This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the practice of COVID-19 prevention behaviors among college students as future medical workers. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in September 2021. A total of 526 health college students were included in this study. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed to examine the effect on the practice of COVID-19 prevention behavior. As a result of the analysis, experiences of education on infectious diseases had significant positive effects on the practice of prevention behavior (β = 0.22, < 0.001). Additionally, a higher COVID-19 health belief had a significant positive effect on the practice of prevention behavior (β = 0.15, = 0.004). Increased smoking and drinking among lifestyle changes after COVID-19 had significant negative effects on the practice of prevention behavior compared with decreased physical activity (β = -0.12, = 0.007). Based on these findings, the study discussed the importance of education on the prevention of infectious diseases among health college students, promotion of health beliefs related to infectious diseases, and formation of healthy lifestyle habits in daily life.
本研究旨在确定影响未来医学工作者大学生 COVID-19 预防行为实践的因素。2021 年 9 月进行了一项横断面在线调查。共纳入 526 名卫生专业大学生。采用分层回归分析检验对 COVID-19 预防行为实践的影响。分析结果表明，传染病教育经历对预防行为实践有显著的正向影响（β=0.22， < 0.001）。此外，较高的 COVID-19 健康信念对预防行为实践有显著的正向影响（β=0.15， = 0.004）。与体力活动减少相比，COVID-19 后生活方式变化中的吸烟和饮酒增加对预防行为实践有显著的负向影响（β=-0.12， = 0.007）。基于这些发现，本研究讨论了在卫生专业大学生中开展传染病预防教育、促进与传染病相关的健康信念以及在日常生活中形成健康生活习惯的重要性。
