Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the level of awareness
of pharmacy students on COVID-19 health protocols. It
distinctively answered the following questions: 1. What is the
Level of Awareness of Pharmacy students on COVID-19 Health
Protocols? 2. Is there a significant difference on the level of
awareness on Health Protocols of Pharmacy students on their
Demographic Profile? Weighted mean was used to determine
the level of awareness of pharmacy students on COVID-19
health protocols. T-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
were used to determine the significant difference in the level
of awareness of pharmacy students on COVID-19 health
protocols when grouped in terms of their demographic profile.
The results show that the level of awareness of pharmacy
students on COVID-19 health protocols has a graded mean of
response of 4.04. It means that the level of awareness of
pharmacy students on COVID-19 health protocols has high
remarks which indicates that the respondents are moderately
aware of the said health protocols. The findings also suggest
that there is no significant difference in the level of awareness
of pharmacy students on COVID-19 health protocols when
grouped according to their ethnicity, address, year level, age,
and gender.
