OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to assess the level of knowledge of Algerian healthcare workers about human monkeypox, and their attitude toward its vaccination. METHODS: An online-based cross-sectional study using social media platforms targeting Algerian healthcare workers was conducted between 28 June and 18 September 2022. RESULTS: 111 healthcare workers have answered the questionnaire. Overall, a medium level of knowledge (64.9%) was obtained with multiple gaps about the epidemiology and clinical features of this disease. Factors associated with high levels of knowledge included young age, being married and practicing outside the province town. Also, only 38.7% of the respondents were in favor of human monkeypox vaccination if recommended for free with COVID-19 vaccine uptake as a determinant factor of acceptance. CONCLUSION: Results have shown a medium level of knowledge and a low rate of vaccination willingness. The findings of this study although not representative of all Algerian healthcare workers, could be a baseline for human monkeypox knowledge and vaccination in Algeria.
目的：开展本研究以评估阿尔及利亚医护人员对猴痘的了解程度及其对猴痘疫苗接种的态度。 方法：2022年6月28日至9月18日期间，利用社交媒体平台对阿尔及利亚医护人员进行了一项基于网络的横断面研究。 结果：111名医护人员回答了问卷。总体而言，获得了中等水平的知识（64.9%），但在该疾病的流行病学和临床特征方面存在多个空白。与高水平知识相关的因素包括年轻、已婚以及在省城以外地区工作。此外，只有38.7%的受访者表示，如果猴痘疫苗免费接种且以新冠疫苗接种情况作为接受度的决定因素，他们会赞成接种。 结论：结果显示知识水平中等，接种意愿率较低。本研究的结果虽然不能代表所有阿尔及利亚医护人员，但可为阿尔及利亚猴痘知识和疫苗接种提供一个基线。
