This study was conducted to identify factors affecting preventive health behaviors and to provide basic data for developing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention and education programs. The participants were 218 students enrolled in two nursing colleges located near Gyeongsang and Jeolla province, Republic of Korea. Data were collected in December 2020 and analyses were conducted using t- and Scheffé tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The factors affecting preventive health behaviors were fear of infection (β = 0.26, p < 0.001), perceived benefits of COVID-19 infection control (β = 0.20, p = 0.002), educational needs concerning COVID-19 infection control (β = 0.18, p = 0.004), and perceived barriers to COVID-19 infection control (β = 0.16, p = 0.011). To improve preventive health behaviors of nursing students against COVID-19, effective and practical education is required, and a systematic infection prevention education program should be developed considering the fear of COVID-19 infection and the perceived benefits and barriers in infection control.
本研究旨在确定影响预防保健行为的因素，并为制定 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）预防和教育计划提供基础数据。参与者为韩国庆尚和全罗两省附近两所护理学院的 218 名学生。数据于 2020 年 12 月收集，使用 SPSS/WIN 25.0 程序（IBM 公司，纽约州阿蒙克）进行 t 检验和 Scheffé 检验、方差分析、皮尔逊相关系数和逐步多元回归分析。影响预防保健行为的因素包括对感染的恐惧（β=0.26，p<0.001）、对 COVID-19 感染控制益处的认知（β=0.20，p=0.002）、对 COVID-19 感染控制教育的需求（β=0.18，p=0.004）和对 COVID-19 感染控制障碍的认知（β=0.16，p=0.011）。为了提高护理学生对 COVID-19 的预防保健行为，需要进行有效和实用的教育，并应考虑到对 COVID-19 感染的恐惧以及对感染控制的益处和障碍，制定系统的感染预防教育计划。
