BACKGROUND
The use of face masks by all community members for the prevention of COVID-19 infection is considered one of the most effective strategies. However, the use of masks by community members was influenced by many factors which affected its efficacy as a preventive measure.
AIM
To evaluate the attitudes toward the use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Indian community.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We did an online survey with the help of a questionnaire which included information about demographic data, awareness and attitudes about COVID-19 infection and its preventive measures, and attitudes towards mask use in particular.
RESULTS
Participants had a positive attitude towards mask use. However, there were certain reasons for not using masks some of which were gender specific.
CONCLUSION
People had good awareness and attitude towards mask use. However, some gender differences in perception of masks used in various settings should be addressed for future awareness and education of the community about mask use.
背景
所有社区成员佩戴口罩预防新冠病毒感染被认为是最有效的策略之一。然而，社区成员佩戴口罩受到多种因素影响，进而影响其作为预防措施的效果。
目的
评估印度社区在新冠疫情期间对佩戴口罩的态度。
材料与方法
我们借助一份问卷进行了在线调查，问卷内容包括人口统计学数据、对新冠病毒感染及其预防措施的认知和态度，特别是对佩戴口罩的态度。
结果
参与者对佩戴口罩持积极态度。然而，不佩戴口罩存在某些原因，其中一些具有性别特异性。
结论
人们对佩戴口罩有良好的认知和态度。然而，对于不同场景下使用口罩的认知存在一些性别差异，未来应针对社区佩戴口罩的认知和教育加以解决。
