Abstract

Background: Knowledge of COVID-19 preventive measures, in addition to appropriate practices of such measures, remains a necessity for the prevention of contracting COVID-19 by nurses. This study assessed nurses' knowledge and practice of COVID-19 preventive strategies. It also determined the influence of sociodemographic variables on the knowledge of preventive measures for COVID-19 among nurses.

Materials and methods: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design using multi-stage sampling to recruit 344 nurses.

Results: The results showed that 92% of the nurses had adequate knowledge of COVID-19 preventive measures. The practice of COVID-19 preventive measures among nurses showed that 98.80% had sufficient knowledge of the infection preventive measures. Nurses with Registered Nurse/Registered Midwife (RN/RM-AOR 12.30; CI 4.79-31.63; p = 0.001) and Bachelor of science in nursing (BScN-AOR 37.60; CI 7.644-184.95; p = 0.001) were more knowledgeable about the COVID-19 preventive compared to other nurses with higher degree qualifications.

Conclusions: The nurses in the study had good knowledge of the preventive measures for COVID-19 despite not being trained as frontline staff. It is essential to transform theory into practice by ensuring that the preventive measures they know are implemented to halt the spread of the disease in the face of minimal vaccine coverage.

护士对 COVID-19 预防策略的了解和实践。

背景：了解 COVID-19 的预防措施，并适当实践这些措施，仍然是护士预防感染 COVID-19 的必要条件。本研究评估了护士对 COVID-19 预防策略的了解和实践。研究还确定了社会人口变量对护士COVID-19预防措施知识的影响：研究采用描述性横断面调查设计，使用多阶段抽样法招募了 344 名护士：结果显示，92%的护士对COVID-19预防措施有足够的了解。护士对 COVID-19 预防措施的实践表明，98.80% 的护士对感染预防措施有足够的了解。拥有注册护士/注册助产士（RN/RM-AOR 12.30；CI 4.79-31.63；P = 0.001）和护理学学士学位（BScN-AOR 37.60；CI 7.644-184.95；P = 0.001）的护士与其他拥有更高学历的护士相比，对 COVID-19 预防措施的了解更多：研究中的护士尽管没有接受过一线人员的培训，但对 COVID-19 的预防措施有很好的了解。必须将理论转化为实践，确保她们所了解的预防措施得以实施，从而在疫苗覆盖率极低的情况下阻止疾病的传播。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
