The respiratory disease Covid-19 is of rapid community transmission, so it is essential to maintain hygienic-sanitary and social responsibility measures to prevent its spread. It was proposed to analyze the knowledge and action against Covid-19 of university students of careers related to health sciences.
Observational, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. A structured and self-administered questionnaire divided into three sections was designed in Google Forms: sociodemographic data, knowledge and action against Covid-19. A scale was adapted to assess the level of knowledge and action. A score ≥29 was considered for “greater knowledge” and ≥15 for “greater action” regarding the prevention of the disease. Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to analyze the correlation between the scores of knowledge and action against Covid-19, with a significance level of p<0.05. InfoStat v.19 was used.
875 students from the National University of Córdoba participated, of both sexes, <35 years old, between October-November 2021. Of the total number of respondents, 87.54% were female and 74.29% were between 18- 24 years. The most frequent careers were Bachelor of Nutrition, Bachelor of Psychology and Medicine. In relation to knowledge, more than 95% recognized prevention measures and their importance (hand hygiene, social distancing and use of face masks). Likewise, 97.14% recognized the possibility of re-contagion after getting sick and/or being vaccinated. Regarding actions, 54.97% chose soap and water for hand washing, however 37.14% knew the recommended washing time and only 18.29% applied it. 50.97% "never" used a mask when meeting with peers and/or relatives and 38.97% admitted to respecting prevention measures "sometimes/never" when they shared with people in the risk group. 94.06% had "greater knowledge" while only 19.66% "greater action". A positive correlation was observed between the scores of knowledge and action against the prevention of Covid-19 (r=0.25; p<0.0001).
It is concluded that it is necessary to reinforce the application of preventive and social responsibility measures against Covid-19 through the implementation of health promotion strategies. |

La enfermedad respiratoria Covid-19 es de rápida transmisión comunitaria, por eso es fundamental mantener las medidas higiénico-sanitarias y de responsabilidad social para evitar su propagación. Se propuso analizar el conocimiento y accionar frente al Covid-19 del estudiantado universitario de carreras afines a las ciencias de la salud. Estudio observacional, descriptivo, correlacional y transversal. Se diseñó, en Google Forms, un cuestionario estructurado y autoadministrado dividido en tres secciones: datos sociodemográficos, conocimiento y accionar frente al Covid-19. Se adaptó una escala para valorar el nivel de conocimiento y accionar. Se consideró una puntuación ≥29 para “mayor conocimiento” y ≥15 para “mayor accionar” frente a la prevención de la enfermedad. Se aplicó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para analizar la correlación entre las puntuaciones de conocimiento y accionar frente al Covid-19, con un nivel de significación de p<0,05. Se utilizó InfoStat v.19. Participaron 875 estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, , de ambos sexos, <35 años, entre octubre-noviembre del año 2021. Del total de encuestados, el 87,54% perteneció al género femenino y 74,29% tenían entre 18-24 años. Las carreras más frecuentes fueron Licenciatura en Nutrición, Licenciatura en Psicología y Medicina. En relación al conocimiento más del 95% reconoció las medidas de prevención y su importancia (higiene de manos, distanciamiento social y uso del tapabocas). Asimismo, el 97,14% reconoció la posibilidad de re-contagio luego de enfermarse y/o vacunarse. Con respecto al accionar, el 54,97% eligió agua y jabón para el lavado de manos, sin embargo el 37,14% conocía el tiempo recomendado de lavado y sólo un 18,29% lo aplicaba. El 50,97% “nunca” usaba tapaboca cuando se reunía con pares y/o familiares y el 38,97% admitió respetar “a veces/nunca” las medidas de prevención cuando compartían con personas del grupo de riesgo. El 94,06% poseía “mayor conocimiento” mientras que sólo un 19,66% “mayor accionar”. Se observó correlación positiva entre las puntuaciones de conocimiento y accionar frente a la prevención de la Covid-19 (r=0,25; p<0,0001). Se concluye que es necesario reforzar la aplicación de medidas preventivas y de responsabilidad social frente al Covid-19 mediante la implementación de estrategias de promoción para la salud.
