对流行病有一定的了解是至关重要的。本研究的目的是评估卫生保健工作者对大流行H1N1流感(PI)的知识、态度和行为反应。2009年9月在土耳其迪亚巴克尔进行了一项横断面研究。所有卫生工作者都回答了一份自我管理的标准化结构化问卷。共调查783人，其中知晓率低者占31.55%，知晓率高者占22.98%。观察到医务人员的性别影响知识水平得分(p=0.005)。26.44%的患者对医院预防知识知晓率较低，24.90%的患者具有较高的医院预防知识水平。医务工作者的职业状况是医院感染预防知识得分较高的显著预测因素(P<；0.001)。因此，这项研究表明，在大流行期间，医院内传播是一个主要问题，卫生工作者对卫生系统的有效工作至关重要。应努力教育卫生工作者提高对当前大流行以及未来大流行的知识、态度和行为反应。关键词：
It is crucial to have a knowledge of pandemia. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and behavioral responses of health care workers (HCWs) toward pandemic H1N1 influenza (PI). A cross-sectional study was performed in September 2009 in Diyarbakir, Turkey. All HCWs replied to a self-administered standardized, structured questionnaire. A total of 783 participated, with 31.55% having low knowledge and 22.98% having high level about PI. It was observed that HCWs sex was affecting knowledge level scores (p = 0.005). 26.44% had low knowledge about nosocomial preventive cautions, with 24.90% having high level of knowledge. The significant predictor for higher knowledge scores about preventive measures for nosocomial transmission was HCWs occupational status (p < 0.001). The study therefore reveals that, nosocomial transmission is a major problem during a pandemic and HCWs will be essential for effective working of the health system. Efforts should be targeted at educating HCWs to improve knowledge, attitude and behavioral responses in the current pandemia, as well as for future epidemics. Key words:
