    • Abstract:
      En los inicios de la pandemia de la COVID-19, encuestas develaron que uno de cada tres jóvenes consideró que no estaba en riesgo de infectarse. Se tuvo como objetivo entonces, conocer cómo un grupo de jóvenes universitarios asumieron las recomendaciones para actuar frente a la COVID-19. Se llevó a cabo una investigación cualitativa de naturaleza exploratoria en 2021, a 8 universitarios peruanos, que en el momento del estudio estaban entre los 19 a 25 años. Los resultados mostraron que las percepciones y prácticas de los participantes estuvieron adheridas a los mensajes brindados desde el inicio por parte de las autoridades sanitarias: higiene de manos y distanciamiento físico para bloquear la infección. La efectividad de la mascarilla fue desacreditada. Los hallazgos del presente estudio destacan que el comportamiento de riesgo en un grupo de jóvenes está sujeto a aquellas prácticas acentuadas por el sector sanitario desde el inicio de la pandemia.

    • Abstract:
      Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, surveys revealed that one in three young people thought they were not at risk of infection. The objective was then to know how a group of university students assumed the recommendations to act against COVID-19. A qualitative research of an exploratory nature was carried out in 2021, with 8 Peruvian university students, who at the time of the study were between 19 and 25 years old. The results showed that the perceptions and practices of the participants were adhered to the messages provided from the beginning by the health authorities: hand hygiene and physical distancing to block infection. The effectiveness of the mask was discredited. The findings of this study highlight that risk behavior in a group of young people is subject to those practices accentuated by the health sector since the start of the pandemic.
