The main aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitude of health workers about Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Yazd city, Iran.<br> <strong>Methods:</strong> This cross-sectional study was carried out on 110 health workers in health centres of Yazd city, Iran in 2015, who were selected by cluster random sampling method. The tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic information as well as knowledge and attitude questions about EVD with confirmed validity and reliability. Data were analysed by statistical tests of Student&rsquo;s T-test, Chi-square, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient.<br> <strong>Results: </strong>The mean score of the participants&#39; knowledge and attitude were 25.16&plusmn; 3.58 (range 0-46) and 46.59&plusmn;4.05 (range 13-65), respectively. More than half of the health workers did not know transmission routes of EVD. However, 59.6% of them were aware that the one way to prevent the disease was to avoid contact with an infected person. A significant correlation was also found between knowledge and attitude scores (P< 0.001, r= 0.384).<br> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Since knowledge of the health workers was at the moderate level, training courses and interventional programs are recommended for health care workers especially about transmission routes and signs of EVD to increase the Knowledge and attitude of the participants.</div> <br> <div style="clear:both;"></div> Ebolavirus,Knowledge,Attitude,Health Personnel, 92 100 http://jhr.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1227-9&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Hassan Rezaeipandari حسن رضایی پنداری https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8150-8687 No Department of Health Education and Promotion, Faculty of Health, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz , Iran گروه آموزشی بهداشت و ارتقاء سلامت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز، تبریز، ایران Vali Bahrevar ولی بهره ور https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0829-5347 No Department of Health Education and Promotion, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran گروه آموزشی بهداشت و ارتقاء سلامت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید صدوقی، یزد، ایران Alireza Babaei Mazreno علیرضا بابایی مرزنو https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6159-5536 No Department of Sport Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Khorasgan Branch, Isfahan, Iran گروه علوم ورزشی، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، واحد خوراسگان، اصفهان، ایران Zohreh Rahaei زهره رهایی https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5959-5390 Yes Department of Health Education and Promotion, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran گروه آموزشی بهداشت و ارتقاء سلامت، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید صدوقی، یزد، ایران Saeedeh Zare Jamalabadi سعیده زارع جمال آبادی https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4582-142X No Department of Radiology, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran گروه رادیولوژی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید صدوقی، یزد، ایران Maryam Jedari Eghbali مریم جداری اقبالی https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3967-4224 No Deputy of Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran معاون بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید صدوقی یزد، یزد
