en عمومى General مقاله اصیل Original Article <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: This study aimed to develop and practically use a questionnaire to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of women regarding the use of sanitizers at home against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).<br> Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted among Iranian women (aged &ge;18 years). The KAP items were selected based on the experts&rsquo; opinions, and the scale underwent a series of validation processes, including the face, content, and construct validity, and internal consistency for reliability.<br> Results: The internal consistency coefficient exceeded 0.7 for KAP subunits. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) suggested a three-factor construct for each subunit, and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated acceptable fit indices for the proposed models. Overall, 330 women (mean age: 36.78 &plusmn; 10.12 years, married: 74.2%, and bachelor&rsquo;s degree: 46.7%) completed the questionnaire. The level of adequate knowledge on sanitizer use, positive attitude, and good practice achieved were 87.0%, 58.5%, and 66.1%, respectively. Among demographic variables, education level and occupation showed a significant relationship (P < 0.05) against KAP and attitude, individually.<br> Conclusion: Despite the high percentage of knowledge, the participants did not get a high attitude and practice score.</div> KAP, COVID-19, Perceptions, Disinfection, Validity, Iran 55 64 http://ehemj.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-238&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammad Mosaferi mmosaferi@yahoo.com 10031947532846009834 10031947532846009834 No Health and Environment Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Neda Gilani neda.gilani@gmail.com 10031947532846009835 10031947532846009835 Yes Corresponding author: Health and Environment Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Shokufeh Delfi shokufehdelfi@gmial.com 10031947532846009836 10031947532846009836 No Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Rasoul Ahmadpour ahmadpour_rasoul27@yahoo.com 10031947532846009837 10031947532846009837 No Department of Occupational Health Engineering, Faculty of Health, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Vijay Kumar Chattu 10031947532846009838 10031947532846009838 No Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5G 2C4, Canada
