Preventive behaviors of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-2019) of people in Bangkok

Abstract

         The goal of this study was to look at the self-protection practices of people in Bangkok who were infected with the coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19). The sample group for this study was 377 participants, drawn from a cross-sectional survey with multistage stage sampling. Data is only collected once in a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used as the research tool to evaluate the data such as Percentage, Mean, and Standard Deviation.

          The results revealed that the majority of them were female, with 225 people, largely between the ages of 21 and 35, accounting for 59.68 percent, having a bachelor’s degree, 163 people accounting for 43.23 percent, and having less than a bachelor’s degree, 125 people accounting for 33.15 percent. They were employed in majority of their jobs. Private company employees accounted for 219 people, or 58.09 percent, followed by students, who accounted for 86 people, or 22.81 percent. The most acknowledged resource in learning about COVID-19 was from the internet or social network , with 358 people, or 94.96 percent.

          The findings of a data analysis on self-defense behavior following a corona virus infection in 2019  (COVID-19) found that overall behavior of the sample group was found to be very high ( = 2.79, S.D.=0.95) by the best behavior practice at the most advanced level. In other words, if you know you've been in close contact with a confirmed coronavirus illness 2019 (covid-19) patient, you'll isolate yourself or be in quarantine for 14 days ( = 3.56, S.D.=0.72) until any symptom shows. Second is the advance level where people learn to put face mask on all the time when leaving the house ( = 3.42, S.D.= 0.99). Third is when one is curious if they are infected with the corona virus 2019 (covid-19), they will immediately undergo COVID-19 infection screening test ( = 3.42, S.D. = 0.76.). Then lastly is the thought of using 70% alcohol gel to destroy germs when touching any surface ( = 3.39, S.D. = 0.84) and thinking that getting vaccinated can help protect COVID-19 and help boosting body’s immune system at high level (  = 3.18, S.D. = 1.01)
