Evaluation and associated factors of the responses to public health emergencies among college students in Shandong Province

Abstract

Objective To evaluate response to public health emergencies in colleges and universities and associated factors, and to provide references for emergency response mechanisms in colleges.

Methods Using stratified random sampling, recruited 7 719 students in 6 universities in Shandong Province during April-May 2020, and analyzed the data with SPSS 25.0 software.

Results About 65.5% of college students reported response to public health emergencies in their college, 67.7% of the students reported that colleges have emergency plans, 53.9% of the students reported that colleges have carried out simulated emergency training, and 64.7% of the students reported that colleges have carried out health education. Evaluation from students for responding to public health emergencies in colleges and universities scored (24.15±4.59), of which measures and policies related to epidemic control were highest (4.05±0.81), while mental health education or counselling services were lowest (3.95±0.85). Gender, grade, major, type of household registration, emergency response measures, emergency response plan, emergency simulation training, health education were associated with the evaluation of the measures by college students ( t/F = 5.04, 43.83, 79.92, −3.40, 26.86, 34.83, 29.35, 35.01, P <0.01).

Conclusion While recognizing the overall performance on public health responses in universities, college students believe certain limitations still exist; colleges and universities should continuously improve the emergency prevention and control system of public health emergencies in response to the effectiveness and deficiencies in the prevention and control process.
