Percepción de riesgo de contagio por COVID-19 en estudiantes de enfermería. Rev Eug Esp [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.1, pp.50-58. ISSN 2661-6742.  https://doi.org/10.37135/ee.04.13.06.

The perception of a threatening event in the individual produces consequent behaviors in this one. A non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was carried out in a population of 263 nursing students at the National University of Chimborazo to describe the perception of hedges in the face of the risk of contagion by COVID-19. The data related to the variables of interest were obtained by applying the online adaptation of the COVID-19 risk perception survey, prepared by researchers from the European University. 95.44% of the participants were under 26 years of age and 49.05% were classified as having a medium level of risk of contagion from Covid-19. Among the students involved, those ones who said they felt fear being outside their homes and those ones who used a mask and practiced hand hygiene as protective measures to avoid contagion predominated.
