Data were collected through the use of self-structured closed questionnaire. The research adopted a descriptive survey design. One hundred and fifty (150) questionnaires were administered, however only one hundred and thirty two (132) were properly filled and good enough for data analysis. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Regression Analysis were used to test the hypotheses generated for the study at 0.05 alpha levels. The result of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between customer’s attitude and insurance product. Findings also revealed that there is a significant relationship between product awareness and price. Findings from the survey further revealed that promotion of insurance products have significant influence on consumers buying behavior. Insurance companies are advised to guarantee that their services are dependable and reliable, in that the services should not require an excessive amount of bureaucratic procedure of their customers in taking an insurance policy or getting their claim. Other feasible measures to boost patronage of insurance products were recommended for insurance firms and policy-makers.

Methods A mixed-methods descriptive survey design was used to explore the perspectives of second-year nursing students at an Australian University. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were analyzed using directed content analysis. Results A total of 280 nursing students were invited to complete the survey with a response rate of 32%. The majority of the participants showed moderate to high levels of willingness to volunteer in a pandemic. Of the participants, 50% reported slight confidence that their knowledge and skills would assist them during their volunteering. Reasons that influenced students’ willingness to volunteer included perception of lack of personal protective equipment, need for incentives, fear of transmitting infection to family members, barriers to volunteering, inadequate knowledge and skills to handle a pandemic situation, study and clinical placement arrangements, and disease hazardousness. Conclusion Most nursing students have a level of willingness to volunteer but low confidence that their knowledge and skills would assist them while volunteering in pandemic situations. Universities and health care organizations can benefit from these findings by developing strategies to increase students’ willingness to volunteer, as well as their confidence in their knowledge and skills.
