dc.description.abstractHigher education institutions with significant numbers of young adults may become centres of acute outbreaks during a pandemic. Due to the large number of young adults, universities have the potential to become outbreak centres. The aim of this research is to examine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of university students towards COVID-19 at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), in Nilai. A self-administered questionnaire with a sample size of 2061 Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) students was distributed to collect the data and analyzed using SPSS software. To identify the levels of KAP among USIM students, we used descriptive statistics based Likert scale questionnaire. Results show that the sample of students have excellent awareness (85 per cent) and good attitude (73.8 per cent) towards COVID-19. However, levels for practice is significantly lower (44.9%) than the other two attributes. This is most likely due to the unpreparedness to face this pandemic's crucial situation. In other words, it can be said that although students have a fairly good level of knowledge on the subject, there is still much room for improvement in attitude and practice.en_US
