dc.description.abstractBackground: The world experienced the greatest pandemic of the 21st century with the emergence of a new and readily transmissible the coronavirus disease. Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the public towards the pandemic is an essential part of developing effective preventive strategies. Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning the coronavirus (COVID 19) among population in Istanbul. Methods: This is a cross sectional and multi stage, stratified random sampling based on multi center population of Istanbul. A total of 5,414 persons were contacted and 4361 participants (80.5%) gave consent. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression analyses. Results: There were significant differences between low education and high educational level with respect to age groups, gender, occupation, income, residence, number of rooms and family members (P < 0.001). Responses concerning knowledge of COVID 19 indicated that subjects with high education level were significantly higher regarding knowledge of the signs and symptoms of COVID 19 and methods of detecting COVID 19 respectively. Majority of the participants consider COVID 19 risk is higher than AIDS or Cancer (75.8% of low education vs. 67.2% of high education level (P < 0.001). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed that monthly income status (P < 0.001), appropriate method of detecting COVID 19 (P < 0.001), occupational status (P < 0.001), medical mask prevent against COVID 19 (P < 0.001), eating or contacting wild animals (P < 0.001), isolation and treatment of people reduce risk (P < 0.001), isolation 14 days (P < 0.001), avoid going to crowded places such as train metro, bus, restaurants and shopping (P = 0.003), COVID 19 spreads via respiratory droplets (P = 0.004), afraid of travel (P = 0.026) were significantly associated with COVID 19 knowledge. Conclusions: The current study results revealed that the educational level and occupation especially sedentary are correlated positively with knowledge, attitude and practices. This finding is not surprising since higher education levels and professional status are associated with good KAP in most epidemic diseases including COVID 19. Nevertheless, the recent experience with COVID 19 has provided lessons on strategy and policy making.
