BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Investigating the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among healthcare workers (HCWs) could be an early step toward identifying their potential educational needs and possible factors involved in misinformation. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about COVID-19 among healthcare workers in Iran during the first wave of the pandemic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The current descriptive-correlational study was conducted during the 1st days of the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran from March 24th to April 3rd, 2020. Participants included all healthcare workers at hospitals, including physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, laboratory and radiology assistants, and other hospital professionals during the study period. Data were collected through an online self-administrative questionnaire.
RESULTS
The responses of 1,310 participants were analyzed, of which 900 (68.7%) were female. The mean (SD) knowledge score was 25.4 (3.3), 84.7% out of 30. More than 90% of participants correctly recognized the main symptoms, transmission route, and preventive measures for COVID-19. The mean (SD) attitude score was 16.9 (1.1), 93.9% out of 18. Most participants agreed with keeping safe physical distancing, self-isolation upon symptom onset, and city lockdowns. The mean (SD) score for general practices about COVID-19 was 20.8 (2.0), 86.7% of 24.
CONCLUSION
The knowledge and practice of HCWs were appropriate, and their attitudes were mainly positive. However, there is still room for improvement regarding concerning misinformation and quackeries about COVID-19.
背景与目的
调查医护人员（HCWs）对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的知识、态度和实践情况，可能是识别他们潜在教育需求和可能涉及错误信息的因素的早期步骤。本研究的目的是调查伊朗 COVID-19 大流行第一波期间医护人员对 COVID-19 的知识、态度和实践情况。
材料与方法
本描述性相关性研究于 2020 年 3 月 24 日至 4 月 3 日 COVID-19 疫情在伊朗的初期进行。参与者包括医院内的所有医护人员，包括在研究期间的医生、牙医、药剂师、护士、助产士、实验室和放射科助理以及其他医院专业人员。数据通过在线自我管理问卷收集。
结果
分析了 1310 名参与者的回复，其中 900 名（68.7%）为女性。知识得分的平均值（标准差）为 25.4（3.3），满分 30 分中有 84.7%。超过 90%的参与者正确识别了 COVID-19 的主要症状、传播途径和预防措施。态度得分的平均值（标准差）为 16.9（1.1），满分 18 分中有 93.9%。大多数参与者同意保持安全的身体距离、出现症状时自我隔离和城市封锁。COVID-19 一般实践得分的平均值（标准差）为 20.8（2.0），满分 24 分中有 86.7%。
结论
HCWs 的知识和实践水平适当，态度主要为积极。然而，关于 COVID-19 的错误信息和庸医问题仍有改进空间。
