背景：冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行是一种国际公共卫生威胁。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯医学生和实习生的新冠肺炎相关知识、预防行为和风险认知。材料与方法：本横断面研究于2020年6月至8月在沙特阿拉伯卡西姆地区三所医学院的四年级和五年级医学生和实习生中进行。一份先前经过验证的问卷作为在线调查分发。结果：总平均知识得分为12.5/15分；83.9%的学生获得高分。自我报告的预防行为平均得分为8.40分；94.1%的学生获得高分。总体平均风险感知得分为5.34/8分；31.6%的学生获得高分。结论：本研究受访医学生对新冠肺炎大流行的认知和预防行为较为充分，风险认知水平中等。较年轻的医学生得分较低，这表明他们必须提高对COVID-19的知识和风险认知，因为他们是所在社区健康信息的潜在来源。
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is an international public health threat. This study aimed to evaluate COVID-19-related knowledge, preventive behaviors, and risk perception among Saudi Arabian medical students and interns. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among fourth- and fifth-year medical students and interns between June and August 2020 at three colleges of medicine in Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. A previously validated questionnaire was distributed as an online survey. Results: The total mean knowledge score was 12.5/15 points; 83.9% achieved a high score. The mean score of self-reported preventive behavior was 8.40; 94.1% achieved a high score. The overall mean risk perception score was 5.34/8 points; 31.6% achieved a high score. Conclusion: Medical students assessed in this study displayed sufficient knowledge and preventive behaviors regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and an average level of risk perception. Lower scores by younger medical students suggest that they must improve their COVID-19 knowledge and risk perception, as they are a potential source of health information in their communities.
