BACKGROUND
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies continue to investigate the KAP of COVID-19 among diverse groups. We examined the KAP of COVID-19 among deaf persons living in the Ayawaso North Municipality in Accra.
METHODS
A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. Our sample comprised deaf persons registered with the Municipal Directorate. In all, 144 deaf persons were interviewed using an adapted KAP COVID-19 questionnaire.
RESULTS
Regarding knowledge, majority of the deaf persons (> 50%) were not in the know of 8 out of 12 items of the knowledge subscale. For attitude, deaf persons (> 50%) showed optimistic attitude in all 6 items of the attitude subscale. Deaf persons "always" practised 5 items and "sometimes" practised 4 items in the preventive practices to COVID-19. A positive moderate and significant correlation existed between the subscales. Regression analysis showed that, a one-unit increase in knowledge will result in a 1.033-unit increase in preventive practices while a one-unit increase in knowledge will result in a 0.587-unit increase in attitude.
CONCLUSIONS
Campaigns about COVID-19 should emphasize the teaching of the science of the virus and the disease and not just the preventive practices, paying special attention to deaf persons.
背景
自 COVID-19 大流行以来，研究人员继续针对不同群体对 COVID-19 的 KAP（知识、态度、实践）进行调查。我们研究了加纳阿克拉阿尧索诺北市聋人对 COVID-19 的 KAP。
方法
本研究采用描述性横断面设计。我们的样本包括在市主任办公室注册的聋人。共有 144 名聋人接受了改编后的 KAP COVID-19 问卷采访。
结果
在知识方面，大多数聋人（>50%）对知识子量表的 12 个项目中的 8 个一无所知。在态度方面，聋人（>50%）在态度子量表的所有 6 个项目中表现出乐观态度。聋人在预防 COVID-19 的措施中“总是”实践 5 项，“有时”实践 4 项。子量表之间存在正中度显著相关性。回归分析表明，知识每增加一个单位，预防实践就会增加 1.033 个单位，而知识每增加一个单位，态度就会增加 0.587 个单位。
结论
关于 COVID-19 的宣传活动应该强调病毒和疾病的科学知识的教学，而不仅仅是预防措施，特别要关注聋人。
