Pages

  249-254

Abstract

 Background: Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) began its journey around the world. Medical students, as frontline healthcare workers, are more susceptible to be infected by the virus. The aim of this study was to assess COVID-19 related Knowledge, self-reported preventive behaviors and Risk perception among Iranian Medical students within the first week after the onset of the outbreak in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 26th to 28th of February, 2020. Participants were Iranian Medical students (5th-7th year) whose Knowledge, preventive behaviors and Risk perceptions of COVID-19 were assessed using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 26 questions including 15 items about COVID-19 related Knowledge, 9 items regarding preventive measures and 2 items about COVID-19 Risk perception. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were shown to be satisfactory. Results: A total of 240 Medical students completed the questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 23. 67 years. The average of correct answers of Knowledge was 86. 96%; and 79. 60% had high level of related Knowledge. The average rate of practicing preventive behaviors was 94. 47%; and 94. 2% had high level of performance in preventive behaviors. The cumulative score of Risk perception was 4. 08 out of 8 which was in moderate range. Risk perception was significantly different between stagers and interns and between those being trained in emergency room (ER) and non-ER wards. There was a significant negative correlation between preventive behaviors and Risk perception. Conclusion: We found a high level of COVID-19 related Knowledge and self-reported preventive behaviors and moderate Risk perception among Iranian Medical students.
