Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the burden on the collapsing health system in northwest Syria. The situation was exacerbated by the low rates of adherence to preventive measures and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. In this study, we systematically analysed studies related to Risk Communication and Community Engagement programs, and community awareness in northwest Syria in order to determine the most widespread prevention methods, the community\'s perspectives and knowledge of epidemic prevention, and the factors that prevent effective community engagement and uptake of COVID-19 prevention precautions in an area that has been suffering from the scourge of conflict for more than ten years. Based on the research findings, low adherence to COVID-19 prevention measures is mainly due to external factors related to socioeconomic status, scarcity of resources, and poor living conditions. Therefore, this study suggested that integrated multi-sectoral humanitarian programs that address these factors holistically are more effective than solely public health interventions in involving the community to become an active part of the Risk Communication and Community Engagement programs and ensuring their effectiveness.
摘要:
COVID-19大流行增加了叙利亚西北部崩溃的卫生系统的负担。对预防措施的坚持率和对COVID-19疫苗的接受度低,加剧了这种情况。在这项研究中,我们系统分析了与风险沟通和社区参与计划相关的研究,以及叙利亚西北部的社区意识,以确定最广泛的预防方法,社区的观点和防疫知识,以及在一个十多年来一直遭受冲突祸害的地区,阻止社区有效参与和采取COVID-19预防预防措施的因素。根据研究结果,对COVID-19预防措施的依从性低主要是由于与社会经济地位有关的外部因素,资源稀缺,和恶劣的生活条件。因此,这项研究表明,从整体上解决这些因素的综合多部门人道主义方案在社区参与风险沟通和社区参与方案并确保其有效性方面比单纯的公共卫生干预措施更有效.
