Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, este ensaio reflete sobre a importância de uma postura, reflexão e ação responsáveis da igreja luterana em meio à pandemia do COVID-19, diante de posturas religiosas que, irresponsavelmente, negam a seriedade da situação e descartam resultados de pesquisas científicas e as recomendações de comportamento delas decorrentes. Recorrendo a Viktor Frankl e Martin Lutero, discorre sobre a tentação de Deus implicada nestas posturas, já presentes na época da Reforma protestante, e defende, com Dietrich Bonhoeffer, que o lugar da igreja é no centro da realidade, em diálogo, solidariedade e cuidado. Enquanto precisam fechar as portas dos tempos, não devem fechar-se à sua missão.AbstractBased on bibliographical and documentary research, this essay reflects on the importance of a responsible attitude, reflection and action of the Lutheran church in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, confronting religious attitudes that, irresponsibly, deny the seriousness of the situation and dismiss results of scientific research and the recommendations for adequate behaviour stemming from them. With reference to Viktor Frankl and Martin Luther, the article promotes a discourse on tempting God implied in such attitudes, already present during the Protestant Reformation, and defends, with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, that the church’s place is in the centre of reality, in dialogue, solidarity and care. While churches need to close their temple’s doors, they must not retreat from their mission.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic may cause a nursing shortage. Prelicensure nursing students who are exposed to high-stress COVID-19 events are related to defective career decision-making. This study validated the COVID-19 attitude scale and clarified how their attitudes about COVID-19 affected their behavioral intentions toward career decision-making. We conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited a convenience sample of 362 prelicensure nursing students from Northern and Central Taiwan. Two measurements were applied, including the Nursing Students Career Decision-making instrument and COVID-19 attitude scale. We used AMOS (version 22.0) to perform a confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach α of the COVID-19 attitude scale was 0.74 and consisted of four factors. The most positive attitude was the nursing belief factor, and the least positive factor was emotional burden. Prelicensure nursing students’ COVID-19 attitudes were significantly positively associated with their career decision-making attitudes and perceived control (ß = 0.41 and ß = 0.40, respectively; p < 0.001). All the key latent variables explained significantly 23% of the variance in the career decision-making behavioral intentions module. In conclusion, the COVID-19 attitude scale is valid. Although the prelicensure nursing students’ COVID-19 attitudes had no direct effect on career decision-making intentions, they had a direct effect on career decision-making attitudes and the perceived control.

Objective: It was aimed to evaluate COVID-19 disease perceptions, reasons for getting vaccinated, and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccine of individuals who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Methods: In our cross-sectional, descriptive study, people who came to Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital Vaccine Polyclinic between 01.02.2022 and 31.03.2022 and had COVID-19 vaccine were included in our study. Individuals under the age of 18, healthcare workers, people with active mental illness and those who could not communicate verbally were excluded from the study. Results: Of the personnel participating in our study, 282 (47.9%) were male and 307 (52.1%) were female.The results of the Scale of Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccination, age, gender, education status, reasons for vaccination, next COVID-19 vaccination a statistically significant relationship was found between the variables of thinking about getting the vaccine and thinking that they have enough information about the COVID-19 vaccine (p=0.044, p=0.001, p=0.021, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001). With the COVID-19 disease perception scale, education status, getting influenza vaccination, thinking about getting the next COVID-19 vaccine, thinking that they have enough information about the COVID-19 vaccine, There was a significant difference in the reasons for being vaccinated (p=0.021, p=0,031, p=0.015, p=0.017, p<0.001). A statistically significant relationship was found between the Attitudes towards the COVID-19 Vaccine Scale and the COVID-19 disease perception scale (p<0.001). Conclusion: As a result of our study, we found that individuals who vaccinated on a voluntary basis had positive COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and higher perceptions of COVID-19 contagion. In addition, we have shown that the attitude towards the vaccine and the perception of the disease affect the desire to have the next dose of vaccination. We think that the reasons for the negative attitude towards the vaccine and the inadequacy in the perception of the disease in the society should be determined and the necessary training should be given.

