Abstract

The COVID19 pandemic has been transmitted worldwide rapidly. The best ways of preventing this virus are to know about and act accordingly. An online cross sectional survey was conducted to know the knowledge, attitude and practices towards COVID19 and to assess the risks of infections among Bangladeshi population. Among 2045 respondents, 54·87% respondents kept good knowledge. Knowledge was significantly diverged across age, gender, education levels, residences, income groups, and marital status. Despite the knowledge, the attitude and practices of Bangladeshi people are not impressive. Among population, 32·08%, and 44·30% people were in high, and in medium risk of infection respectively. Everybody is in risk. Reasons for the mediocre attitude and practices could be the poor knowledge, nonscientific and orthodox religious believe. Government and policy makers must consider these knowledge levels, attitude & practices and the risk of infection assessment to implement productive interventions for preventing the COVID19.

孟加拉国人口对COVID-19的知识、态度和做法(KAP)以及SARS-CoV-2感染风险评估:一项在线横断面调查

2019冠状病毒病大流行在全球范围内迅速传播。预防这种病毒的最佳方法是了解并采取相应的行动。开展了一项在线横断面调查，以了解孟加拉国人口对covid - 19的知识、态度和做法，并评估其感染风险。在2045名受访者中，54.87%的受访者保持良好的知识。知识在年龄、性别、教育程度、居住地、收入群体和婚姻状况之间存在显著差异。尽管知道这些，但孟加拉国人的态度和做法并不令人印象深刻。高危人群占32.08%，中危人群占44.30%。每个人都有风险。这种平庸的态度和行为的原因可能是知识贫乏，不科学和正统的宗教信仰。政府和决策者必须考虑这些知识水平、态度和做法以及感染风险评估，以实施有效的干预措施，预防covid - 19。
