| Popis: | Background: Since health workers are the leading providers of health services, increasing their knowledge and performance can play an essential role in preventing diseases, especially Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).Objectives: The current research was conducted to compare the effects of lecture training and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) training on health workers’ knowledge, attitude, and performance in preventing COVID-19.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in two groups with a pretest-posttest design. The study population included 60 health workers in Nikshahr selected by random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, including demographic questions and items on health workers’ knowledge, attitude, and performance in preventing COVID-19, completed in two training groups by lecture and MMS methods online before and after the intervention.Results: The participants’ mean score of knowledge increased significantly after training in both lecture and MMS methods (P < 0.050), but no significant difference was observed between the two methods (P > 0.050). The mean attitude score in the two groups before and after the intervention showed no significant difference (P < 0.050). In the performance dimension, a significant difference was observed between the two groups post-intervention, and this score significantly increased in the MMS group (P < 0.050).Conclusion: Considering the effect of the MMS method on health workers’ knowledge and performance, this method can be considered a suitable solution to meet the growing demand for training. |
