Abstract: (99 Views)
Introduction: Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has started worldwide since December 2019. Medical students, as front-line health care staff, are at high risk for coronavirus and mental disorders caused by it. In pandemic conditions, higher education institutions are asked to develop management approaches regarding epidemics and encourage positive health behaviors among students. Therefore, according to this issue, examining the knowledge, attitude, anxiety and adaptation strategies of Aja University of Medical
Sciences students during the Covid-19 epidemic can be helpful to increase the adaptation strategies and management of students’ performance in pandemic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, anxiety, and adaptation strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in students of AJA University of Medical Sciences.
Methods and Materials: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was performed by available sampling method on 295 students of Aja University of Medical Sciences in 2021. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire including two sections of demographic information and related questions in 44 items. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: A total of 295 students from different fields of medicine filled the questionnaire. 98.27% of the participants were in the age group of 18 to 25 years and 92.54% of them were men. Their level of knowledge was estimated to be optimal (positive answer>70%). The anxiety level of students has not been too high. The students’ response about adaptation strategies was shown to be above 70% in all questions. Moreover, there was not any significant relationship between demographic characteristics (gender, age, and field of study) with any of the variables of knowledge, attitude, anxiety, and adaptation strategies.
Discussion and Conclusion: A high level of knowledge and adaptation strategies with Covid-19 anxiety was indicated among medical students, which may be due to appropriate educational programs to promote a safer lifestyle and prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
