目的：了解克尔曼沙阿省医务人员对克里米亚-刚果出血热（CCHF）的知识、态度和行为。方法：本研究于2014年通过直接访谈对克尔曼沙阿省不同职业类别的医务人员进行了调查，包括医生、护士、助产士、实验室工作人员和网络卫生工作人员。共有367名受访者谁拥有超过5年的工作经验进行了采访。其中91%的医生和护士，97%的助产士和卫生工作者和96%的实验室工作人员表示，他们迄今为止没有遇到过CCHF患者。在知识方面，76%的医生、78%的护士、77%的助产士和58%的实验室工作人员认为这种疾病是可以治愈的。大多数受访者表示，这种疾病与与家畜密切接触的人有关，但他们不认为自己的职业是风险因素之一。超过70%的受访者认为，该疾病可能存在于该省或其工作领域。一般来说，有关CCHF的知识是不够的，与护士的知识水平最低。结论：知识的克尔曼沙阿医护人员对CCHF是穷人，尤其是护士在高风险的工作类别。因此，有必要对疾病的识别、传播、预防和治疗以及个人防护和安全装置的使用进行专门的培训。
Objective: To determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of healthcare workers in Kermanshah Province about Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF).Methods: This study was conducted in 2014 on healthcare personnel in different job categories including physicians, nurses, midwives, laboratory staff and network health staff of Kermanshah Province by direct interview.Results: A total of 367 respondents who had more than 5 years of experience in their jobs were interviewed. Among them 91% of physicians and nurses, 97% of midwives and health workers and 96% of laboratory staff stated that they had not been confronted with CCHF patients so far. Regarding knowledge, 76% of physicians, 78% of nurses, 77% of midwives and 58% of laboratory staff believed that the disease is remediable. Most of the interviewed participants stated that the disease pertains to people who are in close contact with domestic animals, but they did not consider their own occupations as one of the risk factors. More than 70% of the respondents believed that the disease may exist in the province or their work field. Generally, the knowledge about CCHF was inadequate, with nurses having the lowest level of knowledge.Conclusions: Knowledge of Kermanshah healthcare staff about CCHF was poor, especially nurses in a high risk job category. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct specific training programs for the disease identification, transmission, prevention, and treatment as well as the use of personal protection and safety devices.
