使用自我管理的验证（Cronbach's alpha=0.077）问卷来评估巴基斯坦医护人员（HCW）对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的知识，态度和实践。结果显示，医护人员对COVID-19有良好的知识（93.2%，N =386），积极的态度[平均值8.43（标准差1.78）]和良好的实践（88.7%，N =367）。医务人员认为，有限的感染控制材料（50.7%，N =210）和知识贫乏的传播（40.6%，N =168）是感染控制的主要障碍。回归分析表明，药剂师更有可能表现出良好的做法比其他医务人员（比值比2.247，95%置信区间1.11 - 4.55，P =0.025）。这项研究发现，在巴基斯坦的HCW有很好的知识，但在知识和实践的具体方面有差距，值得注意。(c)2020年，卫生保健感染协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
A self-administered validated (Cronbach's alpha=0.077) questionnaire was used to assess knowledge, attitude and practice among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Pakistan regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Findings showed that HCWs have good knowledge (93.2%, N =386), a positive attitude [mean 8.43 (standard deviation 1.78)] and good practice (88.7%, N =367) regarding COVID-19. HCWs perceived that limited infection control material (50.7%, N =210) and poor knowledge regarding transmission (40.6%, N =168) were the major barriers to infection control. Regression analysis indicated that pharmacists were more likely to demonstrate good practice than other HCWs (odds ratio 2.247, 95% confidence interval 1.11 - 4.55, P =0.025). This study found that HCWs in Pakistan have good knowledge, but there are gaps in specific aspects of knowledge and practice that warrant attention. (c) 2020 The Healthcare Infection Society.
