Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine how undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and health beliefs affected their COVID-19-related infection-prevention behaviors.

Methods: This study used a descriptive survey. A total of 188 undergraduate nursing students from two universities in South Korea participated in this study. The data were collected from June 2020 to August 2020. Factors influencing infection-prevention behaviors were identified using multiple regression analysis.

Results: The participants' mean knowledge level regarding COVID-19 was 84.05 ± 11.78 out of 100. The average health belief score was 2.80 ± 0.32 points out of 5. COVID-19-related preventive health behaviors were correlated with experiences of searching for COVID-19 information (r = .22, p < .01), perceived severity (r = .24, p < .01), perceived benefits (r = .29, p < .01), cues to action (r = .30, p < .01), knowledge (r = .27, p < .01), and perceived barriers (r = -.19, p < .05). Factors that significantly affected COVID-19-related preventive health behaviors were the participants' years of study, experiences regarding COVID-19 prevention education, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and cues to action.

Conclusion: COVID-19-related preventive health behaviors are promoted by increasing awareness about the disease and promoting COVID-19 education in nursing curriculums.

影响本科护生COVID-19预防行为的因素:一项横断面描述性研究

目的:本研究旨在了解本科护生的相关知识和健康信念对其新冠肺炎相关感染预防行为的影响。方法:本研究采用描述性调查法。来自韩国两所大学的188名护理专业本科生参与了本研究。数据收集于2020年6月至2020年8月。采用多元回归分析确定影响感染预防行为的因素。结果:参与者对COVID-19的平均知识水平为84.05±11.78(满分为100)。健康信念平均得分为2.80±0.32分(满分5分)。与COVID-19相关的预防健康行为与搜索COVID-19信息的经历(r = 0.22, p < 0.01)、感知严重性(r = 0.24, p < 0.01)、感知益处(r = 0.29, p < 0.01)、行动线索(r = 0.30, p < 0.01)、知识(r = 0.27, p < 0.01)和感知障碍(r = -)相关。19, p < 0.05)。显著影响与COVID-19相关的预防健康行为的因素是参与者的学习年限、COVID-19预防教育的经验、感知的严重程度、感知的障碍和行动线索。结论:通过提高疾病意识和在护理课程中加强COVID-19教育，促进与COVID-19相关的预防健康行为。