Full textAbstract:
Aims This study surveyed people regarding their acceptance of periodic doses (i.e., annual boosters) of the COVID-19 vaccine. Moreover, factors that correlate with attitudes toward periodic COVID-19 vaccines were assessed and identified. Method The study employed a cross-sectional methodology. The study questionnaire was distributed using Google Forms. Data were collected during the last quarter of 2021, and 1,416 adults (18 years old and over) from Jordan responded. Acceptance of COVID-19 periodic vaccine doses was calculated as a percentage of the total number of study participants, and their attitudes were scored. A multiple regression model was used to determine the predictors of public attitudes toward the annual dose of COVID-19 vaccines. Results The acceptance rate for receiving periodic doses of the COVID-19 vaccine was low (19.3%). Additionally, 26% of participants were unsure about receiving additional doses of the vaccine. However, 54.7% had a negative attitude toward getting periodic doses. The mean score for attitudes toward periodic doses was 47.9 (range: 29–66). Among the identified factors leading to decisions not to receive periodic doses were side effects (49.1%), waiting for further clinical studies (38.8%), and perceived no risk of contracting COVID-19 (17.7%). Regression analysis showed that income, educational attainment, and following the news about COVID-19 were predictors of participants’ attitudes toward the periodic COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion Acceptance of periodic doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in Jordan is low, and the public’s attitude is generally negative. Health programs and educational interventions are needed to promote vaccine acceptance and positive attitudes.

Background: Since the discovery of Covid-19, scientific developments, policies, and programs regarding Covid-19 have changed rapidly. In 2022 the Covid-19 vaccine arrived at the second booster. In Indonesia, various policies related to Covid-19 are also experiencing very rapid adjustments, such as the policy for travelling using public transportation, planes, trains, and ships that require the completeness of the Covid-19 vaccine up to boosters. These regulations make the Covid-19 vaccination a necessity that seems forced. Pregnant and postpartum women are also not free from the target of giving Covid-19. Various theories and research have proven that knowledge is related to attitude. Following this theory, knowledge and attitudes will align with the completeness of Covid-19. So if positive knowledge and attitudes affect the completeness of the Covid-19 vaccine, then it will not be affected by the Covid-19 vaccination obligation policy required by the Indonesian government.Purpose: To find out the relationship between Knowledge and attitude of accepting COVID-19 vaccine booster doses and third doses among postpartum women in Palembang, IndonesiaMethod: This study was quantitative. The design was analytical with a cross-sectional approach. The study samples consisted of 38 postpartum mothers in Independent Practice Midwife at Palembang. The complications of postpartum mothers were excluded. The sampling technique was accidental sampling.Results: There is no relationship between knowledge and accepting COVID-19 vaccine booster doses and third doses (p=0.348), but in the analysis, there is a relationship between attitude towards vaccination readiness and accepting COVID-19 (p=0.003), there is a relationship between attitude towards government policy and completeness of vaccination Covid-19 (p=0.004), there is a relationship between attitudes towards vaccines and accepting COVID-19 (p=0.015)Conclusion: There is no relationship between knowledge and accepting COVID-19, and there is a relationship between attitude and accepting COVID-19

Full textAbstract:
The epidemic control approach was based on non-pharmacological measures in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by vaccine uptake in the second year. Vaccine uptake depends on the individual attitude toward vaccination. The aim was to assess the changes in attitudes regarding COVID-19 vaccine protection during the pandemic and to determine the vaccination uptake concerning these attitudes. A panel study on COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and vaccination against COVID-19 was conducted in Belgrade, Serbia. The first survey was carried out in May–June 2020, and the second survey was organized in August–September 2021. During the baseline testing performed in 2020, 64.4% of respondents believed that the future vaccine against COVID-19 could protect against the COVID-19 disease, while 9.7% thought that it could not, and 25.9% were unsure. One year later, in the second survey, the percentage of participants with positive attitudes was slightly lower (64.7% vs. 62.5%). However, negative attitudes turned positive in 34% of cases, and 28.9% became unsure about vaccine protection (p < 0.001). Out of the 390 participants included in the study, 79.7% were vaccinated against COVID-19 until follow-up. There is a statistically significant difference in vaccination uptake compared to the baseline attitude about the protection of the COVID-19 vaccine. The main finding of our study is that the majority of participants who were vaccine hesitant during the baseline testing changed their opinion during the follow-up period. Additionally, the baseline attitude about the protection of the COVID-19 vaccine has been shown to be a potential determinant of vaccination uptake.

