Abstract

Objective

The study focused on the association between knowledge, practice and attitude towards tuberculosis in the university population during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

Used Jean Watson’s theory of caring in mindfulness practice and surveyed 187 nursing surveyed 187 nursing interns from three universities. The instruments (knowledge, practice and attitude questionnaires) were validated and showed high reliability (Cronbach’s α reliability Cronbach’s α = 0.814).

Results

A strong correlation was found between knowledge and practice of tuberculosis (r = 0.996, p < 0.05), indicating a significant association. However, the association between knowledge and attitude was weaker (r = 0.160, p < 0.05). The majority had knowledge (61.2 %), a neutral practice (52.2 %) and an acceptable attitude towards TB (85.4 %).

Conclusion

These findings suggest the need to strengthen anti-TB strategies, especially in times of pandemic. The inclusion of Watson’s humanistic approach can improve the well-being of inmates and the care of patients.

COVID-19：大学生对肺结核感染的认知、实践和态度之间的关联

方法采用让-沃森（Jean Watson）的心智实践关怀理论，对三所大学的 187 名护理实习生进行了调查。结果发现肺结核的知识和实践之间存在很强的相关性（r = 0.996，p <0.05），表明两者之间存在显著的关联。然而，知识与态度之间的相关性较弱（r = 0.160，p <0.05）。大多数人对肺结核有所了解（61.2%），持中立态度（52.2%）和可接受的态度（85.4%）。纳入沃森的人文关怀方法可以改善囚犯的福祉和对病人的护理。
