Objective: The present investigation aims to conduct a comprehensive examination of the infection prevention and control efforts in hospitals of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps designated for COVID-19 treatment.
Methods: By searching the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Chinese Academic Journal, Full Text Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), VIP Chinese Scientific, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database (CECDB), and using Review Manager 5.2 software, the quality assessment, data extraction, and meta-analysis were carried out for the included literature.
Results: Between both the experimental and the control groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the level of public awareness of COVID-19 prevention and control [OR = 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.31, 1.99), P < .00001, I2 = 32%, Z = 4]; public concern about COVID-19 prevention and control [OR = 1.56, 95% CI (1.28, 1.90), P < .0001, I2 = 0%, Z = 4.35]; public anxiety on COVID-19 prevention and control [OR = 1.67, 95% CI (1.37, 2.03), P < .00001, I2 = 32%, Z = 5.13].
Conclusion: Chinese prophylaxis and controlling measures for COVID-19 are mainly to protect vulnerable populations, cut off transmission routes, and control the source of infection. Therefore, we must also do our best to prevent and control novel coronavirus pneumonia to protect our health and reduce the burden on our country.
