HIV/AIDS remains a major public health concern globally and Health Care Workers (HCWs) are in the frontline of preventing and providing care in the health care system. The aim of this study was to evaluate HIV/AIDS knowledge among Iranian HCWs.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 HCWs who were randomly selected from health care centers in Kermanshah city, west of Iran, 2018. HCWs filled out a self-administered questionnaire including the socio-demographic characteristics and HIV/AIDS knowledge items. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 using bivariate correlations, t-test, and ANOVA statistical tests.
The mean score of HIV/AIDS knowledge was 29.73 [95% CI: 28.79, 30.67], ranged from 0 to 40 (74.3% of total percent). There was no significant association and correlation between HIV/AIDS knowledge and sex, education level, marital status, age and job history. Up to 50% had inadequate knowledge about HIV/AIDS status and transmission in Iran.
HCWs HIV/AIDS knowledge was average and it seems need to be educating regarding HIV/AIDS status and transmission in Iran.
全球范围内，艾滋病毒/艾滋病仍然是一个主要的公共卫生问题，医护人员处于医疗保健系统中预防和提供护理的第一线。本研究的目的是评估伊朗医护人员对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的了解情况。
2018年，在伊朗西部克尔曼沙赫市的医疗保健中心随机抽取200名医护人员进行了这项横断面研究。医护人员填写了一份自我管理的问卷，包括社会人口学特征和艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识项目。使用SPSS 16版通过双变量相关性、t检验和方差分析统计测试对数据进行分析。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识的平均得分为29.73[95%置信区间：28.79，30.67]，范围为0至40（占总分的74.3%）。艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识与性别、教育水平、婚姻状况、年龄和工作经历之间没有显著关联和相关性。在伊朗，高达50%的人对艾滋病毒/艾滋病状况和传播的了解不足。
医护人员对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的了解处于中等水平，似乎有必要就伊朗的艾滋病毒/艾滋病状况和传播进行教育。
