This study is aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practices of DR-TB infection control among the healthcare workers under the National Tuberculosis Control Program in Nepal. In this cross-sectional study, we studied the healthcare workers from all the 11 functioning DR-TB treatment centers across Nepal in March 2018. Through face-to-face interviews, trained data collectors collected data on the characteristics of healthcare workers, their self-reported knowledge, attitude, and practice on DR-TB infection control. We entered the data in Microsoft Excel and analyzed in the R statistical software. We assigned a score of one to the correct response and zero to the incorrect or no response and calculated a composite score in each of the knowledge, attitude, and practice domains. We ascertained the healthcare workers as having good knowledge, appropriate attitude, and optimal practices when the composite score was ≥50%. We summarized the numerical variables with median (interquartile range (IQR)) and the categorical variables with proportions. We ran appropriate correlation tests to identify relationships between knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. We regarded a p < 0.05作为重要的价值。总共有95 102名医务工作者做出了回应。有46名男性受访者。中位数年龄为33年(差26-42)。他们中的大多数(53岁,55.79%)中层医护人员。我们发现91例(95.79%)受访者有很好的知识,49例(51.58%)有一个适当的态度,和35(36.84%)对DR-TB感染控制最佳实践。我们找到了一个态度和实践成绩之间显著正相关( ρ = 0.37 , p ≤ 0.001 )。DR-TB治疗中心的医务工作者在尼泊尔有良好的DR-TB感染控制知识,但没有转化为一个适当的态度或最佳实践。SN - 2090 - 150 - 2021/6615180 / 10.1155 x你——https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/6615180——摩根富林明——结核病研究和治疗PB - Hindawi KW - ER
