新冠肺炎疫情背景下约旦科技大学学生健康行为水平

目的:本研究旨在评估约旦科技大学学生在COVID-19大流行背景下的健康行为水平。方法:采用描述性方法，对约旦科技大学的436名男女学生进行分层随机抽样，问卷共30项。结果:研究结果显示约旦科技大学学生的健康行为水平较高。此外，参与者对健康行为水平的所有项目的回答在性别上没有统计学上的显著差异。然而，结果确实显示了基于居住地和收入水平变量的差异，这些变量倾向于来自城市的学生，而收入水平则倾向于高收入的学生。结论:基于上述结果，本研究提出了几点建议。首先，需要提高科技大学学生对接种卫生部批准的COVID-19疫苗重要性的认识。这种疫苗在保护他们免受冠状病毒感染风险方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
