• W3180361250 abstract "ABSTRACTObjective.  A continuous analysis of knowledge, attitude towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and implementation of protective measures is imperative as the pandemic progresses. We aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of COVID-19 and associated preventive measures one year after the onset of the pandemic, specifically patients received at ear-nose-throat (ENT) outpatient departments that receive the bulk of patients presenting with upper respiratory symptoms in Cameroon. Population and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional hospital-based survey in three health institutions in Cameroon. A consecutive sampling was done, for two months, recruiting all eligible ENT outpatient attendees aged 21 years and above. Results. We enrolled a total of 203 participants. Ninety-eight percent of participants (199) had heard of COVID-19. Definitions given included “viral disease” (104; 51.2%), “pandemic” (24; 11.8%), “airborne disease” (23; 11.3%), “respiratory infectious disease” (11; 5.4%). Cough (93.6%), breathing difficulties (75.4%) and fever (74.4%) were the most listed symptoms. All participants claimed to use at least one preventive measure. Face masks were used at all times only by 11.8%. Among patients who had presented symptoms, most practiced auto medication (28; 93.3%) comprising antibiotics and herbal mixtures. Comparing knowledge of preventive measures with practice, regular hand washing (p=0.004) and avoidance of close contact (p<0.001) showed significant differences. Conclusion. Knowledge on COVID-19 has greatly improved. Use of protective means is suboptimal and could be improved by continuous communication, supply of tools for the public and sanctions for inadequate implementation. The domain of traditional medicine in our setting needs better organisation.RESUMEObjectif. Evaluer les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques de la COVID-19 et des mesures preventives associees un an apres le debut de la pandemie, chez les patients recus dans les services ambulatoires d'oto-rhino-laryngologie (ORL) qui des patients presentant des symptomes des voies respiratoires superieures au Cameroun. Population et Methodes. Nous avons mene une enquete transversale en milieu hospitalier dans trois institutions de sante au Cameroun. Un echantillonnage consecutif a ete effectue, pendant deux mois, en recrutant tous les patients eligibles des services externes d'ORL âges de 21 ans et plus. Resultats. Nous avons recrute un total de 203 participants, dont 99% (199 participants) avaient entendu parler de la COVID-19. Les definitions donnees comprenaient maladie virale (104; 51, 2%), pandemie (24; 11, 8%), maladie aeroportee (23; 11, 3%), maladie infectieuse respiratoire (11; 5, 4%). La toux (93, 6%), les difficultes respiratoires (75, 4%) et la fievre (74, 4%) etaient les symptomes les plus cites. Tous les participants disaient utiliser au moins une mesure preventive. Seuls 11,8 % d'entre eux utilisaient des masques en permanence. Parmi les patients qui avaient presente des symptomes, la plupart pratiquaient l'automedication (28 ; 93,3%) comprenant des antibiotiques et des melanges de plantes. En comparant la connaissance des mesures preventives avec la pratique, le lavage regulier des mains (p=0,004) et l'evitement des contacts etroits (p<0,001) ont montre des differences significatives. Conclusion. Les connaissances sur le COVID-19 se sont ameliorees. Une communication continue ameliorerait l'utilisation des moyens de protection. La medecine traditionnelle dans notre milieu necessite egalement une meilleure organisation." @default.
