Survey of risk perception among young military personnel serving in high-altitude regions in early stage of COVID-19 pandemic
To investigate the risk perception of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among young military personnel serving in high-altitude regions in the early stage of COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods
2
Using Risk Cognitive Questionnaire (RCQ)
we conducted an online survey of risk perception for COVID-19 among 1 093 young military personnel serving in regions of different altitudes (< 1 000 m
3 000-4 000 m
and >4 000 m) in the early stage of COVID-19 outbreak (January 28 to 30
2020)
and analyzed the differences in risk cognition among the subjects.
Results
2
① The military personnel serving in high- and low-altitude regions showed significant differences in total RCQ scores and the scores for controllability
familiarity
fear and reversibility (
P
<
0.05). ②The total RCQ scores differed significantly among the subjects with different marital status
education levels and experience of public health emergencies (
P
<
0.05). ③Altitude
marital status
education and experience of public health emergencies were all important factors affecting risk perception of the disease among the young military personnel (
P
<
0.05). ④The personnel serving in low-altitude (
<
1 000 m) regions who were unmarried
had a college degree
and had previous experience of public health emergencies had the lowest total RCQ scores
while those serving in regions above 4 000 m who were married and had at least a bachelor's degree without experience of public health emergencies had the highest total RCQ scores (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
As the altitude increases
the risk perception for COVID-19 tends to increase among the young military personnel. Special attention should be given to the mental health status of the well-educated
married personnel serving in high-altitude regions who have no experience of public health emergencies.
