Abstract
This was a cross-sectional analytical study aimed to examine the factors which anticipated prevention behavior towards COVID 19. The sample received COVID 19 vaccines at King Narai Hospital, Lop Buri Province. A two-stage cluster sampling was conducted to select the sample of 478 people. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires designed based on the PRECEDE – PROCEED model from December 2022 to March 2023. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, inferential statistics, the Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
The results revealed that most of the sample had a good level of COVID 19 prevention behavior. There were seven factors that could statistically predict COVID 19 prevention behavior up to 33.2 percent (R2 = 0.332, p < 0.001). These factors were the perceived risk of COVID 19 infection (β = 0.151, p < 0.001), traveling by private cars (β = 0.112, p = 0.004), receiving information about COVID 19 prevention from neighbor/community leaders and television (β = 0.085, p = 0.037; β = 0.099, p = 0.013, respectively), having adequacy of a face shield and antigen test kid (ATK) (β = 0.103, p < 0.001; β = 0.118, p = 0.006, respectively), and receiving social support from friends (β = 0.381, p < 0.001). The findings could be utilized to develop channels for increasing the accessibility of information about the disease, its severity, and how to prevent COVID 19. Additionally, organizing a preventive campaign against COVID 19 while using public transportation or accessing high-risk areas was recommended.
