OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding the monkeypox virus among undergraduate students of Allied health science institutes in Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY
This study follows a descriptive cross-sectional design involving a nonprobability convenient sampling technique of 384 Allied health science students. The survey comprised demographics and an assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the Monkeypox virus. Informed consent was obtained from all participants, and measures were taken to safeguard the confidentiality of study information. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 22 version.
RESULTS
The study examined three key variables: Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice, regarding monkeypox among the participants. The findings showed that the knowledge related to the primary transmission mode was approximately 66.6%, demonstrating a lack of knowledge regarding monkeypox’s primary transmission mode. The knowledge regarding the incubation period was around 52.08% of the participants exhibited insufficient knowledge regarding the incubation period of monkeypox. The attitude of the participant's concern about the risk of monkeypox was that the majority of the participants, approximately 83.33%, expressed varying levels of concern about the potential risk associated with monkeypox. Confidence in implementing preventive measures: Roughly 39.06% of the participants reported feeling confident in their ability to implement preventive measures effectively. Of the participants practice related to adherence to preventive measures was noted 49.47% reported consistent adherence to recommended preventive measures related to monkeypox.
CONCLUSION
The study highlighted significant knowledge gaps, specifically related to the primary mode of transmission and incubation period of monkeypox among participants. Despite the high concern, many participants lacked confidence in implementing preventive measures, and only around half consistently adhered to them. Targeted educational interventions and awareness campaigns are needed to improve knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding monkeypox and enhance preparedness for preventing and managing infections.
