Abstract

Objective: According to the importance of health precautions and preventive behaviors against COVID-19, the present study aimed to compare health-related behaviors in individuals with and without COVID-19.
Methods: This study was causal-comparative and descriptive. The sample of the study was 30 persons with a history of COVID-19 infection and 61 normal individuals who were selected from men and women in Rasht through convenience sampling in 2021. To collect data, the Clark et al.’s Compliance Behaviors Against COVID-19 Questionnaire (2020) was used.
Results: The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there were differences in health-related behaviors among individuals with and without COVID-19. In other words, the mean score of Perceived Invulnerability was higher in individuals with COVID-19 and Health Precautions and Health Importance in them were less than normal individuals.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that there are gaps in health behaviors related to the COVID-19 area and awareness in this area can have a positive effect on the quality of health-related behaviors.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف: با توجه به اهمیت رفتارهای احتیاطی مرتبط با سلامت و پیشگیرانه در برابر کووید 19، پژوهش حاضر با هدف مقایسه رفتارهای مربوط به سلامت در افراد با و بدون کووید 19 انجام شد. روش ها: این پژوهش توصیفی، از نوع علی مقایسه ای بود. نمونه پژوهش شامل 30 فرد با سابقه ابتلا به کووید 19 و 61 فرد بدون این تجربه بود که به‌ صورت در دسترس از میان زنان و مردان شهر رشت در سال 1399 انتخاب گردید. برای جمع آوری داده ها پرسشنامه رفتارهای انطباقی در برابر کووید 19 کلارک و همکاران (2020) استفاده شد. یافته ها: نتایج تحلیل واریانس چند متغیری نشان داد که در رفتارهای مربوط به سلامت در میان افراد با و بدون کووید 19 تفاوت وجود دارد. به عبارت دیگر، میانگین نمرات آسیب ناپذیری ادراک شده در افراد مبتلا به کووید 19 بیشتر است و اقدامات پیشگیرانه و اهمیت سلامتی در آن ها کمتر از افراد عادی است. نتیجه گیری: این یافته ها نشان می دهند که در مورد رفتارهای سلامت مربوط به کووید 19 خلاء هایی وجود دارد که آگاه سازی در این زمینه می تواند در کیفیت رفتارهای مربوط به سلامت تاثیر مطلوبی داشته باشد.
