Abstract

Objective: To investigate the knowledge awareness, self-protective behaviors of nursing students and their effects on SAS anxiety during the epidemic of COVID-19. Methods: Convenient sampling method was used to anonymously survey nursing students based on the questionnaire star network. The self-prepared general information questionnaire, knowledge of new coronavi-rus knowledge, self-protective behaviors and SAS anxiety scale were used for investigation. Results: A total of 362 nursing students were surveyed. The anxiety state detection rate was 14.09%. The SAS anxiety score was (33.64 ±  6.17), which was higher than the norm of anxiety symptoms in Chinese normal people (29.78 ± 10.07, n = 1158). It is statistically significant (P < 0.01). Knowledge awareness was positively correlated with self-preventive behaviors (r = 0.126, P < 0.05), knowledge awareness was negatively correlated with SAS anxiety (r = -0.196, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The anxiety of nursing students during the epidemic of COVID-19 is prominent, which has a close interactive relationship with the knowledge and self-protective behaviors. It is necessary to adopt a combination of online and offline epidemic knowledge popularization, supervise the implementation of self-protective behaviors of nursing students, timely conduct psychological counseling, strengthen the professional guidance of nursing students, and alleviate the negative emotions of nursing students.
