Eighty-four (62%) were medical doctors and 125 (92%) had at least a bachelor's degree. A vast majority of the participants were male ( n = 87, n = 64%), with a median age of 32 (range: 20–66) years. Results: Of the 581 HCWs approached, 136 (23%) responded.
All analyses were performed using STATA 15.1 and GraphPad Prism 8.3. Bloom's cut-off of 80% was used to determine sufficient knowledge (≥80%), positive attitude (≥4), and good practice (≥2.4). KAP toward COVID-19 was assessed by using a pre-validated questionnaire. HCWs aged 18 years and above constituted the study population. Methods: An online cross sectional, descriptive study was undertaken through WhatsApp Messenger among HCWs in four MUTHs. The present study sought to determine knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of health care workers (HCWs) toward COVID-19 in Makerere University Teaching Hospitals (MUTHs) in Uganda.
