摘要

社区卫生工作者处于应对大流行的第一线。对预防措施的充分认识、知识和实践对于提高社区的认识和防止感染的传播至关重要。本研究的目的是评估印度卡纳塔克邦Belagavi区四个初级卫生保健中心的卫生保健员对COVID-19感染的认识、知识和做法。对在4个初级保健中心工作的卫生保健员进行了横断面调查。数据收集时间为2020年5月至2020年6月。从意识、知识和练习部分选出12道题,答对者打1分。总分≥8分被认为是满意的。341名参与者(有效率:96%)平均年龄为40.1±8.2岁,女性324名(95.01%)。大多数人至少受过中等教育(84.46%)。主要的信息来源是手机和电视(81.82%)。165人(47.21%)知道COVID-19的传播方式。:卫生保健员的意识、知识和实践是足够的。定期培训计划和行政当局的支持将激励他们继续采取适当的预防措施。

A combined score of ≥ 8 was considered satisfactory.: Among 341 participants (response rate: 96%), mean age was 40.1 ± 8.2 years and 324 (95.01%) were female. Majority had a minimum of secondary education (84.46%).
