Objective:
Understanding about influenza would be helpful in adapting preventive measures like social distancing, seeking medical attention and getting vaccinated. The objective of this study was to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) towards influenza among Indian corporate employees and assessment of their awareness through a questionnaire-based survey.
Methods:
Indian corporate employees of either gender (≥18 years) were provided with a self-administered questionnaire with domains namely knowledge (21 questions), attitude (6 questions), and practices (6 questions).
Results:
Overall, 500 corporate employees completed the survey from four zones. Total of 50.8% respondents had low level of knowledge of influenza, 34% had moderate knowledge, and 15.2% had high knowledge of influenza. Attitude domain revealed that 66% respondents were quiet concerned and 24% were extremely concerned regarding influenza. The practice domain demonstrated that 57.8% respondents took high level of precautions while 36.6% took moderate level precautions for the prevention of infection.
Conclusions:
Knowledge and attitude regarding importance of vaccine against influenza is not adequate. This study emphasizes the need for effective awareness programs for the management of influenza.
