INTRODUCTION
The current study aims to understand and assess the consequences of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on Palestinian families.
METHODS
This online community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between 19 April 2020 and 5 June 2020, using a validated questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised of three sections: sociodemographic characteristics, living conditions, and impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A convenience sampling method was used to select participants.
RESULTS
A total of 570 adults aged ⩾18 years participated in the study. Of them, 258 (45.3%), 120 (21%), and 192 (33.7%) were residing in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, respectively. A large portion of participants (73.2%) reported that the containment measures of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic had caused an excessive burden on their families; 549 (96.3%) revealed that water supplies were not always available at home. However, paying attention to personal hygiene and home cleaning was more than usual before the announcement of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The mean times of going out of their homes have dropped significantly following the onset of the pandemic, value = 0.001 (95% confidence interval). In addition, 192 (33.7%) participants reported that they changed to working remotely from home with 66 (11.6%) having lost their employment.
CONCLUSION
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic was associated with an additional burden on the Palestinian families. Moreover, we suggest discussing the obtained results with local and national stakeholders to ensure that they know to improve their actions.
引言
本研究旨在了解和评估2019年冠状病毒病疫情对巴勒斯坦家庭的影响。
方法
本基于社区的在线横断面描述性研究于2020年4月19日至2020年6月5日进行，使用经过验证的问卷。问卷包括三个部分：社会人口学特征、生活条件以及2019年冠状病毒病疫情的影响。采用便利抽样方法选择参与者。
结果
共有570名年龄≥18岁的成年人参与了该研究。其中，分别有258人（45.3%）、120人（21%）和192人（33.7%）居住在加沙地带、约旦河西岸和东耶路撒冷。很大一部分参与者（73.2%）报告称，2019年冠状病毒病疫情的防控措施给他们的家庭带来了过重负担；549人（96.3%）表示家中并非总能获得供水。然而，在2019年冠状病毒病疫情宣布之前，人们比以往更加注重个人卫生和家庭清洁。疫情爆发后，参与者外出的平均次数显著下降，P值=0.001（95%置信区间）。此外，192名（33.7%）参与者报告称他们改为在家远程工作，其中66人（11.6%）失去了工作。
结论
2019年冠状病毒病疫情给巴勒斯坦家庭带来了额外负担。此外，我们建议与地方和国家利益相关者讨论所得结果，以确保他们了解如何改进行动。
