Awareness, risk perceptions, and academic performance toward COVID-19 among undergraduate nursing students

Background:  This research is carried out to assess awareness, risk perception, and academic performance toward COVID-19 among undergraduate nursing students Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the nursing college of Qassim University from 5 March to 20 April 2020. A self-administered online survey made available on particular social media was used for the study. This study had 190 students in total. Results: The findings revealed that the majority of students had good Knowledge of COVID, that 53.7% of them described high perceived academic performance, and the level of risk perception was 51.6% of the students reported moderate risk perception regarding COVID. Additionally, the high-knowledge student nurses displayed moderate academic performance (r =0.377, p=<0.001). Moreover, students with higher academic performance also showed lower risk perception (r= -0.216, p=0.003) Conclusion: Our research indicated that Saudi Arabia's future frontline healthcare workers, nursing students, demonstrated a high degree of understanding, risk perception, and academic achievement toward COVID-19. When employing suitable preventative measures to stop the spread of the disease, it is also crucial to update the student's Knowledge of the diagnosis and case treatment of COVID-19.
