BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new situations that require the effective delivery of health information across the world and it's important to offer clear, consistent, and credible information on the pandemic to mitigate and control the outbreak.
AIM
To assess COVID-19 information source, need and trust among the rural community of southwest Ethiopia.
METHODS
A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 634 rural communities of southwest Ethiopia. The data were collected by interviewing individuals from selected households and analyzed by SPSS version 26. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess factors affecting information needs.
RESULTS
Radio 484 (76.3%) was mostly used as a source of information for COVID-19, and government 404 (63.7%) and health professionals 345 (57.7%) were trusted. However, only 10 (1.6%) of the participants acquired information from health professionals. Around 395 (62.3%) of the participants needed additional information on COVID-19. Around 230 (58.2%) and 186 (47.1%) of the participants required additional information on cause and sign and symptoms, respectively. Age of < 45 years old (AOR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.43, 3.12, P < 0.001), and absence of formal education (AOR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.35, 2.95, P: 0.001) were factors positively affecting the information needs of the participants on COVID-19. Church goers (AOR: 3.24; 95% CI: 2.03, 5.19; P < 0.001), television (AOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.63, 3.49; P < 0.001) and social media users (AOR: 4.52; 95% CI: 2.26, 9.04; P < 0.001) as source of information required additional information on COVID-19, and the participants that trusted social media (AOR: 2.52; 95% CI: 1.64, 3.87; P < 0.001) and friends/relatives (AOR: 2.95: 95% CI: 1.51, 5.76; P < 0.001) were also required additional information on COVID-19.
CONCLUSIONS
The popular sources of COVID-19-related information were radio and television. The participants trusted the government and health professionals on COVID-19. However, less than 2% of the participants had information from health professionals. The majority of the participants wanted to learn more about COVID-19. The areas the participants required additional information include cause and signs and symptoms. Age, educational status, trust in social media, trust in friends, using the church, television and social media as a source were factors associated with information needs.
背景
新冠疫情带来了新情况，需要在全球有效传播健康信息，提供关于该疫情清晰、一致且可信的信息对于减轻和控制疫情爆发很重要。
目的
评估埃塞俄比亚西南部农村社区中新冠信息的来源、需求及信任情况。
方法
在埃塞俄比亚西南部的634个农村社区开展了一项基于社区的横断面研究。通过对选定家庭中的个体进行访谈收集数据，并使用SPSS 26版进行分析。采用多变量逻辑回归模型评估影响信息需求的因素。
结果
广播（484人，占76.3%）是最常被用作新冠信息来源的途径，政府（404人，占63.7%）和卫生专业人员（345人，占57.7%）受到信任。然而，只有10名（1.6%）参与者从卫生专业人员处获取信息。约395名（62.3%）参与者需要更多关于新冠的信息。分别约有230名（58.2%）和186名（47.1%）参与者需要更多关于病因以及体征和症状方面的信息。年龄小于45岁（比值比：2.11，95%置信区间：1.43，3.12，P<0.001）以及未接受正规教育（比值比：2.00，95%置信区间：1.35，2.95，P：=0.001）是对参与者新冠信息需求产生积极影响的因素。常去教堂的人（比值比：3.24；95%置信区间：2.03，5.19；P<0.001）、电视（比值比：2.39；95%置信区间：1.63，3.49；P<0.001）以及社交媒体使用者（比值比：4.52；95%置信区间：2.26，9.04；P<0.001）作为信息来源需要更多关于新冠的信息；信任社交媒体（比值比：2.52；95%置信区间：1.64，3.87；P<0.001）以及朋友/亲戚（比值比：2.95：95%置信区间：1.51，5.76；P<0.001）的参与者也需要更多关于新冠的信息。
结论
与新冠相关信息的流行来源是广播和电视。参与者信任政府和卫生专业人员关于新冠的信息。然而，不到2%的参与者从卫生专业人员处获得信息。大多数参与者希望更多地了解新冠。参与者需要更多信息的领域包括病因以及体征和症状。年龄、教育状况、对社交媒体的信任、对朋友的信任、将教堂、电视和社交媒体作为信息来源是与信息需求相关的因素。