The goal of this study was to investigate changes in parental attitudes and family variables during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey methodology was employed to collect the data; the questionnaires included a family information form prepared by the researchers and the “Parental Attitude Research Instrument” (PARI), used to examine changes in parental attitudes related to the pandemic. The initial data, collected immediately before the outbreak of COVID-19, were compared with data gathered in May 2020, by which time the pandemic had already spread throughout Turkey. The research sample included 119 mothers with preschool children aged 5—6 years enrolled in four public schools. Our findings indicated that changes in family life and parental attitudes occurred during the pandemic. While scores measuring the two PARI subscales of dependency and egalitarianism and democratic attitudes increased, the scores for rejection of the homemaking role and strictness and authoritarianism decreased. According to the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) results, there was a statistically significant difference between the time measurements (taken before and during the pandemic) with respect to the combined dependent variables of egalitarianism and democratic attitudes and strictness and authoritarianism, even after controlling for the demographic variables.

Objective: It was carried out to determine the attitudes of pregnant women toward the Covid-19 vaccine and related factors. Methods: The correlational and descriptive study was conducted with 356 pregnant women. In the study, data were collected using an introductory questionnaire, "Attitudes towards Covid-19 Vaccine Scale", "Vaccination Hesitancy in Pandemics Scale", and "Covid-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale". Research data were analyzed with SPSS 25 package program. One-way ANOVA and Student-t test were used to determine the difference between the descriptive characteristics of the pregnant women participating in the study and the total and sub-dimension mean scores of the Attitude Scale towards the Covid-19 Vaccine. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale in Pandemics, the Covid-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale, and the Attitudes Towards Covid-19 Vaccine Scale. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the Attitudes of Pregnants towards the Covid-19 Vaccine. Results: It was concluded that 37.4% of the pregnant women did not have any Covid-19 vaccine, 62.6% had the Covid-19 vaccine before pregnancy, and 22.5% had the vaccine during pregnancy. In pregnant women, those who have hesitations about the vaccine in cases such as working, increase in education level, fear of contracting Covid-19 before birth, having pre-pregnancy Covid-19 vaccine, thinking that pregnant women may have Covid-19 vaccine, getting Covid-19 vaccine during pregnancy, etc. increase their attitudes towards vaccination. Conclusion: Consider to change the conclusion: It was found that quite a few pregnant women received the Covid-19 vaccine during their pregnancy. Pregnant women's vaccination hesitancy influences their attitudes toward Covid-19.

Full textAbstract:
Linking local COVID-19 and population statistics to a U.S.-based survey we recently conducted, we examine the spatial variation in the impact of COVID-19 on Americans’ attitudes toward China. The research strategy capitalizes on differential local COVID-19 incidence rates as varying dosages of COVID-19 impact across local contexts in the United States. Our results reveal negative yet heterogeneous effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Americans’ attitudes toward China. We find that greater local exposure to COVID-19 is associated with a lower level of trust in Chinese and a less favorable attitude toward China. These findings lend consistent support to behavioral immune system theory by bridging the literature on contextual variations in public attitudes, with broader implications for U.S.-China relations.

The role of medical personnel in promoting vaccination and pro-health attitudes seems to be of key importance for protection against COVID-19. The aim of the study was to assess the attitudes of health care workers and students of medical faculties towards preventive vaccinations against COVID-19. A cross-sectional online self-administered survey was conducted among 497 people. The questions concerned attitudes towards vaccination as well as concerns about the side effects of the vaccine and contracting COVID-19. A positive attitude to vaccination was observed in 82% of the respondents. More than 54% respondents were concerned about side effects after COVID-19 vaccination. Medical students under 26 years had a more positive attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination, twice as high as among health care workers OR (95%Cl): 2.20 (1.03–4.66) vs. 4.06 (2.54–6.48), respectively. Students were more concerned than nurses about adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccine 3.8 (3.2–4.1) vs. 3.0 (2.7–3.5) and contracting the virus (1.7 (1.2–2.5) vs. 1.2 (1.0–2.0). Medical students had a more positive attitude toward vaccination than nursing students 4.2 (3.9–4.3) vs. 3.7 (3.3–4.3). In conclusion, predictors of positive attitudes toward vaccination were medical student status and young age.

Purpose of the research is to evaluate the attitudes, hesitancy and confidence of healthcare professionals towards COVID-19 vaccines during the second peak period of the COVID-19 epidemic in Turkey, and to determine the mediating role of vaccine confidence in the effect of their attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines on hesitancy. A hospital-based cross-sectional research design was used in the study. The population of the research consisted of the health workers of three different training and research hospitals operating in Istanbul. Convenience sampling method was preferred in the study. The data were collected by the researchers themselves using the online survey technique. A total of 440 questionnaires were evaluated. The data were analyzed with SPSS and AMOS package programs. The findings of the study revealed that nearly two-thirds of the participants had a positive attitude towards potential COVID-19 vaccines, partially having higher confidence and less hesitation. In addition, the empirical result of the study revealed that positive attitudes towards potential COVID-19 vaccines reduce vaccine hesitancy. In addition, it has been found that vaccine trust has a significant indirect effect and partially mediates the relationship between attitude towards potential COVID-19 vaccines and hesitancy. This research revealed that positive attitudes towards potential COVID-19 vaccines reduce vaccine hesitations through high vaccine confidence. Thus, increased positive attitudes towards potential COVID-19 vaccines and increased vaccine confidence were significantly associated with decreased vaccine hesitancy.

A positive attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine and increased vaccination uptake made the institutions behind these efforts realize their goal of creating an immune community. This research would provide crucial information on how the government can establish a desirable attitude of people toward COVID-19 vaccines through their responses to the adversities of the pandemic. This study assessed government preventive influence measures 'perceived effectiveness on the citizens' attitudes and acceptance toward the COVID-19 vaccines. The researchers used descriptive-correlational quantitative design and simple regression analysis as research methods. The study was conducted in the City of Panabo, with 384 samples chosen randomly and surveyed through an adapted instrument. The findings of this study revealed that both the levels of perceived effectiveness of government preventive measures and attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine were high, while acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine was only average. The perceived effectiveness of government preventive measures and attitudes and acceptance toward the COVID-19 vaccine have a positive, high and significant relationship. It further revealed a significant influence manifested between the variables of the study. The effectiveness of government preventive measures is an essential factor in influencing citizens' attitudes and acceptance toward the COVID-19 vaccines. When the government implements preventive measures more influential, the higher the confidence in manifesting a positive attitude and good acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines. Government and local health authorities will be served with assistance in promoting vaccination in the country and strengthening the preventive protocols implemented to control the rapid spread of the COVID-19 disease.

BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the newly discovered Coronavirus, namely the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Daily cases of COVID-19 increased rapidly by up to 500% from May 15 to Jun 17, 2021, especially in Banten province; there were 53,472 cases, of which 10.4% were cases of children aged 6-18 years, causing an emergency to prevent the spread of COVID-19. One of the efforts to prevent COVID-19 in children can be through vaccination. Therefore, this study assessed students' attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, evaluated data on COVID-19 vaccinations in students, and assessed the relationship between student attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine and COVID-19 vaccination in students. METHODS This study used a cross-sectional design with a population of students from Santa Patricia Junior High School with a sample size of 90 participants using cluster sampling technique and simple random sampling and then analyzed using the exact-fisher test. RESULTSThe results of the study prove that the most prominent characteristic aspects are female gender (64.4%), Age below or equal to 15 years (57.8%), having received the COVID-19 vaccine (86.7%), having a positive attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine (85.5%), was influenced by other people around him (97.8%) and wanted to vaccinate against COVID-19 (86.7%). Students' attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine with COVID-19 vaccination had p=0.324. CONCLUSION The analysis did not show a significant relationship between students' attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine and the coverage of the COVID-19 vaccination (p=0.324; p>0.05).

Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is the virus that causes an epidemic of acute respiratory infections that become a global pandemic in 2020. COVID-19 cases continue to increase, so prevention behavior is needed. Knowledge and attitudes become important domains that can influence a person's behavior. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes related to COVID-19 prevention behaviors in university students. This study used a cross sectional study design which was conducted from April to May 2020. Students from the faculty of religion at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta (n = 434) were participated in this study. As many as 51.4% (n = 223) of participants had a positive attitude towards preventing COVID-19. Participants who are well-behaved attitude towards COVID-19 prevention tend to have moderate and high levels of knowledge about COVID-19 and positive attitude (59.7%) towards COVID-19 prevention. The multivariate results showed that levels of knowledge and attitudes were related to COVID-19 prevention behaviors with adjustment for age, sex, and place of residence (p-value < 0.05). We conclude that knowledge and attitudes have an influence on a person's behavior in preventing the transmission of COVID-19.

Parental attitudes towards childhood vaccination programs are important for successful delivery. Children were affected by COVID-19; however, parental attitudes towards childhood COVID-19 vaccination have not been fully assessed. The purpose is to assess parental hesitancy and attitudes about their children receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. This was a cross-sectional study using an electronically distributed questionnaire including a convenience sample of 123 Saudi Arabian parents of school-aged children between five and eleven years old. Most of the participants were mothers (77.2%) aged 31–40 years old (61%). The mean score of the questionnaire about parents’ attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine was M = 18.95, SD = 5.52. Only 39% of the parents were hesitant to have their children receive the seasonal influenza vaccine compared to 74% who were hesitant to have their children receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Most of the children (80%) did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine because of parental concerns about the vaccine’s side effects (49.5 %). Parents whose children received the COVID-19 vaccine (Median = 24, IQR = 9) had higher attitude scores than those whose children did not receive the vaccine (Median = 17, IQR = 6). The findings shed light on parental attitudes towards their children receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. Healthcare providers can build upon this study to improve parental attitudes towards childhood vaccination.

The purpose of the study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of the community about implementing health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic in North Birobuli Village. The research method used was qualitative with a case study approach. The number of informants in the study was 12 people obtained through purposive sampling. The results showed that the predisposing factors for knowledge related to COVID-19, symptoms of COVID-19, the transmission of COVID-19, how to prevent COVID-19, and health protocols could be mentioned well by informants. However, the public still had a negative attitude towards COVID-19, who thought that COVID-19 does not exist and did not believe; in this attitude predisposing factor, the informant also explained that he was starting to feel tired of implementing health protocols. Our finding concludes that the community already has fairly good knowledge regarding health protocols during the covid 19 pandemic, and the community's attitude is showing negative attitudes related to covid and feeling tired regarding applying the health protocol.

Purpose This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare workers toward COVID-19 preventive measures and related factors. Methods Descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 140 Jordanian healthcare providers working in COVID-19 units from governmental hospitals completed the study during February–March 2021. A self-reported measure with three domains: knowledge (e.g., COVID-19 transmissions), attitudes (e.g., COVID-19 vaccination), and practices (e.g., handwashing) were used. An independent t-test was performed to assess the difference in knowledge, attitude, and practice depending on demographic and work-related variables, while Pearson r and multiple linear regression were performed to identify the relationships between the study variables and the predictors of COVID-19 preventive practices. Results The majority of the participants had good knowledge (81.4%), good attitude (87.1%), and satisfactory practice (77.9%). Knowledge was significantly associated with attitude and practice ( p < .01), and attitude was significantly associated with practice ( p < .01). There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge, attitude, and practice depending on the existence of infection control policy, availability of PPE, and receiving infection control training ( p < .05). Predictors of COVID-19 practice included knowledge and attitude, PPE availability, and receiving training on infection control ( p < .05). Conclusion This result might suggest that there are some gaps between knowledge, attitudes, and practices of COVID-19 preventive measures. Lack of PPE and inadequate infection control training could contribute to this gap.

Vaccine for COVID-19 is held with the hope of being the pandemic solution but it also gets various responses from various groups, so researchers want to compare the knowledge, attitudes, and participation of health workers and civilians towards the COVID-19 vaccine. The research design used a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 101 respondents from health workers using simple random sampling and civilians using incidental sampling by time. The data were taken in March-April 2021 using a questionnaire at Immanuel Hospital Bandung. Data analysis used univariate and multivariate analysis. The results showed that 84% of health workers and 83.1% of civilians had good knowledge; 99% of health workers and 93% of civilians are supportive; 89% of health workers and 78.2% of civilians participate in the COVID-19 vaccine. The relationship between knowledge and attitudes has a close relationship (p <0.05), as well as knowledge and participation (p <0.05) and attitudes towards participation (p <0.05) in both civilians and health workers. Both groups have good knowledge, supportive attitude and are willing to participate in the COVID-19 vaccine—the better the knowledge, the better the attitudes and participation. Likewise, the better the attitudes, the more willing they are to participate in the COVID-19 vaccine.

Full textAbstract:
The development of COVID-19 vaccines is a major scientific accomplishment that has armed communities worldwide with powerful epidemic control tools. Yet, COVID-19 vaccination efforts in the US have been marred by persistent vaccine hesitancy. We used survey methodology to explore the impact of different cognitive and cultural factors on the public’s general vaccination attitudes, attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines, and COVID-19 vaccination status. The factors include information literacy, science literacy, attitudes towards science, interpersonal trust, public health trust, political ideology, and religiosity. The analysis suggests that attitudes towards vaccination are influenced by a multitude of factors that operate in a complex manner. General vaccination attitude was most affected by attitudes towards science and public health trust and to a lesser degree by information literacy, science literacy, and religiosity. Attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines were most affected by public health trust and to a lesser extent by general trust, ideology and attitudes towards science. Vaccination status was most influenced by public health trust. Possible mediating effects of correlated variables in the model need to be further explored. The study underscores the importance of understanding the relationship between public health trust, literacies, and sociocultural factors.

The objective of this study was to examine the levels and determinants of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 among adult people in Bangladesh, using data from an online survey, conducted in May 2021. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were performed to extract findings from data. The survey covered 993 respondents. A high level (78.4%) of effective knowledge and positive attitude (78.6%) were observed among the Bangladeshi people. More than eighty percent of the respondents could correctly mention at least one important symptom, mode of transmission, and preventive measures of COVID-19. Good knowledge and positive attitudes were found to be significantly higher among males, living in Dhaka city, having a higher level of education, health professionals, and the wealthiest people. Knowledge about COVID-19 has significant association with positive attitude of people towards COVID-19. Despite the high level of knowledge and positive attitudes, there still prevails some misconceptions among a group of people, as one-third of the respondents opined that COVID-19 is a divine punishment and 13% were in favor of keeping it secrete if COVID-19 infection happen to them. The findings underscore the need for more educational program and behavior change communication (BCC) for the subgroups of the population that has been identified with poor knowledge and negative attitudes towards COVID-19.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Since then, it has spread to 215 countries, and 42 million people around the globe are affected. The knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 play a role in determining the acceptance of behavioral change measures from health authorities to suppress this pandemic status. The KAP on COVID-19 is also important among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic to mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19. Hence, this study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 and its association with sociodemographic factors among nursing students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among the Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 nursing students. The questionnaire consists of four parts: 1) demographics, which surveys participants' sociodemographic information; 2) knowledge about COVID-19; 3) attitude towards COVID-19; and 4) practices relevant to COVID-19. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0 was used for data entry and analysis Result: A total of 113 Nursing Students participated in the study. More than half of the respondents have good general knowledge and practices of COVID-19. However, only one in three respondents have positive attitudes towards COVID-19. Older age was associated with good knowledge about COVID-19 (p=0.02). Female (P=0.02) and high household income (P=0.02) has a better attitude towards COVID-19. However, no significant association between sociodemographic and practices towards COVID-19. Conclusion: Most of the respondents demonstrate a good level of knowledge and practices towards COVID-19 but not for attitudes. Sociodemographic characteristics such as younger, male respondents and those with lower-income families have inadequate knowledge and practices towards COVID-19. Hence, health education programs such as campaigns need to be conducted to increase the knowledge and encourage adequate preventive practice towards COVID-19 should be targeted towards this group.

Throughout the last several years, there have been varying responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study (N = 211) explored individual differences (i.e., health anxiety, education, and age) as correlates of COVID-19 risk perceptions, the relationship of these risk perceptions with attitudes toward cautionary behaviors, such as masking and vaccination, and examined how political beliefs—specifically liberalism—influenced those relationships to better understand the varying responses to the pandemic and how certain demographic groups differ in their COVID-19 risk perceptions. COVID-19 risk perception had significant positive correlations with health anxiety (r = .37, p < .001), education (r = .21, p = .003), attitude toward masking (r = .40, p < .001), attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccination (r = .27, p < .001), and liberalism (r = .36, p < .001), but not age. Liberalism moderated the relationship between COVID-19 risk perceptions and attitude toward masking (p = .02, f2 = .02) and the relationship between COVID-19 risk perceptions and attitude toward vaccination (p = .02, f2 = .02). Lastly, regarding demographic group differences, we found that COVID-19 risk perceptions differed by age (p = .04, d = 0.24) and gender (p < .001, d = 0.50), but not by education. Results support previous research and provide new insights regarding perceived COVID-19 risk and attitudes toward cautionary behaviors, stressing the impact of individual differences on responses to public health emergencies such as COVID-19. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Introduction: COVID-19 spread rapidly, but little is known regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) against COVID-19 among residents from various regions in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, practice and attitudes related to COVID-19 to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of this major outbreak in Indonesia. Methods: Online survey with convenience sampling was conducted among urban and rural residents in West Nusa Tenggara Province, and collected 523 questionnaires through online media. The instruments used in this research are demographic information, such as age, gender, educational level, marital status and area of residence (urban or rural) and knowledge, attitude and practice questionnaires. Results: The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level (p=0.01), gender (p=0.00) and age (p=0.03) had a significant effect on knowledge about COVID-19. Residential area (urban) affects practices related to COVID-19 (p=0.00). Furthermore, knowledge of COVID-19 (p=0.00) and area of residence (urban) (p=0.00) are closely related to residents’ attitudes toward preventive measures that can control this disease. Conclusions: Both urban and rural residents of West Nusa Tenggara Province displayed moderate levels of knowledge as well as the practice of COVID-19 and showed the disease with a positive attitude. Developing suitable education programs targeted at the general residents in West Nusa Tenggara Province is essential to increase knowledge, attitudes, as well as practices of COVID-19, especially for rustic and low-educated citizens.

The spread of COVID-19 can occur in various settings but most notably in gathering places. Health protocols to avoid the spread of COVID-19 may be influenced by the knowledge and attitude of individuals. This study examined the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of students at the Islamic Boarding School X in Serang City, Banten Province, Indonesia, with the COVID-19 incidence. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design was used. The study population consisted of 994 students, from which (via the Slovin’s formula) a minimum sample size of 285 students was obtained. Data collection was carried out using an online validated questionnaire. The data collected related to age, sex, education level, knowledge level, attitude, behavior, and the COVID-19 incidence as experienced by the respondents. The results showed that most students had low-level knowledge (71.9%), negative attitudes (51.3%), and poor behaviors (53.2%) regarding the COVID-19. Most of the students were infected by the COVID-19 (88%). Statistically, knowledge, attitude, and behavior had no significant relationship with the COVID-19 incidence (p-value>0.05). This study concludes that knowledge, attitude, and behavior are not related to the COVID-19 incidence.

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the lives of all people on the planet. It contributed to the digitalization of everyday life, which affected the work of the adult generation and the studies of schoolchildren and students, as well as even leisure activities. The profession of a psychologist involves a wide range of communications, what under the circumstances impels to use online services in their work. The study involved 60 respondents aged 18 to 22 years. Among them were students of the Faculty of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. A new questionnaire was used with standard answers within the Leuckart scale about attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic, communication during a pandemic, and distance learning. Psychology students demonstrated a high readiness to switch to a remote format of study and work, if necessary. The results of the study confirmed that the majority of psychology students have a responsible attitude towards the COVID-19 pandemic. It may be due to the fact that they are studying at a pedagogical university and they are influenced by the professional environment. Only a third of the respondents show nihilistic views regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, it was shown that there is a direct relationship between the nature of the attitude towards the pandemic and the willingness to switch to distance learning. Students who have demonstrated a responsible attitude towards the pandemic also have a positive attitude towards distance learning. On the contrary, students who had a nihilistic attitude towards the disease, respectively, show a negative attitude towards online learning. That was probably because the respondents who showed a responsible attitude to the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be more adaptive and able to gain positive experience from a stressful life situation.

