Nursing educators should equip nursing students with sufficient knowledge about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.The purpose of this study was to use the health belief model to elucidate nursing students' relationships between knowledge about COVID-19, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention.A cross-sectional survey design was adopted and purposive sampling was utilized. A total of 361 nursing students participated in the study. Quantitative analysis was employed for all data analysis.The findings showed that the nursing students had the following mean scores on knowledge of COVID-19 9.43 [standard deviation (SD)1.19], perceived susceptibility 19.41 (SD2.68), perceived severity 20.31 (SD 4.09), perceived benefits 26.52 (SD 4.08), perceived barriers 15.17 (SD5.88), cues to action 3.30 (SD1.70), self-efficacy 17.68 (SD2.83), and behavioral intention 18.46 (SD2.33). Nursing students' demographic background, knowledge of COVID-19, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy explained 58.1% of the variance in behavioral intention (R2 = 0.581, F = 29.775, P < .001).Nursing educators can increase nursing students' knowledge of COVID-19, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy as effective means of health promotion to improve their behavioral intention to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
护理教育者应该使护理学生充分了解 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）、感知易感性、感知严重性、感知益处、感知障碍、行动提示、自我效能和行为意向，以防止 COVID-19 的传播。本研究旨在利用健康信念模型阐明护理学生对 COVID-19 知识、感知易感性、感知严重性、感知益处、感知障碍、行动提示、自我效能和行为意向之间的关系。采用横断面调查设计和目的抽样法。共有 361 名护理学生参与了研究。所有数据分析均采用定量分析。研究结果显示，护理学生对 COVID-19 的知识得分为 9.43（标准差 1.19），感知易感性为 19.41（标准差 2.68），感知严重性为 20.31（标准差 4.09），感知益处为 26.52（标准差 4.08），感知障碍为 15.17（标准差 5.88），行动提示为 3.30（标准差 1.70），自我效能为 17.68（标准差 2.83），行为意向为 18.46（标准差 2.33）。护理学生的人口统计学背景、COVID-19 知识、感知易感性、感知严重性、感知益处、感知障碍、行动提示和自我效能可以解释行为意向变化的 58.1%（R2=0.581，F=29.775，P<.001）。护理教育者可以通过提高护理学生对 COVID-19 的知识、感知易感性、感知严重性、感知益处、感知障碍、行动提示和自我效能，作为促进健康的有效手段，提高他们预防 COVID-19 传播的行为意向。
