The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes towards pregnancy-related issues of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection among general practitioners (GPs), a frontline healthcare worker group, in Indonesia.
A cross-sectional, online survey assessing knowledge and attitudes towards ZIKV infection on multiple-item scales was sent to GPs in the Sumatra and Java islands of Indonesia. The associations between independent factors and either knowledge or attitude were assessed with logistic regressions. The correlation and association between knowledge and attitude were estimated.
We included 457 (53.7%) out of 850 responses in the analysis. Among these, 304 (66.5%) and 111 (24.2%) respondents had a good knowledge and attitude, respectively. No demographic, workplace, professional development, or experiential characteristics related to ZIKV infection were associated with knowledge. In the multivariate analysis, only contact experience was associated with attitude. There was a significant, positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores.
Although knowledge of pregnancy-related complications of ZIKV infection is relatively high among GPs in Indonesia, more than 75% of them had a poor attitude towards pregnancy-related issues of Zika. Strategies for enhancing the capacity of GPs to develop positive attitudes and respond to ZIKV infection are needed.
本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚全科医生（GP）对寨卡病毒（ZIKV）感染与妊娠相关问题的知识和态度。
采用横断面、在线调查的方式，对印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛和爪哇岛的 GP 进行了多项关于 ZIKV 感染的知识和态度评估。采用逻辑回归评估了独立因素与知识或态度之间的相关性。同时，还评估了知识和态度之间的相关性和关联性。
我们纳入了 850 份回复中的 457 份（53.7%）进行分析。其中，304 份（66.5%）和 111 份（24.2%）的受访者对 ZIKV 感染具有良好的知识和态度。在多变量分析中，只有接触经历与态度相关。知识和态度评分之间存在显著的正相关关系。
尽管印度尼西亚的 GP 对寨卡病毒感染与妊娠相关并发症的知识相对较高，但仍有超过 75%的 GP 对寨卡病毒感染与妊娠相关问题的态度较差。需要制定策略，提高 GP 对 ZIKV 感染的能力，以培养积极的态度和应对 ZIKV 感染。
