Abstract

Purpose

This study was carried out to determine the effect of high school students' perception of risk of COVID-19, wearing masks and social distance behavior on stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method

This descriptive study was performed on 1034 participants between the ages of 15 and 18 between June 21 and July 2, 2021. “Descriptive Questionnaire,” “COVID-19 Risk Perception Form,” “Mask Wear Behavior Form,” “Social Distance Behavior Form,” and “Perceived Stress Scale” were used in data collection.

Results

It was determined that 81.4% of the students used disposable medical masks, and 50.6% of them used the mask they wore for one day. In the characteristics of the risk perception of COVID-19, 31% have a risk perception, 45% are afraid to contact people returning from abroad, 58.8% avoid going to crowded places, 66.8% are afraid of contacting people with flu symptoms. It was found that they always kept sufficient distance while communicating with others. As a result of the multiple regression, it was determined that gender, mask type, mask usage frequency, risk perception, social distance behavior, and mask-wearing behavior had a statistically significant effect on the perceived stress level (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

These results provide theoretical inferences for public health policies targeting the high school students to develop accurate risk perception and protective behaviors.

风险感知、口罩使用和社会距离行为对COVID-19过程中感知压力的影响:一项分段研究
目的研究新冠肺炎大流行期间高中生对新冠肺炎风险感知、佩戴口罩和社交距离行为对压力的影响。方法于2021年6月21日至7月2日对1034名年龄在15至18岁之间的参与者进行描述性研究。数据收集采用“描述性问卷”、“COVID-19风险感知表”、“口罩佩戴行为表”、“社会距离行为表”和“感知压力量表”。结果81.4%的学生使用一次性医用口罩,50.6%的学生使用一天口罩。在新冠肺炎风险认知特征中,31%的人有风险认知,45%的人害怕接触从国外归来的人,58.8%的人避免去人多的地方,66.8%的人害怕接触有流感症状的人。我们发现他们在与他人交流时总是保持足够的距离。多元回归结果显示,性别、口罩类型、口罩使用频率、风险感知、社会距离行为、口罩佩戴行为对感知应激水平有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。结论本研究结果为制定针对高中生的公共卫生政策,培养正确的风险认知和保护行为提供了理论依据。
