COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Perceived Risk: Cross Sectional Mixed Methods

Completed

Conditions studied: COVID - 19, Multiple Sclerosis

In brief

Knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and perceived risk highlight the importance of education translated into actions to reduce the risk of global infections. The purpose was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP), and perceived risk associated with COVID-19 among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), healthcare providers and laypeople during the first 6-months of the pandemic. A descriptive, cross-sectional, partially mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was employed, using convenience sampling. Data were collected through a demographic and a KAP questionnaires including perceived risk assessment. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative comments underwent thematic analysis.
