Abstract

Background: Disaster is an acute dysfunction of the existing environment that requires external assistance. Although disaster has had a significant impact in Ethiopia, little is known about KAP of frontline HCW on disaster management in private hospitals. Therefore, this study will be a background for future researches and disaster management plan in private health sectors. The study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitudes, practices and their influencing factors among frontline healthcare workers on disaster risk management in private general hospitals in Addis Ababa. Methods: The study design was multicenter cross-sectional survey that used structured closed- and open-ended questions. Multi-stage sampling technique was used. The sample size was 270 with a response rate of 98.9%. The study was conducted in frontline HCW of six private general hospitals from July 20-September 30, 2022. Epi-info version 7.0 and SPSS-25 were used for data clearing and statistical analysis. Level of KAP was calculated from the participants’ scores of the questions. Associations were done by using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Of the participants, 64% had poor level of knowledge, and 89.10% had poor level of practice while 93.6% had positive attitude. Lack of previous training, inadequate level of practice, and health experience below one year were negatively associated with good level of knowledge. Poor level of knowledge was negatively associated with good practice. Conclusion: Although the majority of the participants had positive attitude, the mean level of knowledge and practice were poor to properly handle disastrous events.

埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴私立综合医院一线医护人员灾害风险管理的知识、态度和实践:多中心横断面研究
背景:灾害是现有环境的严重失调,需要外部援助。尽管灾害对埃塞俄比亚产生了重大影响,但人们对一线医护人员对私立医院灾害管理的了解甚少。因此,本研究将为未来私营卫生部门的研究和灾害管理计划提供背景。本研究旨在评估亚的斯亚贝巴私立综合医院一线医护人员灾害风险管理的知识、态度、做法及其影响因素。 方法:研究设计为多中心横断面调查,采用结构化的封闭式和开放式问题。采用多级采样技术。样本量为270人,回复率为98.9%。该研究于2022年7月20日至9月30日在六家私立综合医院的一线HCW进行。使用Epi-info version 7.0和SPSS-25进行数据清理和统计分析。KAP水平是根据参与者的问题得分来计算的。使用双变量和多变量逻辑回归进行关联分析。 结果:参与者中,64%的人知识水平较差,89.10%的人实践水平较差,93.6%的人态度积极。缺乏先前的培训、实践水平不足以及一年以下的卫生经验与良好的知识水平呈负相关。知识水平低与良好行为呈负相关。 结论:虽然大多数参与者的态度积极,但平均知识水平和实践水平较差,无法正确处理灾难性事件。
