- Fatores que influenciam os comportamentos dos estudantes do ensino superior face à COVID-19Publication . Peralta, Catarina; Vieira Da Silva, Manuela; Dores, Artemisa Rocha; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Andrade, Graça; Pinto, Marta Vasconcelos; Rodrigues, MatildeEm resposta à pandemia de COVID-19, as instituições do ensino superior adotaram um conjunto de medidas para garantir um ensino presencial seguro, prevenindo potenciais surtos. Contudo, a efetividade das medidas implementadas está dependente da adoção dos comportamentos preventivos pelos estudantes. Também é importante considerar que os estudantes do ensino superior são em geral jovens, muitas vezes deslocados, em coabitação e com uma procura constante de socialização, o que torna os seus comportamentos fora da instituição também de particular relevância para o controlo da pandemia.
- Higher education student's behaviors towards COVID-19Publication . Peranta, Catarina; Silva, Manuela Vieira da; Dores, Artemisa Rocha; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Pinto, Marta V.; Andrade, Graça; Rodrigues, MatildeIn response to the pandemic of COVID-19, higher education institutions have adopted a set of measures to ensure safe face-to-face teaching and control of potential outbreaks. However, the effectiveness of the measures implemented is dependent on student behaviors. Additionally, the way students behave outside the educational institution is also relevant to the control of the pandemic. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the behaviors adopted by higher education students during the pandemic period in two higher education institutions. Materials and methods: 425 higher education students participated in this study. An online questionnaire was applied in two higher education institutions to characterize the behaviors adopted by students inside and outside the educational institution. Results: The behaviors reported as less frequent inside the higher education institution were disinfection of hands and equipment used and social distancing from colleagues. Regarding behaviors adopted outside the institution, it was found that students tended not to avoid socializing with colleagues and family members. Application: These results contribute to the knowledge about the students' behaviors towards the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to more effective control programs and measures.
