Abstract

The present study attempted to identify how the knowledge and risk perception of nursing students regarding COVID-19 impact COVID-19 preventive behaviors. This study collected data from May 1st to September 20th, 2021, using a self-reported questionnaire targeting 184 nursing students. The collected data were analyzed using Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Multiple regression. The research results indicated that the knowledge(r=.15, p=.019) and risk perception(r=.13, p=.036) of nursing students regarding COVID-19 had a positive correlation with COVID-19 preventive behaviors. The factor that impacted the COVID-19 preventive behaviors of the subjects was COVID-19 knowledge, which had an explanatory power of 4%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an educational intervention program that enables nursing students to obtain the correct knowledge regarding COVID-19 and improves preventive behaviors.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 COVID-19에 대한 지식과 위험인식이 COVID-19 예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 간호학과 학생 184명을 대상으로 자가 보고 설문지를 이용하여 2021년 5월 1일부터 9월 20일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Multiple regression을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 간호대학생의 COVID-19에 대한 지식(r=.15, p=.019), 위험인식(r=.13, p=.036)은 COVID-19 예방행위와 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 COVID-19 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 COVID-19 지식이었으며 설명력은 4%였다. 따라서 간호대학생의 COVID-19에 올바른 지식을 습득하도록 하고 예방행위를 증진시키기 위한 교육중재 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
