Abstract:

Objective To understand the current situation of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of Healthcare workers (HCWs) in public hospitals on the prevention & protection from COVID-19, to explore the methods to improve comprehensive public health quality of HCWs on the basis of the existing staffing, and to improve the overall public health emergency response capacities of hospitals. Methods Totally 158 HCWs from three public hospitals in Shijiazhuang were selected as the research subjects. The KAP situation of HCWs on the prevention & protection from COVID-19 were investigated by questionnaires. The factors impacting KAP related to the prevention & protection from COVID-19 were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Results In these HCWs, the means of KAP on practice for prevention & protection from COVID-19 were (28.64±7.91), (16.92±1.76) and (16.81±1.79), respectively. One-way ANOVA showed that the knowledge scores of nursing professionals were higher than those of clinical professionals, the scores of public health-related departments and clinical departments were higher than those of other departments, and the scores of public health professionals were higher than those of nursing and clinical professionals, practice scores of workers from clinical departments were significantly higher than those of workers in other departments, and the scores of other professional title series were significantly lower than those of doctors, nurses and technologists. Conclusion In HCWs, the level of KAP on prevention & protection from COVID-19 is imperative to be improved. It is an effective way to improve the overall level of the hospitals through strengthening relevant trainings and tightening supervision.
