To assess the level of preparedness of health professionals working in South Gondar Zone public hospital, Debre Tabor Comprehensive specialized Hospital for coronavirus.
An institutional-based cross-sectional survey was conducted with a self-administered questionnaire from April 20 to May 20. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, bivariable, and multivariable logistic analysis were done. Bivariable and multivariable regression was held to determine significant predictors for preparedness. For all statistical analyses, a p value ⩽ 0.05 was considered as significant.
From a total health professionals, 301 health professionals with a response rate of 86% participated in the study. Among these, 206 were males while 95 participants were females with a mean age of 29.71 ± 5.84 years. To determine the preparedness level, we use the mean preparedness score of the respondents. Around 64.1% of health professionals were well prepared. Among 20 respondents who had a chronic illness, 80% of them think their illness is risky for the pandemic. The majority of the respondents (229/76.1%) responded as they were working without protective equipment. From the multivariable analysis male sex (adjusted odds ratio = 2.07, 95% confidence interval = 1.193-3.590), family living with them (adjusted odds ratio = 4.507, 95% confidence interval = 1.863-10.90), and involvement of other previous outbreak (adjusted odds ratio = 2.245, 95% confidence interval = 1.176-4.286) were the predictors for good preparedness.
Most of the health professionals were well prepared. Being male, living within a family, and involvement of other outbreaks leads to good preparation. Governmental bodies and hospital managers have to help health professionals to be prepared enough to combat the pandemic.
评估在南贡德尔地区公立医院德布雷塔博尔综合专科医院工作的卫生专业人员对冠状病毒的防范水平。
于4月20日至5月20日采用自填式问卷进行了一项基于机构的横断面调查。进行了描述性统计、卡方检验、双变量和多变量逻辑分析。进行双变量和多变量回归以确定防范的重要预测因素。对于所有统计分析，p值≤0.05被视为具有统计学意义。
在全体卫生专业人员中，301名卫生专业人员参与了研究，回复率为86%。其中，男性206名，女性95名，平均年龄为29.71±5.84岁。为确定防范水平，我们使用了受访者的平均防范得分。约64.1%的卫生专业人员准备充分。在20名患有慢性病的受访者中，80%的人认为他们的疾病对大流行有风险。大多数受访者（229/76.1%）表示他们在没有防护设备的情况下工作。多变量分析显示，男性（调整后的优势比=2.07，95%置信区间=1.193 - 3.590）、与家人同住（调整后的优势比=4.507，95%置信区间=1.863 - 10.90）以及参与过其他疫情（调整后的优势比=2.245，95%置信区间=1.176 - 4.286）是准备充分的预测因素。
大多数卫生专业人员准备充分。男性、与家人同住以及参与过其他疫情会带来良好的准备状态。政府机构和医院管理人员必须帮助卫生专业人员做好充分准备以抗击疫情。
