目的和目标。本研究的目的是调查护理专业学生对中东呼吸综合征的相关知识、预防行为和风险认知，以探讨中东呼吸综合征爆发期间各变量之间的相关性。中东呼吸综合征是一种新型病毒性呼吸道疾病。在中东呼吸综合征爆发期间，在医院从事临床实习的护生可能接触过中东呼吸综合征感染。本研究为描述性横断面调查。参与者（n = 249）是护理专业的学生在他们的第三或第四年的计划谁从事临床实践，每天8小时，在三级医院与中东呼吸综合征患者。通过初步调查和效度检验，使用量表测量了与中东呼吸综合征相关的知识、预防行为和风险认知。受试者对中东呼吸综合征的知识水平为84.4%;他们的预防行为为44.5%;他们的风险感知评分为2.4分（满分5分）。中东呼吸综合征相关的风险感知根据性别和中东呼吸综合征教育有显著差异。中东呼吸综合征相关知识与预防行为和风险认知显着相关。结论。针对护生知识和预防行为得分偏低的现状，有必要对护生进行有效、系统的宣传教育。通过考虑医院和大学之间的合作来提高中东呼吸综合征相关知识，将提高护生对该疾病的风险认知，并有效地提高他们的预防行为。与其他新出现的传染病类似，中东呼吸综合征疫情可能在其他国家发生。本研究之结果可作为在中东呼吸症候群爆发期间，针对护生发展及应用有效且可行之中东呼吸症候群教育方案之参考。
Aims and objectives. The aim of this study was to survey nursing students' Middle East respiratory syndrome-related knowledge, preventive behaviours and risk perception to examine the correlations among the variables during a Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak.Background. Middle East respiratory syndrome is a new viral respiratory illness. Nursing students who engage in clinical practice at hospitals may have been exposed to Middle East respiratory syndrome infection during the Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreak.Design. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey.Methods. Participants (n = 249) were nursing students in their third or fourth year of the programme who were engaged in clinical practice for eight hours per day at the tertiary hospitals with Middle East respiratory syndrome patients. Knowledge, preventive behaviours and risk perception related to Middle East respiratory syndrome were measured using scales developed through a preliminary survey and validity testing.Results. The subjects' knowledge level of Middle East respiratory syndrome was 84.4%; their practice of preventive behaviours was rated at 44.5%; and their risk perception rating was 2.4 out of 5. Middle East respiratory syndrome-related risk perception was significantly different according to gender and Middle East respiratory syndrome education. Middle East respiratory syndrome-related knowledge was significantly correlated with preventive behaviours and risk perception.Conclusion. Considering the low scores for items regarding knowledge and preventive behaviours, it is necessary to develop effective and systematic publicity and education programmes for nursing students. Enhancing Middle East respiratory syndrome-related knowledge by considering cooperation between hospitals and universities will sharpen nursing students' risk perception of the disease and effectively increase their preventive behaviours.Relevance to clinical practice. Similar to other emerging infectious diseases, Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreaks may occur in other countries. The results of this study can be used to develop and apply efficient and feasible Middle East respiratory syndrome education programmes for nursing students during Middle East respiratory syndrome outbreaks.
