摘要

目的:本文旨在评估新冠肺炎在卢旺达学生中的知识、认知和心理健康影响。设计/方法/方法:本文是一份横断面的在线调查问卷。调查结果:375名受访者的平均知识得分为75.14%(SD±19.1),其中195名(55.1%)受访者的得分低于80%。认为新冠肺炎教育足够的学生更有可能具有较低的知识水平(OR=1.84,95%CI=1.15;2.94)。虽然大多数受访者意识到自己容易感染病毒,但他们并不认为自己有感染的风险。报告有某种形式的心理健康问题的受访者比例为49.7%。影响心理健康的三个最重要因素是年龄、心理健康问题史和新闻报道方式。接受在线教育的人的教育质量受到的影响较小(OR=0.55,95%CI=0.33,0.94)。实际影响:应利用现有的在线和离线学习平台,经常更新新的或不断变化的信息,加强有关新冠肺炎的教育。原创/价值:这篇论文是第一篇评估新冠肺炎对卢旺达学生的知识、认知和心理健康影响的研究。©2021,翡翠出版有限公司。

Assessing the knowledge, perceptions, and mental health impact of COVID-19 among students in Rwanda
Purpose: This paper aims to assess the knowledge, perceptions and mental health impact of COVID-19 among students in Rwanda. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is a cross-sectional online survey questionnaire. Findings: The mean knowledge score among the 375 respondents was 75.14% (SD ± 19.1), with 195 (55.1%) of the respondents scoring below 80%. Students who believed that COVID-19 education was sufficient were more likely to have lower knowledge levels (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.15;2.94). While most respondents were aware of their vulnerability to the virus, they did not see themselves at risk of becoming infected. The percentage of respondents reported to have some form of mental health issues was 49.7%. The three most important factors in influencing mental health were age, history of mental health issues, and the way news was reported. Education quality was less affected for those who received online schooling (OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.33, 0.94). Practical implications: Education about COVID-19 should be strengthened by capitalizing on existing online and offline learning platforms to frequently update new or changing information. Originality/value: This paper was the first study assessing the knowledge, perception and mental health impact of COVID-19 among Rwanda students. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.
