概括
在脆弱的肯尼亚人中,COVID-19的知识,态度和做法各不相同. 相信个人非药物干预 (NPI),如戴口罩,与减少社会距离相关,突出了需要流行病战略来考虑风险补偿的需要.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 行为科学 行为科学
背景情况:
- 关于严重急性呼吸道综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2) 非药物干预措施 (NPIs) 的知识,态度和实践 (KAPs) 可以在不同的人群中显著不同,特别是那些健康脆弱的人群.
- 了解这些KAP对于在流行病期间有效的公共卫生干预至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在肯尼亚的青少年和成年人中调查COVID-19 KAP,这些青少年和成年人表现出对艾滋病毒的行为脆弱性.
- 在这个特定人群中识别与遵守NPI相关的因素.
主要方法:
- 从2021年12月到2023年4月,在肯尼亚的Kericho和Homa Bay进行了一项横截面研究.
- 参与者 (年龄在14-55岁之间,没有艾滋病毒) 报告了艾滋病毒的风险因素 (例如,性传播感染,吸毒,交易性行为) 填写了关于社会人口统计和KAP的自我管理问卷.
- 采用多变量强大的波桑回归来确定与NPI实践相关的因素的流行率 (PR) 和95%置信区间 (CI).
主要成果:
- 在399名参与者中,对戴口罩的信念与较少的户外聚会 (PR=0.44) 和较少的购物 (PR=0.48) 有关.
- 相信洗手与少避免人群相关 (PR=0.73),而广泛使用口罩与减少购物相关 (PR=1.12).
- 在Omicron浪潮期间,参与者不太可能避免人群,减少购物或在户外见面.
结论:
- 相信个人NPI (戴口罩,洗手) 与减少参与社交NPI (避免人群,减少购物,限制户外会议) 相关.
- 针对未来的流行病应对措施的公共卫生战略必须考虑风险补偿现象,在这种情况下,遵守某些保护措施可能会导致对其他措施的遵守减少.

3.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.
