The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the mental health of people around the world, and it increased the level of fear of infection and anxiety about the consequences of the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We examined the relationship between the level of anxiety among nursing students and their knowledge about COVID-19 vaccination. In addition, we explored the correlations among the level of anxiety, knowledge about vaccination, and the willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19. A total of 790 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study. The results demonstrated that the level of anxiety among the surveyed nursing students was low; 40% of the study participants did not report any anxiety at all, 30% reported mild anxiety, 20% reported moderate anxiety, and 9% reported severe anxiety. At the time of the study, 77.2% of the participants were already vaccinated against COVID-19. Student knowledge about vaccination against COVID-19 was high and anxiety levels were low, with no direct correlation between the knowledge of vaccination and the severity of anxiety.
新冠疫情对全球人民的心理健康产生了巨大影响，它增加了人们对感染的恐惧程度以及对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）病毒所致疾病后果的焦虑。我们研究了护理专业学生的焦虑水平与其对新冠疫苗接种知识之间的关系。此外，我们还探讨了焦虑水平、疫苗接种知识以及接种新冠疫苗意愿之间的相关性。共有790名护理学本科学生参与了该研究。结果表明，被调查的护理专业学生焦虑水平较低；40%的研究参与者完全没有焦虑情绪，30%报告有轻度焦虑，20%报告有中度焦虑，9%报告有重度焦虑。在研究时，77.2%的参与者已经接种了新冠疫苗。学生对新冠疫苗接种的知识水平较高且焦虑水平较低，疫苗接种知识与焦虑严重程度之间无直接关联。
