Reducing touching eyes, nose and mouth (‘T-zone’) to reduce the spread of infectious disease: A prospective study of motivational, volitional and non-reflective predictors
Background
The route into the body for many pathogens is through the eyes, nose and mouth (i.e., the ‘T-zone’) via inhalation or fomite-based transfer during face touching. It is important to understand factors that are associated with touching the T-zone to inform preventive strategies.
Purpose
To identify theory-informed predictors of intention to reduce facial ‘T-zone’ touching and self-reported ‘T-zone’ touching.
Methods
We conducted a nationally representative prospective questionnaire study of Canadians. Respondents were randomized to answer questions about touching their eyes, nose, or mouth with a questionnaire assessing 11 factors from an augmented Health Action Process Approach at baseline: intention, outcome expectancies, risk perception, individual severity, self-efficacy, action planning, coping planning, social support, automaticity, goal facilitation and stability of context. At 2-week follow-up, we assessed HAPA-based indicators of self-regulatory activities (awareness of standards, effort, self-monitoring) and self-reported behaviour (primary dependent variable).
Results
Of 656 Canadian adults recruited, 569 responded to follow-up (87% response rate). Across all areas of the ‘T-zone’, outcome expectancy was the strongest predictor of intention to reduce facial ‘T-zone’ touching, while self-efficacy was a significant predictor for only the eyes and mouth. Automaticity was the strongest predictor of behaviour at the 2-week follow-up. No sociodemographic or psychological factors predicted behaviour, with the exception of self-efficacy, which negatively predicted eye touching.
Conclusion
Findings suggest that focusing on reflective processes may increase intention to reduce ‘T-zone’ touching, while reducing actual ‘T-zone’ touching may require strategies that address the automatic nature of this behaviour.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the British Journal of Health Psychology is to publish original research on various aspects of psychology that are related to health, health-related behavior, and illness throughout a person's life. The journal specifically seeks articles that are based on health psychology theory or discuss theoretical matters within the field.
