Introduction: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that appear to be capable of causing diseases ranging from a simple cold to more severe illnesses, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The best way to combat this virus is through prevention. This study aims to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the people of Lorestan province regarding personal and environmental hygiene to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional applied study was conducted between 2019 and 2020 in Poldokhtar County, examining a population aged 15 and older. An online questionnaire, developed by the project executors, consisting of 34 questions, was used to collect data. The questionnaire comprised four sections: the first focused on demographic information, the second assessed knowledge, the third evaluated attitudes, and the fourth addressed the community's performance regarding adherence to personal and environmental hygiene to combat the COVID-19 virus. Finally, the gathered data were analyzed using SPSS software version 19. The T-test was applied for analyzing binary variables, while a one-way ANOVA was used for examining three or more categorical variables. A P-value of less than 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
Results: The majority of participants in the study were from urban areas (83.6%), female (60%), and married (59%). The study results showed that 65.45%, 60.76%, and 84.45% of the participants had adequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and appropriate performance regarding COVID-19, respectively. Additionally, the results indicated a significant correlation between learning and performance, as well as between attitude and performance.
Conclusion: This research determined that the individuals studied possess sufficient knowledge, a positive attitude, and an appropriate level of performance for preventing COVID-19. However, their understanding of preventive measures, such as wearing masks, maintaining social distance, and using disinfectants correctly, was lacking. Therefore, extensive education is necessary to enhance people's understanding of the COVID-19 virus and to encourage them to adopt preventive behaviors. Despite the spread of misinformation, misconceptions, and inappropriate methods in society, the findings of this study, along with similar studies, indicate that the general public adheres to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education for the prevention and control of this virus.
