Abstract
This study was attempted to find out the influencing factors on the performance of COVID-19 preventive behaviors by examining the degree of stress, self-efficacy, and performance of COVID-19 preventive behaviors of nursing students and identifying their correlations. 207 nursing students were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Stress was found to be positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.372, p<.001) and performance of COVID-19 preventive behaviors (r=.233, p<.001). Self-efficacy showed a positive correlation with the performance of COVID-19 preventive behaviors (r=.308, p<.001). Self-efficacy showed a positive correlation with the performance of COVID-19 prevention behaviors (r=.308, p<.001). The higher the self-efficacy, the higher the degree of COVID-19 preventive behaviors, and it was found to explain 11% of the degree of COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Based on the results of this study, future research is needed to reconfirm the degree of COVID-19 stress in nursing students and to identify the influencing factors of preventive behaviors against infectious diseases in the event of continuous outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. In addition, we suggest the development and application of programs that can reduce stress against COVID-19 and improve self-efficacy.
