Abstract：
Little is known about young people\'s behaviors and responses under outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in institutional settings. This research investigated the reactions of young adults residing at Danish folk high schools (FHSs) towards COVID-19 guidelines and the communicative styles used to enforce COVID-19 guidelines. The qualitative data consists of focus group discussions (FGDs) with students, interviews with staff, and participant observations, as well as survey data from 1800 students. This study showed that young adults reacted negatively when first faced with the new reality of COVID-19 restrictions. They expressed distress over the loss of meaning (non-sense), loss of sense of community, as well as uncertainty. Hygiene guidelines, however, made immediate sense and were socially well accepted. Most FHSs actively involved students in risk communication and creative examples of community-building communication were identified. This study demonstrates that successful risk communication at educational institutions must take into consideration how young adults make sense of and cope with the uncertainties of life during crisis situations including epidemics.
摘要：
对青少年在COVID-19大流行等传染病暴发时的行为和反应知之甚少，尤其是在机构环境中。这项研究调查了居住在丹麦民间高中（FHS）的年轻人对COVID-19指南的反应以及用于执行COVID-19指南的交流方式。定性数据包括与学生的焦点小组讨论(FGD)，采访工作人员,和参与者的观察，以及1800名学生的调查数据。这项研究表明，当年轻人第一次面对COVID-19限制的新现实时，他们的反应是负面的。他们对失去意义(无意义)表示痛苦，失去社区意识，以及不确定性。卫生指南，然而,立竿见影，被社会广泛接受。大多数FHS积极参与风险沟通，并确定了社区建设沟通的创造性例子。这项研究表明，教育机构成功的风险沟通必须考虑到年轻人在包括流行病在内的危机情况下如何理解和应对生活的不确定性。
