چکیده
Background: The present study was performed to investigate the level of knowledge, attitude, and performance of healthcare personnel working in COVID-19 hospitals in Mashhad regarding the use of respiratory protection equipment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 536 personnel working in hospitals admitting COVID-19 patients in Mashhad, Iran. The participants completed a questionnaire containing data related to the knowledge, attitude, and performance of healthcare workers regarding the use of respiratory protection equipment.
Results: According to the results, the evaluated knowledge levels were weak (1.1%), moderate (32.7%), and good (66.2%). Moreover, the levels of attitude were moderate (7.9%) and good (92.1%). In addition, the performance showed moderate (3.6%) and good (96.4%) levels. The mean score of knowledge was significantly higher among employees over 35 years of age (P<0.001), employees with 10 years or more work experience (P<0.001), and among males, compared to females (P<0.001). The mean score of performance was also significantly higher in males than in female employees (P<0.001), in married, compared to single employees (P<0.001), and among individuals who had close contact with a COVID-19 patient (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, there was an acceptable level of knowledge, attitude, and performance among healthcare personnel working in the COVID-19 hospitals of Mashhad regarding the use of respiratory protection equipment. However, more training in this field seems useful, especially for people with less experience and age.
