“…Here, health belief refers to an individual's subjective belief about certain diseases or preventative behavior, and consists of perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers (Becker, 1974 ). Thus far, the health belief model has been used to explain many health behaviors, including smoking cessation, influenza vaccination, and self‐examination for breast cancer (Hong et al, 2004 ; Y. H. Kim et al, 2017 ; M. K. Kim & Kim, 1990 ).…”

Extensive research on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is underway. However, there are not many studies on the use of masks, which are essential for infection prevention. This descriptive study aimed to understand the factors influencing the use of masks by Korean adults during COVID‐19. We conducted an online survey with 280 adults in South Korea between August and September 2020, analyzing the data using SPSS version 24.0. Multiple regression analyses were performed to understand the factors that influence individuals' use of masks. The participants' perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, other people's dignity, compliance with public order, reasonable decision making, and subjective norms explained 21.6% of mask use. Mask use is expected to increase further if people perceive a personal need to wear masks, if their peers perceive the importance of mask use, and if they possess civic consciousness that considers society as a whole. This paper makes a significant contribution to the field of public health, with evidence‐based recommendations for increasing mask use, going beyond simply attributing mask use to individual preferences.

“…by the previously examined factors, namely perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers, would more effectively comply with preventive health behaviors (Kim et al, 2017). In particular, cues to action were reported to have a more significant impact amid high perception of a health threat as well as benefits and low perception of barriers.…”

“…Cues to action are a behavioral predictor that refers to the intention or readiness that leads to external health behaviors (Glanz et al, 2008). Moreover, providing cues to action for individuals whose health beliefs have been altered by the previously examined factors, namely perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers, would more effectively comply with preventive health behaviors (Kim et al, 2017). In particular, cues to action were reported to have a more significant impact amid high perception of a health threat as well as benefits and low perception of barriers.…”

We developed a psychometric scale based on the Health Belief Model to predict preventive behaviors against emerging respiratory infectious diseases and verified its validity and reliability. Initial items on five constructs of the Health Belief Model were derived through focus group interviews and a literature review. These items were revised and supplemented through expert consultation to verify content validity. Data were collected from June 27, 2021, to July 5, 2021. We used the data of 201 adults aged 19–65 years for item analysis and assessment of construct, convergent, and discriminant validities and reliability. The final Health Belief in Emerging Infectious Respiratory Disease Preventive Behaviors' Scale (HB‐EIRD Preventive Behaviors' Scale) included 23 items on five factors, and cumulative explanatory variation was 63.0%. The fit indices were acceptable. Cronbach's α was 0.77. The scale can be scored 23–92; a higher score indicates stronger preventive behaviors. The HB‐EIRD Preventive Behaviors' Scale can be used to evaluate patients' health beliefs and predict preventive behaviors against emerging respiratory infectious diseases. This foundational knowledge can facilitate disease prevention and promote public health measures.

“…Cues to action can effectively motivate individuals to engage in preventive health behaviors, even when their health beliefs have been changed due to perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. 9 In particular, action cues have a strong impact when perceived threats and benefits are high, and perceived barriers are low. 10 Similarly, in this study action cues significantly predicted adherence to preventive behaviors amid high perceived benefits and low perceived barriers.…”
