In 2022, the monkeypox virus spread to over 60 countries, raising significant public health concerns. Nurses play a vital role in patient care and have critical responsibilities in managing infected patients and being aware of the potential impact on the general population. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study aimed to investigate the knowledge and attitudes (KAs) of Bangladeshi nurses regarding monkeypox infectious disease. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> A cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2022 and March 2023 to evaluate the KA of nurses. Semi-structured and self-administered questionnaires were used, distributed via Google Form, and a convenient sampling technique was implemented. The dataset was analyzed using the Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression, and Pearson correlation coefficient. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 1047 datasets were included in the final analysis. Overall, 57.97% of the participants demonstrated good knowledge, and 93.12% of the respondents had a positive attitude towards monkeypox disease. Female nurses exhibited better knowledge (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88\u20131.98) and a more positive attitude (AOR 1.64; 95% CI 1.12\u20133.00) than male nurses. Furthermore, a strong correlation was observed between good knowledge of monkeypox disease and a positive attitude (r\u2009=\u20090.76, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while poor knowledge moderately correlated with a negative attitude (r\u2009=\u20090.53, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> Given the need for further improvement in KA, we recommend implementing additional training programs to enhance the abilities and motivation of nurses in effectively managing patients affected by monkeypox. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608231216619","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,24]],"date-time":"2023-11-24T07:09:56Z","timestamp":1700809796000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Human Monkeypox Virus Infection among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6905-0554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moustaq Karim Khan","family":"Rony","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Master of Public Health, Bangladesh Open University, Gazipur, Bangladesh"},{"name":"Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priyanka Das","family":"Sharmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International University of Business Agriculture and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dilruba","family":"Akter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Red Crescent Nursing College, Sylhet, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mst.
