背景资料：在公共卫生危机中，对疾病传播模式、基本卫生概念和程序的了解和认识对于制定有效的控制措施至关重要。这项研究的目的是评估孟加拉国人口对COVID-19的知识、态度和实践（KAP）。研究方法：这项横断面研究在孟加拉国15岁以上的普通人群中进行，询问了一系列关于人口对COVID-19的KAP的问题，并记录和分析了参与者的人口统计学特征和COVID-19的信息来源。结果如下：尽管大多数受访者（超过60%）对COVID-19持积极态度，但在孟加拉国，70%的受访者对COVID-19的了解和预防措施不足。后一个发现是有希望的，并提出了一个潜在的治疗策略。男性和受教育程度较低的受访者报告了COVID-19预防方法不足，以及对体征和症状以及传播缺乏了解。调查结果显示，在一定性别、年龄和教育水平的妇女中，知识、态度和做法之间存在着实质性联系。根据多元线性回归分析，男性、非医疗保健相关工作、单身状态和较低的受教育程度都与知识得分较低有很大的相关性。结论：目前的研究显示，研究人群对COVID-19的态度很高，但对知识和预防措施的反应较差，这可以通过宣传活动和适当的规划来提高。
Background: In a public health crisis, knowledge and understanding of disease transmission modes, fundamental hygiene concepts, and procedures are critical for designing effective control measures. The purpose of this research was to assess the Bangladeshi population's Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) towards COVID-19. Methods: A series of questions about the KAP of the population about COVID-19 were asked in this cross-sectional study, which was conducted among the general population of Bangladesh over the age of 15, and participants' demographic characteristics and source of information about COVID-19 were recorded and analyzed. Results: Despite the fact that the majority of respondents (more than 60%) had a positive attitude about COVID-19, 70% of those questioned in Bangladesh had insufficient understanding and preventative actions. This latter discovery is promising and suggests a potential therapeutic strategy. Male and less educated respondents reported inadequate COVID-19 preventive methods, as well as a lack of understanding about signs and symptoms and transmission. The findings revealed a substantial link between knowledge, attitude, and practice among women of a certain gender, age, and education level. Male gender, non-healthcare-related jobs, single status, and a lesser degree of schooling were all substantially correlated with poorer knowledge scores, according to multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion: The present study revealed a high attitude among the study population towards COVID-19 but a poor response on knowledge and preventive practices, which can be enhanced by awareness campaigns and proper planning.
