Perception of risk of contagion by COVID-19 in nursing students
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2022, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The perception of a threatening event in the individual produces consequent behaviors in this one. A non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was carried out in a population of 263 nursing students at the National University of Chimborazo to describe the perception of hedges in the face of the risk of contagion by COVID-19. The data related to the variables of interest were obtained by applying the online adaptation of the COVID-19 risk perception survey, prepared by researchers from the European University. 95.44% of the participants were under 26 years of age and 49.05% were classified as having a medium level of risk of contagion from Covid-19. Among the students involved, those ones who said they felt fear being outside their homes and those ones who used a mask and practiced hand hygiene as protective measures to avoid contagion predominated.
