The high number of cases of COVID-19 has caused an increase in workload and a shortage of medical personnel in various countries, so volunteers are needed, such as health students. However, becoming a volunteer during a pandemic is influenced by motivational factors and barriers.
This study aims to identify the motivations and barriers of health students as COVID-19 volunteers.
This study uses a systematic scoping review. A literature review was conducted using CINAHL, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The study was eligible for inclusion if it included articles published from 2020 to 2022, full-text, and primary studies. Studies were excluded if they were not in English. The keywords used in English were "health students OR nursing students OR medical students" AND "motivation OR willingness" AND "Barriers" AND "volunteer OR volunteering OR volunteerism OR voluntary" AND "COVID-19 OR covid-19 OR SARS-CoV-2 OR COVID-19 pandemic". Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) appraisal tool.
We found 12 articles showing motivational factors and barriers among health students volunteering to control COVID-19. Motivational factors include domain values, understanding, enhancement, career, incentive, government, social, and demographics. In contrast, barriers include fear, lack of training and knowledge, PPE shortage, unpreparedness and role uncertainty, and lack of interest, support, and protection.
Our findings highlight that eight motivational factors and seven barriers influence health students' involvement in COVID-19 volunteering. However, to optimize the potential of health students, further preparation is essential to ensure that students can volunteer effectively, such as integrating volunteer training programs into the curriculum in preparation for future pandemic mitigation.
新冠疫情病例数量众多，导致各国工作量增加且医务人员短缺，因此需要志愿者，比如卫生专业学生。然而，在疫情期间成为志愿者会受到动机因素和障碍的影响。
本研究旨在确定卫生专业学生作为新冠疫情志愿者的动机和障碍。
本研究采用系统综述。使用CINAHL、PubMed和ScienceDirect数据库进行文献综述。如果文章发表于2020年至2022年、为全文且是原发性研究，则符合纳入标准。非英文研究予以排除。英文关键词为“卫生专业学生或护理专业学生或医学专业学生”以及“动机或意愿”以及“障碍”以及“志愿者或志愿活动或志愿服务或自愿”以及“新冠疫情或2019冠状病毒病或严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2或新冠大流行”。使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）评估工具评估研究质量。
我们发现12篇文章展示了参与新冠疫情防控志愿活动的卫生专业学生的动机因素和障碍。动机因素包括领域价值观、理解、提升、职业、激励、政府、社会和人口统计学因素。相比之下，障碍包括恐惧、缺乏培训和知识、个人防护装备短缺、准备不足和角色不确定性，以及缺乏兴趣、支持和保护。
我们的研究结果表明，八个动机因素和七个障碍影响卫生专业学生参与新冠疫情志愿活动。然而，为了优化卫生专业学生的潜力，进一步的准备至关重要，以确保学生能够有效地参与志愿活动，比如将志愿者培训项目纳入课程，为未来的疫情缓解做准备。
