Knowledge levels of primary healthcare workers in Burdur province about viral zoonosis diseases

Öz

Aim: Most infectious diseases are zoonotic, transmitted through direct contact or vectors from domestic or wild animals. The knowledge level of the community and health workers is crucial for effectively managing zoonotic diseases. Materials and Methods: In this planned cross-sectional study, reseaechers utilized a data collection from assess the knowledge of healthcare worker in primary healthcare institutions regarding Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), Hantavirus infection, West Nile Virus (WNV) infection, and Rabies. Considering that in-service training on zoonotic diseases is conducted annually, a knowledge level of 70 points or above was deemed sufficient. Results: The study achieved a 61.7% participation rate, with 56.3% of healthcare workers being women 59.2% identified as family doctors (FD), and 40.8%as family health workers (FHW). About 46.9% of participants had undergone in-service training around two years ago, but this did not correlate with a significant impact on knowledge levels. Adequate knowledge was found in 35% of healthcare professionals. Notably, deficiencies in knowledge were observed in the clinic of CCHF infection (86%), diagnosis of rabies infection (76%), and transmission of Hantavirus infection (62%). zoonotic diseases knowledge score in FDs compared to FHWs (p<0.001). FDs exhibited elevated knowledge levels about CCHF (p=0.005), WNV (p=0.003), and Hantavirus (p<0.001) infections. Furthermore, males (p=0.003) and participants over 40 years old (p=0.009) demonstrated a heightened knowledge level about Hantavirus infection. No factor was found to be associated with the knowledge level of rabies and rabies-risk contact (p>0.05). The knowledge level score for those who received in-service training was 69.90 (min 27.69-max 93.20), with no significant difference compared to those who did not receive in-service training. In conclusion, this study revealed that approximately one-third of primary healthcare workers in Burdur province possess sufficient knowledge. To enhance their expertise in zoonotic diseases, more advanced and targeted training programs are needed.
