背景：2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 于 2019 年 12 月出现，是有史以来最严重的流行病之一。在早期阶段，人们对与冠状病毒疾病相关的公众知识、态度和实践（KAP）知之甚少。本研究旨在确定伊朗人对 COVID-19 的 KAP。方法：2 月 25 日至 4 月 25 日在伊朗进行了一项横断面在线调查，使用自填式问卷对 1,480 人进行了调查。与 COVID-19 相关的 KAP 问题改编自其他经国际验证的专门针对传染病的问卷。结果：所有参与者都了解 COVID-19。当主动询问时，80% 的受访者可以正确地将发烧、呼吸困难和咳嗽视为 COVID-19 的体征/症状。我们的大多数样本人群都知道，呆在家里并隔离 (95.3%) 以及经常洗手和使用消毒剂 (92.5%) 可以预防 COVID-19。然而，也存在广泛的误解，例如认为 COVID-19 可以通过野生动物（58%）和空气（48.3%）传播。为避免感染 COVID-19 而自发采取的自我报告措施包括用肥皂和水洗手 (95.4%)、避免去拥挤的地方 (93%)、用其他消毒剂清洁双手 (80.) 以及咳嗽或打喷嚏时遮住口鼻 (76.1%)。互联网和社交媒体（94.5%）是主要的冠状病毒信息来源。然而，关于冠状病毒最值得信赖的信息来源是健康和医疗专业人员（79.3%）。大多数参与者 (77.0%) 希望获得有关冠状病毒的更多信息。结论：我们的研究结果表明，人们在 COVID-19 爆发时对它的了解和态度都处于较高水平。
Background: Emerged in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the largest pandemics ever. During the early phase, little was known about public knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) relating to coronavirus disease. This study was designed to determine KAP of Iranians toward COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out in Iran from February 25 to April 25 using a self-administered questionnaire on 1,480 people. COVID-19-related KAP questions were adapted from other internationally validated questionnaires specific for infectious diseases. Results: All participants were aware of COVID-19. When asked unprompted, 80% of respondents could correctly cite fever, difficulty in breathing, and cough as signs/symptoms of COVID-19. Most of our sample population knew that staying at home and isolated (95.3%) as well as constant handwashing and using disinfectants (92.5%) could prevent COVID-19. However, there were also widespread misconceptions such as the belief that COVID-19 can be transmitted by wild animals (58%) and by air (48.3%). Unprompted, self-reported actions taken to avoid COVID-19 infection included handwashing with soap and water (95.4%), avoiding crowded places (93%), cleansing hands with other disinfectants (80.), and covering mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing (76.1%). The Internet and social media (94.5%) were the main coronavirus information sources. However, the most trusted information sources on coronavirus were health and medical professionals (79.3%). The majority of participants (77.0%) wanted more information about coronavirus to be available. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that people's knowledge and attitude toward COVID-19 at the time of its outbreak was at a high level.
