The education and training of healthcare workers (HCWs) about pandemic response plans, infection control protocols (ICP), and precautions are critical for breaking the virus transmission chain. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of HCWs regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response plan and the ICP. Concomitantly, evaluating the effectiveness and impact of institutional measures, policies, and training programs.
A cross-sectional study using an electronic questionnaire was used to collect data from 267 HCWs at a University-affiliated-hospital during April 2020.
In this study, 90.7% of participants were nurses and 66% were females. 60.3% of participants received specific training about caring for COVID-19 patients while at least 94.3% reviewed the pandemic response plan and ICP for COVID-19. 47.5% and 29.2% of participants provided direct care for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients, respectively. Between 85.7% and 100% of the participants answered all items correctly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response plan, measures, and precautions. Furthermore, the correct answers were above 95% for each item.
HCWs have a high level of knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic response plan and ICP. Training and disseminating updated plans and protocols in different methods such as an intranet and onsite training in addition to regular methods were very effective.

采用横断面研究,通过电子问卷于2020年4月从一家大学附属医院的267名医护人员中收集数据。
本研究中,90.7%的参与者为护士,66%为女性。60.3%的参与者接受过关于护理新冠患者的特定培训,而至少94.3%的参与者查看过新冠疫情应对计划和ICP。47.5%和29.2%的参与者分别为疑似或确诊新冠患者提供过直接护理。85.7%至100%的参与者在新冠疫情应对计划、措施及预防措施的所有项目上回答正确。此外,每个项目的正确答案率均超过95%。
医护人员对新冠疫情应对计划和ICP有较高的了解水平。除常规方式外,通过内联网和现场培训等不同方法培训并传播最新计划和协议非常有效。
