Antecedentes: La irrupción del COVID-19 en 2019 desencadenó una pandemia global, afectando la salud mundial y generando altas tasas de contagio y mortalidad, especialmente en países como Perú. A pesar de la implementación de medidas de bioseguridad, el incumplimiento de estas ha sido evidente, destacándose el distanciamiento social como factor clave en la propagación del virus. Estudios previos han identificado diversos factores, como la edad, género y variables socioculturales, que influyen en el cumplimiento de las medidas preventivas. Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados al incumplimiento de las medidas públicas para controlar la transmisión del COVID-19 en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de una Universidad Privada en Perú. Métodos: El estudio adopta un diseño transversal y analítico, involucrando a estudiantes de la facultad en el año 2022. Lo...

During the race for the development of a vaccine against COVID-19, even before itscommercialization, part of the population has already shown a growing fear of its application. Wedesigned an analytical cross-sectional study using an anonymous survey in the 25 departmentsof Peru. We surveyed whether the participants were planning on getting vaccinated, as well asother characteristics that were cross-checked in a uni-, bi- and multivariate manner. Of the 1776respondents, 70% (1251) stated that they were planning to be vaccinated, 20% (346) did not knowyet or doubted it, and 10% (179) did not want to be vaccinated. We observed that those who did notget infected with COVID-19 exhibited a higher frequency to not wanting or were uncertain aboutgetting vaccinated (aPR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.09–1.81;p-value = 0.008). In contrast, there was a lowerfrequency of vaccine refusal among university student...
