Data collection tool and procedure
Data was collected by the face-to-face interview method using the pretested structured questioner. The questioner was prepared in the English language and translated into the local languages (Afan Oromo and Amharic), which was adapted after reviewing relevant literature and reports. The questioner consisted of two parts; sociodemographic variables and COVID-19 recommended prevention measure related variables including knowledge, attitude, and practice questions were our outcome variables. Data was collected by eight 4th-year nursing students.
