In the times of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary for the medical students to have knowledge about the features of thedisease, how the disease is transmitted, and protective measures to contain the COVID-19. This study was conducted to evaluateknowledge, attitude, and practices related to COVID-19 in Pakistani medical students. We conducted a web-based survey fromMarch 29 to May 10, 2020, utilizing an online platform. Medical students from 1st to 5th professional years in medical collegesacross the country were requested to participate. The questionnaire consisting of 31 items were circulated online using differentsocial media channels to collect the required information. Proportions for categorical variables were tested using the Chi-squaretest or Fisher’s exact tests. A total of 344 medical students responded, and their overall knowledge about COVID-19 was 88.86%. Nearly 31.0% of participants were involved in awareness projects regarding COVID-19 in the community and 84.6% ofparticipants were willing to volunteer in healthcare crises. The percentage of the medical students who opted lockdown/curfew tobe a better solution for curbing disease transmission was 94.2% while 95.9% of them believed social distancing can prevent thetransmission. The average rate of practicing correct preventive measures among the respondents was 93.25%. The study showedsufficient knowledge, the crucial practice of preventive measures regarding COVID-19, and unveiled a profoundly assertiveattitude of the medical students of Pakistan toward the current health crises. More regular awareness and educational programsfor medical students related to the COVID-19 can boost and update their current knowledge. |
