Abstract
LUCCHETTA, RC et al. Strategies to improve knowledge, attitude, and practice in COVID-19 prevention and control measures: a systematic review. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.1, pp.89-97. Epub Nov 21, 2022. ISSN 1699-714X. https://dx.doi.org/10.43p21/s1699-714x20220001000017.
Objectives:
To identify strategies to improve knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about prevention and control measures of COVID-19 in the world.
Method:
A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative evidence was conducted, searching PubMed, LILACS and Scopus databases. Reporting and methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.
Results:
Of 2,196 records identified in the search, 12 studies were included. Most studies evaluated educational strategies (n=10), mainly training based on simulation (n=6) for health professionals (n=9). Regardless of strategy or audience, all studies identified improvements in knowledge (n=7), practice (n=7), and attitude (n=4). However, all studies presented at least one quality limitation.
Conclusions:
Effective strategies have been identified to improve CAP in the prevention and control of COVID-19, especially aimed at healthcare professionals with simulation-based training (low quality).
