Abstract

This study conducted a survey using Google on 282 college students to investigate college students' awareness of COVID-19, which has been converted into a class 4 infectious disease. As a result, the average level of interest in COVID-19 information was 2.85, and the average level of interest in COVID-19 information was 2.85. 54% did not know that the level had changed, showing that interest in COVID-19 was not high. In terms of personal hygiene attitude, the average of those who are not currently wearing a mask was 3.95, but the average of those who wear a mask when necessary was 3.94, washing hands for more than 30 seconds, washing hands frequently, and coughing etiquette were observed well. Additionally, awareness of infection was observed by others. Rather, they thought of their symptoms as connected to COVID-19 and were still conscious of COVID-19 infection (average 3.85). Additionally, COVID-19 was recognized as a threatening infectious disease that could cause a resurgence and repeat a pandemic. Since the crisis stage regarding COVID-19 can change at any time in the WithCorona era, this study sought to provide basic data for successful response to future crises by investigating trends in changes in people's perceptions.

본 연구는 제4급감염병으로 전환된 코로나19에 대한 대학생의 인식을 조사하기 위해 282명의 대학생을 대상으로 구글을 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다, 그 결과 코로나19 정보에 대한 관심도은 평균 2.85였으며, 제4급으로 전환된 사실을 몰랐다가 54%로 코로나19에 대한 관심이 높지 않음을 보여주었다. 개인위생태도에서 현재 마스크를 착용하지 않는 경우가 평균 3.95였으나 필요시에는 마스크를 착용한다가 평균 3.94였고, 30초 이상 손씻기, 평상시 자주 손씻기, 기침예절은 잘 지키고 있었다, 또한 감염에 대한 인식은 타인보다는 본인의 증상을 코로나19와 연결하여 생각하였으며 여전히 코로나 19 감염을 의식하고 있었다(평균 3.85). 또한 코로나19는 재유행과 팬더믹을 반복할 수 있는 위협적인 감염병으로 인식하고 있었다. 본 연구는 위드코로나 시대에서 코로나19에 대한 위기단계는 언제든지 변화할 수 있기 때문에 사람들의 인식 변화 추이를 조사함으로써 향후 성공적인 위기 대응을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
