“…Our study also revealed that like attitude, fear has also a positive impact on preventive practice, indicating the more fear, the more preventive practice. A similar outcome was reported by (27,31). Ostensibly, this outcome could seem controversial but it represents the significant influence of fear on changing someone’s behavior or attitude towards preventive practice.…”

In the earlier phase of the pandemic situation, the governments of Bangladesh badly suffered to adhere their people to preventive measures probably due to less knowledge and attitude towards covid-19. To tackle the second wave of coronavirus, the governments again enforced an array of preventive measures, but still encountering the same problem after a year of the pandemic situation. In an attempt to find out the reasons behind this, our study aimed to assess the present knowledge, attitude, practice, and fear level of the people. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 15th to 25th April 2021. A total of 402 participants met all the inclusion criteria and were considered for performing all statistical analyses (Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Multiple logistic regression, Spearman rank-order correlation). Out of 402 participants, more than 90% participants were students and all were adults aged 16 to 30. 84.6%, 65.7%, 54%, and 21.6% participants had more adequate knowledge, more positive attitude, more frequent practice, and moderate to high fear towards covid-19, respectively. Knowledge, attitude, practice, and fear were interrelated directly or indirectly. It was found knowledgeable participants were more likely to have more positive attitude (OR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.14-3.95, P < 0.05) and very less fear (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.02-3.82, P < 0.05). More positive attitude was found as a good predictor of more frequent practice (OR = 4.33, 95% CI = 2.66-7.04, P < 0.001), and very less fear had same negative impact on both attitude (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.25-0.91, P < 0.05) and practice (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.27-0.85, P < 0.05). Our findings reflect that knowledge level has elevated but attitude level subsided, and practice level stayed same as was in the earlier phase of pandemic and people are no longer panicked.

“…La réduction des interventions essentielles en matière de santé maternelle durant la période de la pandémie a été observée dans beaucoup de pays [ 8 , 9 ]. Si la femme enceinte est permanemment en questionnement sur l´issue de la grossesse et le bien-être de son enfant, la pandémie a infligé un stress de plus avec un état d´anxiété et de dépression à celui préexistant [ 10 ].…”

Le défi que pose la pandémie de la COVID-19 sur le système de santé en Afrique est énorme mais pas bien quantifié en ce jour. Nous avons évalué les conséquences de la COVID-19 sur les activités curatives et préventives des formations sanitaires sur une période de six mois au niveau de 17 centres de sante intégré au Niamey de manière en comparant la première moitié de l´année 2020 à celle de l´année 2019. Les différences furent plus prononcées au deuxième trimestre 2020, avec une réduction de 34% (95%IC: -47% à -21%) pour les soins curatifs, 61% (95%IC: -74% à -48%) pour la vaccination aux pentavalents 1 et 3 et de 36% (95%IC: -49% à -23%) pour la VAR 1. Un gain quasi nul de 1% (95%IC: -2% à 4%) fut noté pour la fréquentation à la consultation prénatale annulant ainsi les acquis du premier trimestre. La pandémie de la COVID-19 impacte négativement sur les prestations de service destinées aux groupes les plus à risques de la population à savoir les femmes et les enfants. Des nouvelles stratégies comme l´engagement communautaire sont urgentes.

Background Universities are places where students live and study in close contact to each other. Nowadays, the foundations of this particular group have been affected significantly by the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019. The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has demanded the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines. However, there is still limited evidence in COVID-19 vaccine acceptability and perceived barriers among some subgroups, including university students. This study aimed to assess vaccine acceptance, associated factors, and perceived barriers among university students, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2021 at Debre Berhan University among 423 students. The participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. A semi-structured, pretested, and self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Multivariable logistic-regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with vaccine acceptance. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and its p-value of ≤0.05 was used to declare significant association. Results The proportion of the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance was 69.3% (95% CI: 65, 74). Being knowledgeable (AOR: 2.43, CI: 1.57, 3.77), being a health science student (AOR: 2.25, CI: 1.43, 3.54), and being in a family practicing COVID-19 prevention (AOR: 1.73, CI: 1.06, 2.81) were found to be factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Conclusion Though, this study found a 69.3% acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine, there were noticeable perceived barriers and related factors in vaccine acceptance hesitancy. Thus, health education and communication regarding the vaccine are very crucial to alleviate the identified barriers.
