چکیده

The present study aimed to determine peoplechr('۳۹')s knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-۱۹ in an Iranian sample. Instruments & Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted on people over ۱۸ years of age in Saveh city, of Iran, in ۲۰۲۰. A multiple-stage sampling method was used. Participants (N=۴۷۱) completed an anonymous and self-report questionnaire assessing socio-demographic variables and KAP. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and independent t-tests by SPSS ۲۱. The significance level was considered to be ≤۰.۰۵. Findings: Of participants, ۷۴.۵% did not have accurate knowledge of how the coronavirus is spread. In terms of attitudes, more than ۶۳.۲% considered COVID-۱۹ to be a dangerous disease. About ۵۹.۶% of participants reported regular use of a mask in the past week. As compared to men, women reported attitudes and practices more aligned with recommended safety standards. Higher education level was significantly related to the mean KAP score (p< ۰.۰۵). Conclusion: Although the sample evidenced appropriate attitudes and some safety practices in general, a significant percentage of individuals did not engage in protective behaviors.کلیدواژه ها
