Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude levels of pediatricians in terms of the pertussis vaccine. Materials and Methods: A survey study was carried out to evaluate the knowledge and attitude levels of pediatricians working in Istanbul in terms of the pertussis vaccine between May 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015. Results: A total of 104 pediatricians who comprised of 53 male and 51 female physicians, participated in this study. It was found that 35.6% of them at low-level, 51% at middle-level and 13.5% at a high-level of knowledge. The knowledge-level scores of the pediatricians who had children were significantly higher than those of pediatricians who had not a child on pertussis vaccine. Moreover, the knowledge-level scores of the specialist doctors in terms of the pertussis vaccine were significantly higher than those of the assistant doctors. It was significant that pediatricians who had children suffering from chronic diseases had greater knowledge-level scores in terms of the pertussis vaccine than those who had children without any disease.

The Relationship

Safety and Healthcare system become the government's main agenda, especially when the country is facing a critical global epidemic crisis, known as the transmission of the third wave of COVID-19. The country of Sabah is a state that reports so many cases of daily infections that up to 600 active cases are detected every day and subsequently places the state of Sabah become a red zone. Therefore, the emphasis on knowledge level is an important aspect in curbing the transmission of COVID-19. Thus, this study was conducted to find out what is the level of knowledge about COVID-19 and the Movement Control Order (MCO) as well as to identify the relationship between these two variables in breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission, especially among the ILKKM KK staff. The study design was applying quantitatively in the research methodology, by the implementation of questionnaires through surveys, while convenient random sampling was used as a sampling method with a total of 267 respondents consisting of ILKKM KK staff. Analysis of instrument evaluation and sampling methods is also discussed in this study. The results showed that the patient's level of knowledge about COVID-19 was at a high level with a mean value = 3.902, SD = 0.423. However, the level of knowledge about MCO is at a moderate level with a mean value = 3.631, SD = 0.323. Meanwhile, correlation analysis showed there is a strong relationship between knowledge of COVID-19 and knowledge of MCO with correlation value r = 0.79, p> 0.05. Thus, the results of this analysis show that there is a strong relationship between the knowledge level ofCOVID-19 and MCO in deciding the chain of infection of COVID-19, especially among the ILKKM KK residents.
