本研究旨在评估中国大学生在COVID-19爆发期间对COVID-19的知识、态度和行为（KAP），并确定与KAP显著相关的决定因素。于2020年2月在中国进行了一项在线横断面问卷调查，以在“文卷行”在线平台上招募参与者。采用自制问卷评估员工对COVID-19的KAP。大学生COVID-19相关KAP平均得分分别为32.16 ± 4.09、16.84 ± 3.18和15.36 ± 1.83。COVID-19相关知识的平均正确回答率为84. 62%。94.59%的受访者认为中国能够控制和战胜疫情; 98.92%的受访者出门戴口罩。多元线性回归显示，女生的COVID-19相关知识得分高于男生（β = 0. 79，P = 0. 01），985或211高校的学生（β = − 2. 22，P <0. 01）与知识得分较高显著相关。此外，学生的COVID-19相关KAP得分之间存在显著正相关。大学生对COVID-19大流行有良好的KAP。本研究能够获得大学生在疫情期间与COVID-19相关的KAP，并发现他们在疫情预防方面的弱点。本研究结果为在大学生中实施精准健康教育提供了理论依据，也为疫情期间校园进行科学防控提供了参考。研究结果也为今后遏制类似重大突发公共卫生事件提供了有益经验。
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards COVID-19 of Chinese college students during the COVID-19 outbreak and identify the determinants considerably associated with KAP. An online cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in February 2020 in China to recruit participants on the Wen-Juan-Xing online platform. A self-made questionnaire was used to assess the KAP towards COVID-19. The average scores of COVID-19-related KAP among college students were 32.16 ± 4.09, 16.84 ± 3.18 and 15.36 ± 1.83, respectively. The average correct response rate of COVID-19-related knowledge was 84.62%. 94.59% of the respondents believed China could control and conquer the pandemic; 98.92% of the respondents wore a mask when they went out. The multiple linear regression showed that the female students had higher scores of COVID-19-related knowledge than male students (β = 0.79, P = 0.01), and the students from 985 or 211 universities (β = −2.22, P < 0.01) were significantly associated with higher knowledge scores. Furthermore, a significantly positive correlation was found between the scores of COVID-19-related KAP among students. The college students had a good KAP towards the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study was able to access the COVID-19-related KAP among college students during the pandemic and identify their weaknesses in pandemic prevention. Consequently, the results of this study provide theoretical basis for implementing precision health education among college students and reference for campuses to conduct scientific prevention and control during a pandemic. Results also provide beneficial experience to curb similar major public health emergencies in the future.
