Abstract

Background: Protective behaviors were essential for minimizing the spread of the virus during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It is often assumed that awareness of bodily sensations (interoception) can improve decision-making and facilitate adaptive behavior.

Objective: This paper investigates cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between different aspects of self-reported interoception, trait anxiety, COVID-related worry, and health protective behaviors.

Methods: The study was conducted on a community sample of 265 adults. The two data collection phases took place online, before (baseline) and during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary.

Results: Contrary to our expectations, neither cross-sectional nor longitudinal associations were found between protective behaviors and indicators of self-reported interoception. However, worry at baseline predicted protective behaviors during the second wave, even after controlling for socio-economical characteristics and protective behaviors at baseline.

Conclusion: Our results highlight the adaptivity of health-related worry when behavioral steps to avoid threats are known and available. Also, higher level of perceived interoception did not appear to be health protective under these circumstances.

COVID-19大流行期间自我报告的内感受、担忧和保护行为:一项纵向研究

背景:在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间，保护行为对于最大限度地减少病毒的传播至关重要。通常认为，身体感觉的意识(内感受)可以改善决策和促进适应性行为。目的:探讨自我报告的内感受、特质焦虑、新冠病毒相关担忧与健康保护行为不同方面的横断面和纵向关系。方法:以社区265名成人为调查对象。这两个数据收集阶段分别在匈牙利2019冠状病毒病大流行第二波之前(基线)和期间在线进行。结果:与我们的预期相反，保护行为和自我报告的内感受指标之间既没有横断面联系，也没有纵向联系。然而，即使在控制了社会经济特征和基线保护行为之后，基线担忧预测了第二次浪潮中的保护行为。结论:我们的研究结果强调，当避免威胁的行为步骤已知且可用时，健康相关担忧的适应性。此外，在这些情况下，较高水平的感知内感受似乎对健康没有保护作用。
