简介：沙特阿拉伯受到中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)暴发的影响。方法：通过问卷调查了解护士对MERS冠状病毒感染风险的认知。结果：调查对象以女性为主(332人，占86.0%)，男性54人(占14.0%)。在386名受访者中，护士占大多数(293人；75.9%)，医生34人(8.8%)。在重症监护病房(ICU)工作的人暴露在空气中的百分比更高(89；23%)。在隔离区、ICU和急诊室工作的参与者之间感染MERS冠状病毒的担忧和恐惧程度(平均值：3.01%+/-1.1%)与在较不可能接纳和感染MERS-CoV疑似或阳性病例的地区工作的参与者之间存在显著差异(平均值：2.77%+/-1.1%；p=0.031)。女性比男性更担心和害怕感染病毒(平均值分别为2.92+/-1.1vs2.61+/-1.0；p=0.045)。在可能承认MERS-CoV疑似病例或阳性病例的地区工作的参与者之间，感染MERS-CoV感染的担忧和恐惧程度存在差异。活动结束后，参与者的信心水平更高，对感染控制预防措施的坚守程度也更高。
Introduction: Saudi Arabia was affected by an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). We aimed to determine the perception of risk and level of stress among nurses.Methodology: A questionnaire survey was administered to determine the perceptions of risk of MERS-CoV infection.Results: The majority of the participants were females (332; 86.0%), and there were 54 (14.0%) males. Of the 386 respondents, nurses constituted the majority of the respondents (293; 75.9%), and there were 34 doctors (8.8%). The percentage of exposure was found to be greater in those who were working in the intensive care unit (ICU) (89; 23%). There was a significant difference in the worry and fear scale of contracting the MERS-CoV infection between participants who worked in isolation areas, ICUs, and emergency rooms (mean: 3.01 +/- 1.1) compared to participants who worked in areas that are less likely to admit and have MERS-CoV suspected or positive cases (mean: 2.77 +/- 1.1; p = 0.031. Females were significantly more worried and fearful of contracting the virus compared to males (mean: 2.92 +/- 1.1 versus 2.61 +/- 1.0, respectively; p = 0.045).Conclusions: MERS-CoV caused a relatively significant level of distress among nurses. There was a difference in the worry and fear scale of contracting the MERS-CoV infection between participants who worked in areas likely to admit and have MERS-CoV suspected or positive cases. After the campaign, the level of confidence got higher and the participants were more adherent to the infection control precautions.
