The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge, attitude, and behavior (KAB) of gastrointestinal endoscopy nurses on occupational protection against COVID-19. We analyzed the influencing factors on KAB to provide a reference for the training of nurses on occupational protection in endoscopic centers. A convenience sample of 400 endoscopy nurses from 26 provinces and cities in China was surveyed using a questionnaire to determine their KAB about occupational protection against COVID-19. Job title was an influencing factor of endoscopy nurses' attitude toward occupational protection against COVID-19. The type of hospital, whether nurses had received training on COVID-19, number of training courses received, and nurses' satisfaction with the workload in their endoscopic center were the influencing factors for occupational protective behavior. Study participants had good knowledge of occupational protection against COVID-19. Their overall attitude was positive, but their protective behavior needs further improvement. Feasible interventions to strengthen the occupational protective behavior of endoscopy nurses during the COVID-19 epidemic are suggested to improve the overall occupational protection level of endoscopy nurses.
本研究旨在探讨胃肠镜护士的知识、态度和行为（KAB）对 COVID-19 职业防护的影响。我们分析了 KAB 的影响因素，为内镜中心护士职业防护培训提供参考。采用问卷调查的方法，对我国 26 个省、市的 400 名内镜护士进行调查，了解其 COVID-19 职业防护知识、态度、行为。职称是影响内镜护士 COVID-19 职业防护态度的因素。医院类型、是否接受过 COVID-19 培训、培训课程数、内镜中心工作量满意度是职业防护行为的影响因素。研究对象对 COVID-19 职业防护知识掌握良好，总体态度积极，但防护行为有待进一步提高。建议在 COVID-19 疫情期间采取可行的干预措施，加强内镜护士的职业防护行为，提高内镜护士的整体职业防护水平。
