The study aims to determine the level of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) related to COVID-19 preventive health habits and perception of fear towards COVID-19 in subjects living in Bangladesh. Design: Prospective, cross-sectional survey of (n = 2157) male and female subjects, 13–88 years of age, living in Bangladesh. Methods: Ethical approval and trial registration were obtained before the commencement of the study. Subjects who volunteered to participate and signed the informed consent were enrolled in the study and completed the structured questionnaire on KAP and Fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S). Results: Twenty-eight percent (28.69%) of subjects reported one or more COVID-19 symptoms, and 21.4% of subjects reported one or more co-morbidities. Knowledge scores were slightly higher in males (8.75± 1.58) than females (8.66± 1.70). Knowledge was significantly correlated with age (p < .005), an education level (p < .001), attitude (p < .001), and urban location (p < .001). Knowledge scores showed an inverse correlation with fear scores (p < .001). Eighty-three percent (83.7%) of subjects with COVID-19 symptoms reported wearing a mask in public, and 75.4% of subjects reported staying away from crowded places. Subjects with one or more symptoms reported higher fear compared to subjects without (18.73± 4.6; 18.45± 5.1). Conclusion: Bangladeshis reported a high prevalence of self-isolation, positive preventive health behaviors related to COVID-19, and moderate to high fear levels. Higher knowledge and Practice were found in males, higher education levels, older age, and urban location. Fear of COVID-19 was more prevalent in female and elderly subjects. A positive attitude was reported for the majority of subjects, reflecting the belief that COVID-19 was controllable and containable.

该研究旨在确定生活在孟加拉国的受试者与COVID-19预防健康习惯和对COVID-19的恐惧感相关的知识，态度和实践（KAP）的水平。设计：对居住在孟加拉国的13-88岁的（n = 2157）男性和女性受试者进行前瞻性，横断面调查。方法：在研究开始之前已获得伦理批准和试验注册。自愿参加并签署知情同意书的受试者参加了研究，并完成了有关KAP和对COVID-19量表的恐惧（FCV-19S）的结构化问卷。结果：28％（28.69％）的受试者报告一种或多种COVID-19症状，21.4％的受试者报告一种或多种合并症。男性（8.75±1.58）的知识得分略高于女性（8.66±1.70）。知识与年龄（p <.005），受教育程度（p <.001），态度（p <.001）和城市位置（p <.001）显着相关。知识分数与恐惧分数呈负相关（p <.001）。百分之八十三（83.7％）的COVID-19症状受试者报告在公共场合戴口罩，而75.4％的受试者报告远离拥挤的地方。与没有症状的受试者相比，具有一种或多种症状的受试者报告的恐惧更高（18.73±4.6； 18.45±5.1）。结论：孟加拉国人报告称其自我隔离患病率很高，与COVID-19相关的积极预防健康行为，以及中等至高水平的恐惧感。在男性，高等教育程度，年龄和城市地区发现了较高的知识和实践。对COVID-19的恐惧在女性和老年受试者中更为普遍。
