| Popis: | This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of people in relation to the proper management of water consumption at home and offer solutions to possible problems in the city of Kermanshah in 2015. For this cross-sectional study, we initially developed a questionnaire and then selected people in Kermanshah as the target population. We determined a region of Kermanshah using cluster sampling selected 120 people (60 males and 60 females) from the area randomly. The results were analyzed by SPSS software and using two group independent samples T-test and one-way ANOVA at a significance level. The knowledge of the studied population, depending on the residence type, occupation and education level was significantly different (P 0.05). The attitudes of the participants based on the residence type, occupation, education level and age group had a significant difference (P 0.05). According to the results, we conclude that the studied population despite the good level of knowledge and attitude failed to implement them in practice. To solve this problem, we recommend designing and implementing a training program particularly through the media and responsible organizations considering the influence of parameters such as the residence type, gender and age group. |
