Covid-19 literacy, induced by the coronavirus disease (2019), is characterized as the understanding of Covid-19 as well as informed decisions based upon this understanding. This type of literacy is closely related to health literacy, scientific literacy, and scientific media literacy. It may be obvious to say that Covid-19 literacy is a key factor for governments to effectively manage the Covid-19 transition. However, lack of literature exists about Covid-19 literacy among university students. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the Covid-19 literacy level among 4168 students from a Colombian university. The data were derived from students’ responses to a 25–item anonymous online self-reporting questionnaire. We found that 21–25-year age group, graduate students, students enrolled prior to 2015, and medical students had a significantly higher mean score. Moreover, the Internet (86.8%) was the most popular source of information from which participants gained most information regarding Covid-19. Furthermore, 58.5% of the participants considered health workers as a source that can provide accurate information. Most importantly, the findings reveal the students’ knowledge about (1) the role of an eventual process of vaccination, (2) the test currently used as diagnostic for Covid-19, and (3) the fatality rate, three aspects of Covid-19 literacy that deserve more attention. The findings provide a useful basis for the formulation of policies and concrete actions in improving Covid-19 literacy.

迈向 Covid-19 扫盲

由冠状病毒病 (2019) 引起的 Covid-19 识字能力的特点是对 Covid-19 的理解以及基于这种理解的明智决策。这种素养与健康素养、科学素养和科学媒体素养密切相关。显而易见,Covid-19 素养是政府有效管理 Covid-19 过渡的关键因素。但是,缺乏关于大学生 Covid-19 识字率的文献。因此,当前的研究旨在确定来自哥伦比亚大学的 4168 名学生的 Covid-19 识字水平。数据来自学生对 25 项匿名在线自我报告问卷的回答。我们发现 21-25 岁年龄组、研究生、2015 年之前入学的学生,医学生的平均分明显更高。此外,互联网 (86.8%) 是最受欢迎的信息来源,参与者从中获得了有关 Covid-19 的最多信息。此外,58.5% 的参与者认为卫生工作者是可以提供准确信息的来源。最重要的是,研究结果揭示了学生对以下方面的了解:(1) 疫苗接种最终过程的作用,(2) 目前用作 Covid-19 诊断的测试,以及 (3) 死亡率,Covid-19 的三个方面-值得更多关注的19个素养。调查结果为制定提高 Covid-19 识字率的政策和具体行动提供了有用的基础。8%) 是最受欢迎的信息来源,参与者从中获得了有关 Covid-19 的最多信息。此外,58.5% 的参与者认为卫生工作者是可以提供准确信息的来源。最重要的是,研究结果揭示了学生对以下方面的了解:(1) 疫苗接种最终过程的作用,(2) 目前用作 Covid-19 诊断的测试,以及 (3) 死亡率,Covid-19 的三个方面-值得更多关注的19个素养。调查结果为制定提高 Covid-19 识字率的政策和具体行动提供了有用的基础。8%) 是最受欢迎的信息来源,参与者从中获得了有关 Covid-19 的最多信息。此外,58.5% 的参与者认为卫生工作者是可以提供准确信息的来源。最重要的是,研究结果揭示了学生对以下方面的了解:(1) 疫苗接种最终过程的作用,(2) 目前用作 Covid-19 诊断的测试,以及 (3) 死亡率,Covid-19 的三个方面-值得更多关注的19个素养。调查结果为制定提高 Covid-19 识字率的政策和具体行动提供了有用的基础。(2) 目前用作 Covid-19 诊断的测试,以及 (3) 死亡率,这是 Covid-19 识字的三个方面值得更多关注。调查结果为制定提高 Covid-19 识字率的政策和具体行动提供了有用的基础。(2) 目前用作 Covid-19 诊断的测试,以及 (3) 死亡率,这是 Covid-19 识字的三个方面值得更多关注。调查结果为制定提高 Covid-19 识字率的政策和具体行动提供了有用的基础。
