This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the general population to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and COVID-19.
A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2022 and February 2023, involving the general population from Ningbo Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a self-developed questionnaire.
A total of 637 valid questionnaires were collected, with the majority of participants being female (62.48%). The mean score for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 7.60 ± 2.39 (possible range: 0-12), 43.20 ± 4.57 (possible range: 11-55), and 34.57 ± 4.95 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that master's degree or above (OR = 6.04, 95% CI: 1.80-20.31, P = 0.004) and occupation in business or service careers (OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.17-0.48, P < 0.001) were independent associated with knowledge. The knowledge (OR = 1.32, 95%CI: 1.20-1.44, P < 0.001) and female gender (OR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.03-2.14, P = 0.036) were independently associated with positive attitudes. Attitudes (OR = 1.34, 95%CI: 1.26-1.43, P < 0.001) and a monthly household income greater than 20,000 RMB (OR = 0.31, 95%CI: 0.15-0.64, P = 0.001) were independent associated with practices. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that knowledge positively correlated with attitude scores (r = 0.348, P < 0.001) and practice scores (r = 0.259, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice scores were also positively correlated (r = 0.563, P < 0.001). Structural equation modeling showed that knowledge predicted attitudes (β = 0.67, P < 0.001) and practices (β = 0.17, P = 0.017), while attitudes predicted practices (β = 0.58, P < 0.001).
General population had moderate knowledge, positive attitudes and average practices towards CAP and COVID-19.
本研究旨在评估普通人群对社区获得性肺炎(CAP)和 COVID-19 的知识、态度和实践(KAP)。
采用横断面研究方法,于 2022 年 9 月至 2023 年 2 月间,选取宁波市中医院的普通人群,使用自行设计的问卷进行调查。
共收集到 637 份有效问卷,参与者以女性为主(62.48%)。知识、态度和实践的平均得分分别为 7.60±2.39(0-12 分)、43.20±4.57(11-55 分)和 34.57±4.95(10-50 分)。多因素 logistic 回归分析表明,硕士及以上学历(OR=6.04,95%CI:1.80-20.31,P=0.004)和商业或服务业职业(OR=0.28,95%CI:0.17-0.48,P<0.001)与知识独立相关。知识(OR=1.32,95%CI:1.20-1.44,P<0.001)和女性(OR=1.48,95%CI:1.03-2.14,P=0.036)与积极的态度独立相关。态度(OR=1.34,95%CI:1.26-1.43,P<0.001)和家庭月收入大于 20000 元(OR=0.31,95%CI:0.15-0.64,P=0.001)与实践独立相关。Pearson 相关分析显示,知识与态度得分(r=0.348,P<0.001)和实践得分(r=0.259,P<0.001)呈正相关,态度和实践得分也呈正相关(r=0.563,P<0.001)。结构方程模型显示,知识预测态度(β=0.67,P<0.001)和实践(β=0.17,P=0.017),而态度预测实践(β=0.58,P<0.001)。
普通人群对 CAP 和 COVID-19 具有中等水平的知识、积极的态度和一般的实践。
