In the context of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the extent of the damage in the worldwide population and health systems forced governments to find rapid and efficient countermeasures. Thus, global efforts are made to combat this disease and among the identified possible solutions to enforce the frontline workforce is to allow medical and nursing students to help in medical care. This survey proposes to assess the Romanian students' self-perceived preparedness, considering their theoretical and practical knowledge.
The survey was based on an 11-item form which aimed to evaluate the preparedness of the students to efficiently protect against the COVID-19 infection in a hospital setting, the overall willingness of the students to volunteer and the possible barriers that might prevent their involvement. For this purpose, a total number of 1021 responders, from which 18% nursing students and 82% medical students, from public and private medical schools of Romania, were included. Data processing was made using a free trial of GraphPad PRISM 8.0. The calculated parameters were: mean value, standard deviation, and confidence intervals (CI) and the level of significance was P<0.05.
Based on the collected data, we evidenced that the majority of the respondents (93%) acknowledged practical skills as a main positive factor for the decision to join the healthcare frontline. A strong, positive correlation between the self-perceived practical skills level, preparedness and the willingness to voluntarily involve in medical assistance was found.
A significantly high level of practical skills and preparedness level in self-protecting effectively against COVID-19 was mainly seen in the following subgroups: the nursing students and the students that had previously been part of organized medical volunteer structures, revealing the practical experience to be a determining factor of preparedness.
在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的背景下，全球人口和卫生系统所遭受破坏的程度迫使各国政府寻找迅速而有效的应对措施。因此，全球都在努力抗击这种疾病，而在已确定的可能解决方案中，加强一线工作人员力量的一种方法是允许医学和护理专业学生参与医疗护理工作。本调查旨在评估罗马尼亚学生基于其理论和实践知识的自我认知准备情况。
该调查基于一份包含11个条目的问卷，旨在评估学生在医院环境中有效预防COVID-19感染的准备情况、学生志愿服务的总体意愿以及可能阻碍他们参与的因素。为此，共纳入了1021名来自罗马尼亚公立和私立医学院校的受访者，其中18%为护理专业学生，82%为医学专业学生。数据处理使用了GraphPad PRISM 8.0的免费试用版。计算的参数包括：平均值、标准差和置信区间（CI），显著性水平为P<0.05。
根据收集到的数据，我们发现大多数受访者（93%）认可实践技能是决定加入医疗一线的主要积极因素。自我认知的实践技能水平、准备情况与自愿参与医疗援助的意愿之间存在强烈的正相关关系。
在以下亚组中，自我有效防护COVID-19的实践技能和准备水平显著较高：护理专业学生以及曾参与有组织医疗志愿者机构的学生，这表明实践经验是准备情况的决定性因素。
