BACKGROUND This study was examined to identify the relationship among knowledge, attitude, and compliance with preventive behavior on COVID-19 by students of a Pharmacy College.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to determine the knowledge level, attitude, and risk perception of the students of the pharmacy college regarding the prevention of COVID-19 infection, and to understand how these factors affect the performance of preventive actions.
METHODS A structured survey was used. Survey questionnaire included knowledge (6 items), attitude (8 items), and risk
awarness (1 item), and preventive action performance (10 items) of pharmacy students.
RESULTS 92 out of 143 students of Pharmacy College, Inje University participated, and the response rate was 62.3%. The performance of preventive actions against COVID-19 showed that the higher the knowledge level of COVID-19, the more important the attitude toward the COVID-19 code of conduct, and the higher the perception of the risk of being infected with COVID-19. Among them, prevention behavior performance was found to have a higher correlation with knowledge order.
CONCLUSION When creating an educational program for pharmaceutical students on COVID-19, it is judged that it would be good to organize activities that not only transmit knowledge about COVID-19, but also instill the importance of rules of conduct and raise risk perception.
