Abstract

Healthcare workers (HCWs) in Afghanistan faced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional, online survey was conducted from July 4, 2020 to July 12, 2020 to evaluate the working conditions and health situation of HCWs in Afghanistan during the pandemic. Healthcare workers from 34 provinces, who were actively working in Afghan hospitals, were invited to participate in this study; 925 HCWs completed the survey. The results showed that 85% of the HCWs participated in the study were tested positive for COVID-19. This highlights the critical need of HCWs for personal protective equipment when caring for suspected and/or confirmed cases of the COVID-19.

摘要

阿富汗的医护人员（HCWs）在 COVID-19 大流行期间面临许多挑战。本项横断面在线调查于 2020 年 7 月 4 日至 2020 年 7 月 12 日进行，旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行期间阿富汗 HCWs 的工作条件和健康状况。邀请了来自阿富汗 34 个省份、正在阿富汗医院工作的医护人员参加本研究；共有 925 名 HCWs 完成了调查。结果显示，85%的参与研究的 HCWs 新冠病毒检测呈阳性。这突出表明，在照顾 COVID-19 疑似和/或确诊病例时，HCWs 急需个人防护设备。
