“…Regarding the correlation between mothers’ knowledge and their practice, there was highly significant correlation at p value <.01**. This outcome was in same line with the study conducted by Aduloju et al, (2021) who founded that there was a positive and highly significant correlation between mothers’ knowledge and their practice at p -value <.01**. Also, Kunno et al, 2022 reported that there was correlation analysis performed that found a weak positive correlation between knowledge and practice scores ( r = 0.210, p -value = .01).…”

Aim Evaluate the effect of the training program on knowledge and practice of breastfeeding women during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods One-group pretest/post-test quasiexperimental research design was utilized to accomplish the aim of this study. The study was carried out at the primary health care units Ad Dar Al Baida 1, Ad Dar Al Baida 2, Al Aziziyah at Riyadh Province of Saudi Arabia. The study included a convenience sample of 100 breastfeeding women. Tool A structured interviewing questionnaire sheet was used for data collection that included three parts knowledge, reported practice, and demographic characteristics. Results More than one-quarter (30%) and (28%) of studied women had satisfactory knowledge-related causes, risk factor and signs, symptoms of COVID-19 at preintervention, while the majority 85% and 86% of them had satisfactory knowledge postintervention at p-value <.01**. In addition, less than one-fifth (17%) and (16%) of studied women had satisfactory knowledge about Breastfeeding guidelines during COVID-19 and care of breastfeeding women during COVID-19, compared with most of them (89%) and (92%) postintervention at p-value <.01**. Conclusion Based on our current study, it was concluded that the educational program effectively improves breastfeeding women's knowledge and practices. There was a highly statistically significant positive linear correlation between the breastfeeding women's knowledge and reported practices regarding COVID-19 infection before and after the implementation of the educational program at p < .0.

Background Severe acute respiratory infections are a group of respiratory tract infections caused by a beta coronavirus (SARS-COV2).Corona Virus Disease ("COVID-19") is a family of SARS caused by a novel coronavirus that has recently spread rapidly throughout the world. The literature reveals gaps in preventive measures for specific groups, such as pregnant women. Thus, this study was aimed at assessing this gap to help with interventions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1 to 30, 2022, in the Dire Dawa city administration, Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select participants, and data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were entered and cleaned by Epi DATA (Version 3.1) and analyzed using SPSS (Version 22). A P-value < 0.25 at bivariate to select variables for multivariate and ≤ 0.05 at multivariate with 95% confidence intervals was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 404 participants were included, for a response rate of 96.4%. About 60.6 percent and 46.3 percent of pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) were knowledgeable and had good practice against COVID-19 prevention measures, respectively. The predictors for knowledge were urban residence (AOR = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.06–0.17), media exposure (AOR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.17–3.40), antenatal care visits (AOR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.33–5.35), and parity (AOR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.18–0.88). While urban residence (AOR = 6.60, 95% CI: 4.01–10.90), low income (AOR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37–0.93), and wanted pregnancy (AOR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.01–3.04) were predictors for practice, Conclusion Knowledge of pregnant women on COVID-19 was moderate compared to other studies, but their prevention practice was poor. Increased health education programs about COVID-19 were recommended for both urban and rural areas, as well as at hospital ANC wards.

“…Furthermore, 112 studies were excluded based on the exclusion criteria, such as the type of study, non-pregnant target group, and lack of access to the full text of the article. Finally, 53 studies, including 52 studies for knowledge [ 29 – 80 ], 15 studies for attitude [ 32 , 36 , 46 – 48 , 50 , 51 , 55 , 57 , 66 , 71 , 73 , 74 , 77 , 79 ], and 24 studies for practice [ 32 , 40 , 46 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 62 , 64 , 65 , 67 – 69 , 71 , 73 – 79 , 81 ] were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis (Fig. 1 ).…”

Background Pregnant women form a specially vulnerable group due to unique changes in pregnancy, leading to a higher risk of getting a severe infection. As severe COVID-19 increases the risk of preeclampsia, preterm delivery, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight in pregnancy, there is a need to enhance pregnant women’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices to prevent these complications. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine their levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) regarding COVID-19 at the global level. Methods The systematic literature search was conducted in the English language, including Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Science, EMBASE, Springer, and ProQuest, from the occurrence of the pandemic until September 2022. We used The Newcastle Ottawa scale for cross-sectional studies checklist to evaluate the risk of bias in the studies. Data were extracted by a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed by STATA software version 14. We also employed Cochran Q statistics to assess the heterogeneity of studies and utilized Inverse variance random-effects models to estimate the pooled level of pregnant women’s KAP towards COVID-19 infection prevention. Results Based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) and inclusion criteria, 53 qualified studies were acquired from several countries. In total, 51 articles (17,319 participants) for knowledge, 15 articles (6,509 participants) for attitudes, and 24 articles (11,032 participants) for practice were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled good knowledge, positive attitude, and appropriate practice in pregnant women were estimated at 59%(95%CI: 52–66%), 57%(95%CI: 42–72%), and 53%(95%CI: 41–65%), respectively. According to subgroup analysis, the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice were 61%(95%CI: 49–72), 52%(95%CI: 30–74), and 50%(95%CI: 39–60), respectively, in Africa, and 58.8%(95%CI: 49.2–68.4), 60%(95%CI: 41–80) and 60% (95%CI: 41–78), respectively, in Asia. Conclusion The Knowledge, attitude, and practice towards COVID-19 infection prevention in pregnant women were low. It is suggested that health education programs and empowerment of communities, especially pregnant women, about COVID-19 continue with better planning. For future studies, we propose to investigate the KAP of COVID-19 in pregnant women in countries of other continents and geographical regions.
