UCAB students facing the COVID-19 pandemic: The return to presential classes

Abstract

As a strategy to monitor habits and changes in the evaluation and perception of the pandemic, a survey of UCAB students was conducted with the aim of exploring how they feel when they return to face-to-face classes, after the confinement as a result of the pandemic of COVID-19. The survey was conducted between May 25 and July 28, 2022. 241 students responses were obtained from the Caracas campus of all Faculties and active semesters. The results highlight the greater knowledge that students have about the disease, the importance of maintaining essential biosafety standards, and the enthusiastic willingness to return to the university campus, although with some anxiety and concern about the possibility of contagion with COVID-19.
