COVID-19 is a threat to health worldwide. For nursing students, it affects the physical, mental, social, and family economy. This research aimed to study the relationship between perceived self-efficacy, preventive health behaviors in COVID-19, and quality of life among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study was descriptive research. The samples included 273 nursing students by simple random sampling. The data was collected using a questionnaire about perceived self-efficacy, preventive health behaviors, and quality of life. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression statistics.
The mean score of perceived self-efficacy and preventive health behaviors against COVID-19 were high (M = 71.47, . = 8.46; M = 69.10, .= 8.72; respectively). The mean score of quality of life was also high (M = 97.69, .=13.62). In addition, it was found that perceived self-efficacy and preventive health behaviors were significantly related to quality of life among nursing students ( < 0.001). Confirmation with binary logistic regression found that perceived self-efficacy and preventive health behaviors were significantly related to the quality of life (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.415.-5.85; OR = 3.39; 95% CI: 1.43-8.03; respectively) ( < 0.01). To clarify, the group with high perceived self-efficacy tended to have 2.87 times good quality of life than the group with low-moderate perceived self-efficacy. The group with high preventive health behaviors tended to have a 3.39 times good quality of life than the group with low-moderate preventive health behaviors.
Well-perceived self-efficacy and preventive health behaviors against COVID-19 among nursing students were related to good quality of life. Therefore, their perceived self-efficacy should be promoted to build their confidence in the adjustment of preventive behaviors to be safe from COVID-19. This will lead to good quality of life among nursing students.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）对全球健康构成威胁。对于护理专业学生而言，它会影响其身体、心理、社交及家庭经济状况。本研究旨在探讨COVID-19大流行期间护理专业学生的自我效能感、COVID-19预防健康行为与生活质量之间的关系。
本研究为描述性研究。通过简单随机抽样选取了273名护理专业学生作为样本。使用一份关于自我效能感、预防健康行为和生活质量的问卷收集数据。采用描述性统计、卡方检验和二元逻辑回归统计方法对数据进行分析。
护理专业学生针对COVID-19的自我效能感和预防健康行为的平均得分较高（分别为M = 71.47，.= 8.46；M = 69.10，.= 8.72）。生活质量的平均得分也较高（M = 97.69，.= 13.62）。此外，研究发现护理专业学生的自我效能感和预防健康行为与生活质量显著相关（< 0.001）。二元逻辑回归证实，自我效能感和预防健康行为与生活质量显著相关（OR = 2.87；95%置信区间：1.415.-5.85；OR = 3.39；95%置信区间：1.43 - 8.03；分别）（< 0.01）。具体而言，自我效能感高的组的生活质量往往是自我效能感低 - 中等组的2.87倍。预防健康行为高的组的生活质量往往是预防健康行为低 - 中等组的3.39倍。
护理专业学生对COVID-19良好的自我效能感和预防健康行为与良好的生活质量相关。因此，应提高他们的自我效能感，以增强他们调整预防行为以预防COVID-19的信心。这将使护理专业学生拥有良好的生活质量。
