Abstract

Abstract During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, governments adopted measures to contain the disease, whose adherence is determined by multiple factors. In order to guide more effective prevention strategies, the present study aimed to identify predictors of adherence behavior to the COVID-19 pandemic control guidelines. A survey was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample composed of 2,705 Brazilians, who answered an instrument with six questionnaires (adherence to the pandemic control measures, emotions, empathy, altruism, coping, and biodemographic), whose data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. It was found that the agreement with the guidelines of the World Health Organization for pandemic control, disagreement with the position of the country’s president, altruism, coping capacity, belonging to the risk group, and having close contact (at home) with people from the risk group are predictors of adherence behavior. It is concluded that preventive actions must consider these variables for greater effectiveness.

遵守COVID-19大流行控制指南的预测因素

在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间，各国政府采取了多项措施来控制疾病，其依从性是由多种因素决定的。为了指导更有效的预防策略，本研究旨在确定遵守COVID-19大流行控制指南行为的预测因素。对2,705名巴西人进行了非概率抽样调查，他们填写了六份问卷(遵守流行病控制措施、情绪、同理心、利他主义、应对和生物统计学)，并使用描述性和分析性统计对其数据进行了分析。与世界卫生组织(who)的防疫方针一致、与国家总统的立场不一致、利他主义、应对能力、属于危险群体、与危险群体密切接触(在家)等是依从性行为的预测指标。结论是，预防行动必须考虑到这些变数，以取得更大的效力。
