目的：本研究旨在描述疫情期间影响大学生志愿服务意愿的个人和家庭相关因素。本横断面研究是通过在线调查对沙特阿拉伯卡西姆大学的医科本科生进行的。患者和方法：通过各种信使组和社交媒体分发了一份预先验证的关于大流行期间志愿服务意愿的在线问卷。调查问卷包括两个部分，用于收集人口统计数据以及志愿者在不同情况下在大流行期间工作的可能性。这些参数的分布以分类变量的频率和比例报告。除了描述性分析之外，卡方检验还用于比较志愿服务的低可能性和高可能性之间的关键解释参数。数据分析使用IBM SPSS统计软件（版本25，Armonk， NY， USA）。结果：医本科生有较高的志愿服务意愿（60.7%）。然而，在性别、学年等基线参数上，差异无统计学意义。年龄（以年为单位）、婚姻状况、子女、老年受赡养人之间志愿可能性的高低差异（p < 0.05）。然而，统计上显著的差异表明，志愿者对一个人的生活安排的高概率和低概率的最佳描述(p
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe personal and family-related factors affecting undergraduate students' willingness to volunteer during the pandemic. This cross-sectional study was conducted on undergraduate medical students at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia through an online survey.PATIENTS AND METHODS: A pre-validated online questionnaire on willingness to volunteer during the pandemic was distributed through various messenger groups and social media. The questionnaire comprised two sections to collect demographics and how likely the volunteers work during the pandemic in different circumstances. The distribution of these parameters was reported by frequency and proportion for categorical variables. In addition to descriptive analytics, a chi-square test was used to compare key explanatory parameters between the low and high likelihood of volunteering. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS statistical software (version 25, Armonk, NY, USA).RESULTS: There was a high likelihood of willingness (60.7%) to volunteer among undergraduate medical students. However, there was no statistically significant difference in baseline parameters like gender, academic year. age (in years), marital status, children, and elderly dependents between the high and low likelihood of volunteer (p >0.05). However, a statistically significant difference indicated the best description of one's living arrangement between volunteers' high and low probability (p
