Purpose: Little is known about the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on public health and preventive medicine students, particularly in resource-limited countries. This study evaluated stress level in this population in Vietnam and their coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2020 among 563 public health and preventive medicine students. A structured questionnaire included background information, the level of stress measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and coping strategies evaluated by the Brief COPE. To compare the PSS score and Brief COPE score among participants with different characteristics, two-sided t tests or ANOVA tests were used when appropriate.
Results: Most participants were females (71.4%), and the mean age was 21.6 years old (SD = 2.1). Almost all had moderate to high levels of knowledge, attitude and skill toward COVID-19 prevention and protection. The mean PSS score was 17.02 (SD 4.06), and more than 80% had a certain level of stress. The mean score of approach coping strategies was higher than avoidant coping strategies (2.74 and 1.84). Students with a high level of stress had a higher preference for avoidance coping strategies.
Conclusion: Although students reported relatively good knowledge, attitude and skill as well as the preference for adaptive coping strategies, they experienced a high level of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

越南公共卫生和预防医学专业学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间感受到的压力和应对策略

目的:人们对 COVID-19 大流行对公共卫生和预防医学学生的影响知之甚少,特别是在资源有限的国家。本研究评估了越南这一人群的压力水平及其在 COVID-19 大流行期间的应对策略。
患者和方法: 2020 年 4 月对 563 名公共卫生和预防医学专业的学生进行了一项横断面研究。结构化调查问卷包括背景信息、感知压力量表 (PSS) 测量的压力水平以及简短应对策略评估的应对策略。为了比较具有不同特征的参与者之间的PSS评分和Brief COPE评分,在适当的情况下使用双边t检验或ANOVA检验。
结果:大多数参与者为女性(71.4%),平均年龄为 21.6 岁(SD = 2.1)。几乎所有人都对 COVID-19 预防和保护具有中等到高水平的知识、态度和技能。PSS平均得分为17.02(SD 4.06),超过80%的人有一定程度的压力。接近应对策略的平均得分高于回避应对策略(2.74 和 1.84)。压力大的学生更倾向于回避应对策略。
结论:尽管学生们报告了相对较好的知识、态度和技能以及对适应性应对策略的偏好,但他们在 COVID-19 大流行期间经历了很高的压力。
