- Abstract
- This study was performed to investigate the association of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices for the prevention of Zika virus infection. The study sample consisted of 185 pregnant women in Korea. The Zika virus-related knowledge and attitude of pregnant women significantly affected preventive practices. The younger pregnant women and pregnant women who had not taken the influenza vaccine had lesser preventive practices of the Zika virus, thereby necessitating educating them and emphasizing good preventive practices. Our results suggest that systematic education and effective prevention programs for Zika virus will contribute to the prevention of infection.
