Risk perception, emergency preparedness and emergency literacy among medical students under COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract

Objective To investigate risk perception, emergency preparedness and emergency literacy among medical students under COVID-19 epidemic.

Methods An online survey was conducted by using the self-designed COVID-19 questionnaire on risk perception, emergency preparedness and emergency literacy from March 27 to March 30, 2020. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 4 864 medical students from 2 colleges and technical secondary schools in Sichuan Province.

Results The scores of risk perception, emergency preparedness and emergency literacy associated with COVID-19 were (35.18±4.33) (28.30±4.16) and (25.23±2.97) respectively. Risk perception of medical students was positively correlated with emergency preparedness and emergency literacy ( r = 0. 35, 0. 40) , emergency preparedness was positively correlated with emergency literacy ( r = 0.51) ( P<0.05) .

Conclusion Considering interrelationships among risk perception, emergency preparedness and emergency literacy associated with COVID-19, medical students should be given targeted prevention and control training.
