OBJECTIVE: To survey the residents for their understanding of Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19)-related knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) in two hard hit
provinces of China to facilitate the governmental decisions on strategies against
the disease. METHODS: We invited the participants from Hubei and Henan Provinces
of China for an internetbased survey starting from 12:00 on February 21, 2020 to
12:00 on February 23. The survey included the general conditions, KAP of
COVID-19, psychological status and living conditions of the residents. RESULTS:
The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 98.9%. The mean (P25, P75)
age of the participants was 19 (16, 40) years, and 54.3% of them were students.
Social media were the most important source of information concerning the
pandemic of the respondents. The respondents had a high awareness of
person-to-person transmission of the virus through the respiratory tract or
droplets but showed a relatively low level of awareness of the population
susceptible to COVID-19 and its specific symptoms. The results of multivariate
analysis showed that women, undergraduate students (including college students)
and higher degree holders had better knowledge of COVID-19 (P < 0.05); the
proportion of respondents who expressed to have different levels of psychological
stressed such as worry, anxiety and panic reached 77.2%; 16.7% of the responders
considered psychological interventions necessary for their psychological
conditions; 63.6% of the respondents confessed a bias against the people
returning from Hubei and Henan provinces, while 22.4% worried that they might be
biased because of their residence in Hubei and Henan. The rate of personal
protective equipment shortage was as high as 69.4%; the rates of the responders
who would "covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing", "properly use
masks in accordance with regulations", "maintain proper hand hygiene ", "avoid
gatherings with relatives and friends" and "refrain from going to public places"
were 92.4%, 95.9%, 93.5%, 88.8% and 93.1%, respectively. Women and groups with
good knowledge of the disease reported better protective behaviors against the
diseases (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The residents in Hubei and Henan Provinces
have generally good KAP related to COVID-19, and the online platforms plays a
positive role to in circulating epidemic-related information. It is essential to
further increase the supply of the protective materials and pay more attention to
the mental health of the residents during the pandemic, and psychological
counseling and psychological protection should be provided if necessary.
