均得分为25.8±4.2(满分45分以上),在正确行为方面的平均得分为33.6±8.9(满分60分以上)。发现知识总分与行为之间存在负相关(p<0.001,r=-0.543)。
在流行病期间,应了解并应用标准防护措施。关于这一主题,除科学解释外,卫生部的网页是可靠的信息来源。
