Pages

  1-10

Abstract

 Background: Assessing the undergraduate Medical students’ knowledge regarding COVID-19 to determine any gaps in their learning and any misinformation is essential. This study aimed to access the Awareness regarding COVID-19 and related myths among undergraduate Medical students. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on undergraduate Medical students in a tertiary healthcare teaching institute in a district of central Uttar Pradesh. Unpaired t-test and one-way ANOVA were applied to determine any differences among the mean scores of Awareness and myths among gender and batch years. We used boxplots to represent the overall and section-wise correct percentages. Results: Out of the total 800 students, 494 (61. 7%) participated in the study. Most of the participants were first-year MBBS students, 158 (32. 0%), and were males (280, 56. 7%). The average performance regarding the Awareness and myth related to COVID-19 was satisfactory, with a 72. 5% overall correct mean score. According to modified Bloom’ s cut-off, 406 (82. 2%) students performed moderately, followed by 81 (16. 4%) students who performed good, and seven (1. 4%) performed poorly. Although the majority 489 (99. 0%) knew the correct taxonomy of the virus causing COVID-19, 60. 0% and 43. 0% had difficulty defining the SARS-CoV-2 virus and close contacts, respectively. There was a drastic variation in response to the physical distancing criteria, with only 71 (14. 4 %) answered correctly. Conclusions: As the guidelines regarding COVID-19 are dynamic, there is a need for regular training of undergraduate Medical students, focusing on infection control and prevention to keep them updated with the latest and upcoming guidelines.
