Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic plays a key role in people's behavior worldwide, especially, during the measures of locking down and social distancing, the demand for food delivery increased worldwide. To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, the food delivery riders require to have good self-care behaviors during working. Therefore, this research aims to assess the self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19 among food delivery riders and determine the associations of demographic data of food delivery riders and self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19. This research employed online cross-sectional research involving 440 food delivery riders in Bangkok from October to November 2020. The findings showed that most food delivery riders had a high level of self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19 infection (M= 4.04, SD= 0.63). The factor associated with the self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19 infection was educational level (p< 0.05). This research provides an understanding of the level and factors associated with self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19 infection among food delivery riders. The healthcare providers, public health sectors, and food delivery companies are recommended to promote self-care behaviors among food delivery riders and necessary to have the effective health communication, health education or intervention to all food delivery riders by concerning about their educational background.

泰国送餐员预防COVID-19感染的自我保健行为

2019冠状病毒病大流行对世界各地人们的行为起着关键作用，特别是在采取封锁和保持社交距离措施期间，全球外卖需求增加。为了防止新冠病毒的传播，外卖骑手需要在工作期间养成良好的自我保健行为。因此，本研究旨在评估外卖骑手预防COVID-19的自我保健行为，确定外卖骑手人口统计数据与预防COVID-19的自我保健行为之间的关联。这项研究采用了在线横断面研究，涉及曼谷440名外卖骑手，时间为2020年10月至11月。研究结果表明,大多数食品交付乘客有一个高水平的自我照顾行为预防COVID-19感染(M = 4.04, SD = 0.63)。影响自我保健行为预防感染的因素为文化程度(p< 0.05)。本研究为外卖司机预防COVID-19感染的自我保健行为的水平和相关因素提供了理解。建议医疗服务提供者、公共卫生部门和外卖公司促进外卖骑手的自我保健行为，并有必要通过关注其教育背景对所有外卖骑手进行有效的健康沟通、健康教育或干预。
