Online cross-sectional study assesses knowledge and attitudes about mpox in healthcare workers, indicating gaps in readiness.

This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare workers towards the re-emergence of human monkeypox in Central Ethiopia.
Conducted an online cross-sectional study with 419 healthcare workers randomly chosen from June 16 to 28, 2025.
Collected data using a self-administered questionnaire distributed via Google Forms.
Performed statistical analysis using SPSS version 26 and applied multivariable logistic regression.
46.8% of healthcare workers had good knowledge about mpox (95% CI: 42.0–51.7).
43.4% showed positive attitudes towards mpox (95% CI: 39.1–48.0).
Good knowledge was related to higher education levels, specific job roles (health officers, pharmacists), and positive attitudes.

Larebo et al. (2026) studied this question.
