The difference may be due to difference in COVID-19-related information access, risk perception and enforcement of COVID-19related measures in nations.…”

PurposeIn Ethiopia, more than 26 million students have been out of the classroom for nearly 9 months. On 18 September, the Ethiopian Minister of Health advised the Parliament the possibility of reopening schools provided certain conditions were met. Schools are currently reopening in the country for the first time since March 2020.ObjectiveThis study assessed the knowledge and preventive health behaviours toward COVID-19 and associated factors among secondary school students.Design, setting, participants and outcome measuresAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2020 in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia. A total of 370 secondary school students were included. Bivariable and multivariable ordinal logistic regression model were fitted to identify the predictors of knowledge about COVID-19. Simple and multiple linear regression analysis were done to identify factors associated with preventive behaviour. A p<0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.ResultsOnly one-fourth (23.5%, 95% CI 19.5% to 28.1%) of the participants had a good knowledge about COVID-19. The mean score of preventive behaviour was 22.8±SD 6.2. Marital status, religion, father education, living arrangement and sources of information were significantly associated with knowledge about COVID-19. Being female and using health professionals as source of information increased the engagement in preventive behaviours. On the other hand, student whose father employed in non-governmental organisation and other jobs had decreased engagement in preventive health behaviours.ConclusionSignificant number of the students had inadequate knowledge about COVID-19 and poorly engaged in COVID-19 preventive behaviour. Thus, it is suggested to include and disseminate about COVID-19 in related academic sessions, using school clubs and minimedias. The sources of COVID-19-related information need to strengthen the dissemination of tailored, credible and timely message to enhance the knowledge and engagement of the students in preventive behaviours.

“…These results supported with the study conducted by Elgzar et al, 6 who reported that post intervention, significant differences (p< 0.05) were observed between control and intervention groups in their awareness and all health belief model constructs regarding COVID19. Also, cohort with the study by Ayed et al, 3 who stated significant difference between secondary students' knowledge practice and attitudes, pre and post educational program intervention and consistent with the study performed by Semerci et al, 23 who presented that less than half of the nurses received education for COVID-19 and regular with Amer & Mohamed, 2 who reported that there were statistically significant differences in total mean score of knowledge pre and post nursing instructions. Also, agreement with the study done by Saqlain et al, 21 who reported that health care workers had poor knowledge regarding transmission of COVID19 (40.6%, N=168) and need educational program.…”

Nurses as the first member at health team must improve their performance about COVID-19 Research Aim: to assess impact of educational program on nurses' knowledge, practice and attitude related prevention measures of COVID 19 Methodology: A Quasi-experimental research design was utilized from July 2020-November 2020 conducted at Shebin El Koum teaching Hospital and Menofia University Hospital for 50 nurses. A self-administered questionnaire containing four parts (characteristics, knowledge part, Attitude Rating Scale and nurses' practice) Results: The present study showed mean age of studied nurses was 34.80±4.99 years and 52% of them providing care for COVID-19 patients. 70% of them had poor knowledge at pre intervention, while76% of them had good knowledge at post intervention and only 6% had poor knowledge. Mean score of studied nurses related total attitude at pre intervention was 13.70±3.45, while at post intervention was 25.18±3.66. Total practice, showed that 36% of nurses had competent practice while 90% of them had competent practice at post intervention with p value <0.01 Conclusions: To conclude, the present study reported that educational training program had positive effect on nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice so hypothesis was accepted.

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant challenges to Ghana’s education system, leading to the closure of schools for months. On 31 May 2020, the government of Ghana took a bold decision based on expert advice to reopen schools for final-year students amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, data for students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19 are limited. We sought to investigate students’ level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19 at Tamale Technical Institute, Ghana. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 175 final-year students from June to August 2020. A validated questionnaire adapted from previous studies was distributed to the students in their various classes by the researchers. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and multivariate logistic regression. All analyses were significant at a p value of less than 0.05. Results. The mean age of the study participants was 21.1 years (SD = 2.67), with more males (72.0%) than females participating in the study. The majority (69.7%) of the students trust traditional media sources, i.e., television and radio to receive COVID-19-related information. Awareness about COVID-19 was high (98.3%), and in total, 62.9% (n = 110) had good knowledge, 58.3% (n = 102) had positive attitudes, and 54.9% (n = 96) had good practices towards COVID-19. Factors associated with knowledge were receiving education on COVID-19 (AOR = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.55) and mother level of education (AOR = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.66). Positive attitudes towards COVID-19 were 63% less likely among students who did not receive education on COVID-19 (AOR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.90). Students who received education on COVID-19 exhibited good practice towards COVID-19 than students who did not receive education on COVID-19 (p = 0.014). Conclusion. Final-year students of Tamale Technical Institute possess good knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19. Our findings demonstrate the significant role of health education in improving students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19. We recommend continuous and targeted health education to mitigate the widespread misconceptions about COVID-19 through the use of traditional media such as television and radio.
