Objectives: This study identified whether there is a difference in the practice of personal hygiene prevention and social distance between Korean and Nepalese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also identified the influencing factors under each country’s response policy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. Chi-square test, t-test, F-test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: This study shows that “washing hands after sneezing” as a practice for personal hygiene prevention was better observed by Nepalese students (76.0%) than Korean students (59.5%) (p<.001). “Wearing a Mask” was better observed by Korean (94.8%) than Nepalese (60.5%) (p<.001) students. Among the practices in social distancing, Nepalese students have better compliance with “refrain from using public transportation”, “refrain from using elevator”, and “one-row seating” than Korean students (p<.001). The “restraint of meeting with more than 10 people”, was kept better by Nepalese (88.7%) than Korean students (78.9%) (p=.015). According to a logistic regression analysis, Korean students complied with the practice of personal hygiene prevention 1.61 times better than Nepalese students, who followed the practice of social distance 12.13 times better than the Korean students. As a result, preventive activities, including both personal hygiene prevention and social distancing practice, showed that Nepalese university students were 4.78 times better at complying than Korean university students. Conclusion: It can be seen that each country's response policies are factors that have the greatest impact on the practices of personal hygiene prevention and social distancing. Thus, new guidelines regarding personal hygiene prevention should be announced to ensure that people comply well together.
