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

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. 【摘要】 目的 了解新型冠状病毒肺炎（以下简称“新冠肺炎”）疫情下医学生风险感知、应急准备及应急素养，为对医学 生进行有针对性的防控培训提供依据。 方法 采用便利抽样法，自行设计新冠肺炎风险感知、应急准备、应急素养调査问 卷，于2020年3月27—30日对从四川省西南医科大学护理学院附属医院卫校和广安职业技术学院2所大中专院校抽取 的4 864名医学生进行网络调査。 结果 医学生新冠肺炎风险感知、应急准备、医学生应急素养得分分别为（35.18±4.33) (28.30±4.16)和（25.23±2.97)分。医学生的风险感知与应急准备、应急素养之间均呈正相关 （r 值分别为0.35,0.40)，应急 准备与应急素养呈正相关 （r = 0.51) (P 值均<0.05)。 结论 医学生新冠肺炎风险感知、应急准备、应急素养三者之间存在 相互影响关系，应依据新冠肺炎调査问卷结果对医学生进行有针对性的防控培训。
