In Burkina Faso, the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in March 2020. Health personnel are on the front line of COVID-19 control, and it is important to understand their perceptions and knowledge of the disease. The objective was to determine the knowledge and perceptions of healthcare personnel of COVID-19 in the city of Ouagadougou.
The study was conducted in five plots in the city of Ouagadougou. A total of 20 health workers from public and private health centers in the city of Ouagadougou were selected during May 2020. In-depth individual interviews were conducted, and a thematic analysis was performed using NVIVO.
The routes of transmission identified were promiscuity, respiratory tract, and physical contact. Various symptoms have been noted, such as fever, cough, and runny nose. However, they recognize that these symptoms are not sufficient to make a diagnosis of COVID-19. Similarly, the treatments mentioned are modern medicine and phytomedicine.
The research has generated information on healthcare workers' knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19. Therefore, they are useful for decision-making regarding protective measures for health workers in the management of COVID-19.
在布基纳法索，2020年3月报告了首批新冠病毒病病例。卫生人员处于新冠病毒病防控的第一线，了解他们对该疾病的认知和知识很重要。目的是确定瓦加杜古市医护人员对新冠病毒病的知识和认知情况。
该研究在瓦加杜古市的五个区域开展。2020年5月，从瓦加杜古市公立和私立卫生中心共选取了20名卫生工作者。进行了深入的个人访谈，并使用NVIVO软件进行了主题分析。
确定的传播途径有滥交、呼吸道传播和身体接触。已注意到各种症状，如发热、咳嗽和流鼻涕。然而，他们认识到这些症状不足以确诊新冠病毒病。同样，提到的治疗方法有现代医学和植物医学。
该研究产生了关于医护人员对新冠病毒病的知识和认知的信息。因此，它们有助于在新冠病毒病管理中就卫生工作者的防护措施做出决策。
