OBJECTIVES
This study is aimed to assess factors associated with knowledge, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 among health care professional's working in South Wollo Zone Hospitals, Northeast Ethiopia.
METHODS
Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 health care professionals from 10 July to 10 August 2020, at the South Wollo Zone. A pre-tested self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Both bi- and multi-variable logistic regressions were fitted to identify variables significantly associated with the outcome variables. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval and -value < 0.05 were used to determine significant factors.
RESULTS
About 92.4%, 64%, and 55% of the respondents had good knowledge, favorable attitude, and good practices toward corona virus disease, respectively. Being female (adjusted odds ratio = 0.23, confidence interval: 0.10, 0.56), age ⩾ 35 years (adjusted odds ratio = 0.14, confidence interval: 0.22, 0.84), being unmarried (adjusted odds ratio = 0.20, confidence interval: 0.70, 0.59), getting information from radio and television (adjusted odds ratio = 6.02, confidence interval: 2.09, 17.36), having average monthly income 93.55-163.67 USD (adjusted odds ratio = 8.00, confidence interval: 0.94, 33.10), and average monthly income > 163.70 USD (adjusted odds ratio = 11.41, confidence interval: 1.41, 15.23) were significantly associated with good knowledge about COVID-19. In addition, being unmarried (adjusted odds ratio = 0.70, confidence interval: 0.49, 0.97), having bachelor of science degree and above (adjusted odds ratio = 1.87, confidence interval: 2.24, 2.83), and getting information from seminars and workshops (adjusted odds ratio = 0.59, confidence interval: 0.35, 0.98) had association with good practice toward COVID-19 prevention and control method.
CONCLUSION
More than 90% of the health care workers have good knowledge; nearly half of the respondents had unfavorable attitudes and poor practice toward COVID-19. The findings imply that the government and other stakeholders should implement further strategies for enhancing to change health care professional's attitude and encourage to practice prevention and control methods.
目的
本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚东北部南沃洛地区医院医护人员对新冠病毒病的知识、态度和实践相关因素。
方法
2020年7月10日至8月10日在南沃洛地区对422名医护人员开展了基于机构的横断面研究。使用预先测试的自填式结构化问卷收集数据。采用双变量和多变量逻辑回归来识别与结果变量显著相关的变量。使用95%置信区间的调整后比值比和P值<0.05来确定显著因素。
结果
分别约有92.4%、64%和55%的受访者对冠状病毒病有良好的知识、积极的态度和良好的实践。女性（调整后比值比=0.23，置信区间：0.10，0.56）、年龄≥35岁（调整后比值比=0.14，置信区间：0.22，0.84）、未婚（调整后比值比=0.20，置信区间：0.70，0.59）、从广播和电视获取信息（调整后比值比=6.02，置信区间：2.09，17.36）、月平均收入93.55 - 163.67美元（调整后比值比=8.00，置信区间：0.94，33.10）以及月平均收入>163.70美元（调整后比值比=11.41，置信区间：1.41，15.23）与对新冠病毒病的良好知识显著相关。此外，未婚（调整后比值比=0.70，置信区间：0.49，0.97）、拥有理学学士学位及以上（调整后比值比=1.87，置信区间：2.24，2.83）以及从研讨会和工作坊获取信息（调整后比值比=0.59，置信区间：0.35，0.98）与对新冠病毒病预防和控制方法的良好实践有关。
结论
超过90%的医护人员有良好的知识；近一半的受访者对新冠病毒病态度不佳且实践较差。研究结果表明，政府和其他利益相关者应实施进一步的策略来改变医护人员的态度，并鼓励他们实践预防和控制方法。
