ABSTRACT
AJOL Abstract Background:
A number of protective and cautionary protocols have been adopted to control the rapid spread of COVID-19 in Sudan. People’s commitment to these protocols is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP).Objective:
To measure the Sudanese population’s KAP in relation to COVID-19 during the pandemic.Method:
A web sample was enrolled with success via the authors’ relations with citizens and standard media in Khartoum, Sudan. A self- administered online KAP questionnaire was completed by the respondents.Results:
Among the study sample (n=2336),66.4% between 18 and 29 years old, 60.7% were ladies, 75.9% had a high school education, and 76.1% were Khartoum citizens. The general correct rate of the knowledge questionnaire was 84.7%. The majority of the participants (94.8%) were ready to commit to the decision of staying at home. A large proportion of the participants (92%) frequently washed their hands or using antiseptic.Conclusion:
Health teaching programs geared to enhancing COVID-19 knowledge are useful for Sudan citizens fostering positive attitudes and disseminating knowledge relating to helpful practices. Due to the limited sample representativeness, we must be cautious when generalizing thesefindings:
