Abstract
The purpose of study was to assess the relationship between perception of COVID-19 risk (dread risk and unknown risk) and perception and compliance of COVID-19 precautions in nursing students. A convenience sample of 340 nursing students from three universities answered a self-administered questionnaire. The results indicated that low levels of perceived unknown risk increased perception and compliance of precautionary behaviors. Furthermore, concern about COVID-19 infection and support to universities and government for responding to COVID-19 were associated with compliance of precautionary behaviors. The findings suggest that providing evidence on COVID-19 and precautionary behaviors is needed to improve awareness and compliance of personal quarantine rules for COVID-19 prevention.
