Background and Objective: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has exerted great efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This research aims to scrutinize the outlook, awareness, and customs of Saudi undergraduate students regarding COVID-19.
Methods: The current cross-sectional study comprises 178 undergraduate students in the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences. The data were collected from online Google form questionnaires. The differences were picked out of the questionnaires, and the mean scores of the differences were duly assessed. The variables associated with knowledge, attitude, and practice toward COVID-19 were evaluated; moreover, a comparative study was conducted on these variables in different faculty departments. ANOVA, Student’s t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis were used to assess the data on knowledge, attitude, and practice.
Results: Most of the undergraduate students were well acquainted with COVID-19. We obtained the mean knowledge score for COVID-19 to be 3.08 ± .82 (range: 1– 5), indicating good knowledge. The attitude means the score was 3.02 ± .61 (range: 0– 4), implying good positive attitudes. On assessing the mean score of practices, it was found 5 ± .47 (range: 0– 7), pointing towards perfect practices. There were no significant differences between males and females regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward COVID-19 (p-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: Students of Applied Medical Sciences are knowledgeable about COVID-19. Health education programs should be focused on protection and safety from COVID-19 for Applied Medical Sciences students, especially Medical Rehabilitation Sciences and Radiology. Hand hygiene awareness programs must be conducted for undergraduate students. Infection control should be part of the undergraduate applied for medical sciences curriculum program.

Keywords: knowledge, attitude, practice, COVID-19, students

沙特阿拉伯王国艾卜哈哈立德国王大学应用医学学院本科生对 COVID-19 的知识、态度和实践评估:一项横断面调查研究

背景和目标:沙特阿拉伯王国为防止 COVID-19 的传播做出了巨大努力。本研究旨在审视沙特本科生对 COVID-19 的看法、意识和习俗。
方法:当前的横断面研究包括应用医学科学学院的 178 名本科生。数据是从在线谷歌表格问卷中收集的。从问卷中找出差异,并适当评估差异的平均分。评估了与对 COVID-19 的知识、态度和实践相关的变量;此外,还对不同院系的这些变量进行了比较研究。使用方差分析、学生t检验和二元逻辑回归分析来评估有关知识、态度和实践的数据。
结果:大多数本科生对 COVID-19 非常熟悉。我们获得的 COVID-19 知识平均得分为 3.08 ± .82(范围:1-5),表明知识良好。态度表示得分为 3.02 ± .61(范围:0–4),表示良好的积极态度。在评估练习的平均分时,结果为 5 ± .47(范围:0-7),接近完美练习。男性和女性对 COVID-19 的知识、态度和实践没有显着差异(p 值 < 0.05)。
结论:应用医学科学的学生了解 COVID-19。健康教育计划应侧重于应用医学科学学生,特别是医学康复科学和放射学学生免受 COVID-19 的保护和安全。必须为本科生开展手部卫生意识计划。感染控制应成为本科申请医学课程的一部分。
