Despite an existing body of literature on anxiety reduction using multi-component methods, little is known about the effect of active student participation in research and communication of scientific information on anxiety and fear reduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of quality scientific information research and the production of informative videos on the preventive aspects of COVID-19 on fear and anxiety reduction.
A randomised controlled trial was conducted with 220 undergraduate nursing students in the first year of the nursing degree. The participating students were randomised into two groups. The experimental group carried out an intervention based on a database search for information on preventing COVID-19 and production of a video giving scientific reasons why prevention measures should be followed. In the control group, students created posters and videos about theoretical aspects of one module of the nursing degree. Both groups were surveyed before and after the intervention, measuring their state of resilience, preventive behaviours, level of anxiety, and fear of COVID-19.
The intervention group showed a greater decrease in fear levels after the intervention than those in the control group. There were no differences between the groups in terms of resilience, preventive behaviours, or anxiety. In the experimental group, there was a significant decrease in anxiety levels and fear levels after the intervention compared to the baseline levels.
An intervention based on active participation in searches for high-quality scientific information and production of information videos on COVID-19 prevention reduced fear and anxiety caused by COVID-19 among nursing students.

尽管已有大量关于使用多成分方法减轻焦虑的文献，但对于学生积极参与科学信息的研究和交流对减轻焦虑和恐惧的影响知之甚少。本研究的目的是评估高质量科学信息研究以及制作关于 COVID-19 预防方面的信息视频对减轻恐惧和焦虑的影响。
对 220 名护理学本科一年级学生进行了一项随机对照试验。参与的学生被随机分为两组。实验组基于数据库搜索关于预防 COVID-19 的信息并制作一个视频，阐述应遵循预防措施的科学原因来进行干预。在对照组中，学生制作关于护理学学位一个模块理论方面的海报和视频。两组在干预前后都接受了调查，测量他们的恢复力状态、预防行为、焦虑水平以及对 COVID-19 的恐惧程度。
干预后，实验组的恐惧水平下降幅度大于对照组。两组在恢复力、预防行为或焦虑方面没有差异。在实验组中，与基线水平相比，干预后焦虑水平和恐惧水平显著下降。
基于积极参与搜索高质量科学信息以及制作关于 COVID-19 预防的信息视频的干预措施，降低了护理专业学生因 COVID-19 引起的恐惧和焦虑。
我们已在开放科学框架中对该试验进行了回顾性注册，识别号为 https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/6QU5S 。
