Abstract

The researchers utilized a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive research design with a questionnaire tool. This questionnaire consists of 25 statements that respondents had to determine if they were “True” or “False”. Quota Sampling technique was used to obtain respondents from each year level. Calculation of percentage, mean, t-test, and f-test were the statistical treatments done to determine the result of the study. Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1) Majority of the respondents are (a) female, (b) Roman Catholic, (c) first year level and (d) use two sources of COVID-19 information, 2) Overall, the respondents have high scores on general knowledge on COVID-19, knowledge regarding transmission of COVID-19, knowledge regarding signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and knowledge regarding prevention of COVID-19, 3) There are no significant differences in the nursing students’ knowledge on COVID-19 when grouped according to sex, religion and year level. However, there are significant differences in the nursing students’ knowledge on COVID- 19 when grouped according to the number of sources of COVID-19 information they use.
