During the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), little was known about the knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) about COVID-19 and psychological status of college students in minority areas. This study aimed to evaluate the KAP of college students in minority areas of China toward COVID-19 and to provide a scientific basis for health education and policy formulation.
From October 28th to November 6th, 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 5,272 college students to examine KAP and its effects on mental health.
Regarding COVID-19 knowledge, the overall awareness rate was 24.11% (1,271). Regarding health attitudes, most students had positive attitudes about COVID-19 prevention and control (94.95%), and females had higher positive attitudes than males (OR: 1.920; CI: 1.494-2.469). Regarding preventive behaviors, more than half of the students took preventive measures (53.48%), and freshmen had the highest health behavior scores. In terms of psychological status, there were fewer females with depression and stress than males.
College students in minority areas have positive health attitudes; however, their knowledge of COVID-19 prevention and control is low. Moreover, their precautionary behaviors are insufficient, and they have many negative emotions.
在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）流行期间，人们对少数民族地区大学生对 COVID-19 的知识、态度、行为（KAP）和心理状况知之甚少。本研究旨在评估中国少数民族地区大学生对 COVID-19 的 KAP，为健康教育和政策制定提供科学依据。
2021 年 10 月 28 日至 11 月 6 日，采用横断面研究方法，对 5272 名大学生进行 KAP 及其对心理健康影响的调查。
在 COVID-19 知识方面，总体知晓率为 24.11%（1271 人）。在健康态度方面，大多数学生对 COVID-19 防控持积极态度（94.95%），女生比男生的积极态度更高（OR：1.920；CI：1.494-2.469）。在预防行为方面，超过一半的学生采取了预防措施（53.48%），且大一学生的健康行为得分最高。在心理状况方面，抑郁和压力的女性人数少于男性。
少数民族地区大学生健康态度积极，但对 COVID-19 防控知识的了解程度较低。此外，他们的预防行为不足，存在较多的负面情绪。