Full textAbstract:
Attitudes toward globalization are shaped by people’s direct experience with it. The COVID-19 pandemic can arguably be understood as a negative manifestation of globalization. The purpose of this study was to examine whether fear of COVID-19 infection and life satisfaction could be predictors of attitudes toward globalization. The study was crosssectional in nature and utilized intergroup comparison analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Emerging adults (n = 157) and seniors (n = 119) were compared. Higher levels of accepting attitudes toward globalization were observed among the emerging adults, while a fear of contracting COVID-19 was found to be higher among seniors. In both study groups, a fearful attitude towards globalization was positively associated with fear of COVID-19 infection, and life satisfaction was negatively associated with infection. In addition, respondents viewed the COVID-19 pandemic itself as a negative manifestation of globalization.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant disruption in students’ lives through lockdowns, restricted movement, remote instruction, and mixed information. Therefore, this study aimed to capture the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of student pharmacists during 2020–2021. A 43-item COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (COVKAP) survey previously developed was administered at four schools of pharmacy across the U.S. during Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. A total of 418 responses were analyzed from graduating classes of 2021–2024. There were no significant differences in correct COVID-19 knowledge responses across the four graduating years. Respondents’ attitudes around COVID-19 were homogenous with the exception for their belief in their preparedness to administer COVID-19 vaccines. Respondents reported wearing masks daily (76.8%), infrequently visiting restaurants (82.1%), practicing social distancing daily (45.7%), and referring to medical journals for information (72%). In conclusion, during the pandemic, student pharmacists experienced significant changes in their academic lives. Their knowledge and subsequent attitudes and practices were consistent with the state of evidence during Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. Subsequently, as newer information has emerged, the authors suggest that the COVKAP survey may be modified and administered frequently to address student needs and concerns as the pandemic evolves.

There is no proven specific treatment or adequate vaccination roll out against COVID-19 infection in South Africa. Optimal infection control measures encompass primary intervention to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Public knowledge, attitude, and practices of dealing with this highly infectious respiratory disease play a vital role in limiting the spread of the infection. Aim was to identify knowledge, attitudes, and practices gaps on COVID-19 pandemic for possible health education intervention. The objectives were to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices of out-patients attending a primary health care facility. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. The Student’s t-test and ANOVA test were carried out to determine the different mean scores for knowledge, attitudes and practices. Pearson’s correlation test was conducted to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices scores. Binary logistic regression was undertaken to determine the predictor of good knowledge, positive attitude, and preventive practices. A total of 345 out-patient attendees participated of which 51% were male. Over half (52%) of respondents were evaluated as having good knowledge, 59% as having positive attitudes and almost all (95%) were practicing prevention of COVID-19. The knowledge of the respondent was correlated with preventive practices (r=.173, p<0.05). Multiple regression showed that respondents in the age groups 35-44 years and 45-54 years were 2.8 times and 5.7 times more likely to have good knowledge respectively. Non-smokers were 79% less likely to have good knowledge (OR=.219, p<0.05). Respondents with no comorbidity were 50% less likely to have good knowledge (OR=.503, p <0.05), when compared to those having co-morbidities. Respondents with the highest level of education was found to be positive predictor of positive attitudes (OR =7.3, p <0.05). Primary Health Care users have poor knowledge, negative attitudes but practiced properly for the prevention of the transmission of COVID-19. Mass education is required to educate communities to improve knowledge and attitudes on COVID-19 epidemic in SA.

AbstractThe increasing number cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infections in the general population in Indonesia raises questions concerning the public’s knowledge and attitudes regarding this pandemic. To determine the correlation between the general public’s knowledge and attitudes regarding the COVID-19 outbreak 1 month after the first cases were reported in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study was conducted between early March and the end of April 2020 in the general population of Indonesia, beginning with the North Sumatra region, where the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia began. Questionnaires were randomly distributed online in the red zone in Indonesia. Data were collected by collecting people’s responses to the questionnaire, which were distributed via WhatsApp (WA) application and were competed independently by the participants. A descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes of the general population. A total of 201 people had good knowledge (98%) and a positive attitude (96%) regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The respondents had a negative attitude in relation to two aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak: having to always maintain a distance of 1.5 m when in crowds, and not being able to regularly exercise or eat nutritious food (78.6% and 79.1%, respectively). Most people in Indonesia have good knowledge and a positive attitude regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. However, negative attitudes were still found in this study, and as a result, transmission prevention measures cannot reach their maximum effectiveness by simply publicizing the increase in day-to-day cases to the general public.
