“…Such findings differ from the findings of the recent studies (e.g., Andarge et al, 2020;Aschwanden et al, 2021;Shubayr et al, 2020) which established positive association between subjective norm and healthprotective behaviors during COVID-19. TPB literature confirms that the association between subjective norm and intention is the weakest (Ajzen, 1991;Armitage & Conner, 2001) because people are more likely to act in accordance with their personal beliefs rather than conforming to the beliefs of others (Stiff & Mongeau, 2016).…”

Management of COVID‐19 largely depends on the reporting of suspected or confirmed positive cases. This study examined public's suspect report intention during COVID‐19 using and extending the theory of planned behavior by adding two incident‐specific variables such as perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation. Direct association of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with suspect report intention and moderating role of perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation were probed. This study also investigated whether the moderation of perceived severity of COVID‐19 (primary moderator) varies with different level of fear of retaliation (secondary moderator) using moderated moderation analysis. Analyzing data collected from 554 Indian citizens provides evidence that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with suspect report intention. Perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation negatively moderated such associations. When fear of retaliation was high, high perceived severity of COVID‐19 did not positively moderate the association of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with suspect report intention. Perceived behavioral control was the most potent facilitator and fear of retaliation was the strongest inhibitor of suspect report intention. Understanding people's suspect report intention can assist in implementing awareness programs to encourage suspect report intention and stop the community spread of COVID‐19.

“…PSC also negatively moderated PBC-SRI relationships contradicting the findings of recent studies (e.g., Andarge et al, 2020;Aschwanden et al, 2021;Shubayr et al, 2020). Even when perceiving COVID-19 as severe, people's PBC was negatively associated with SRI.…”

“…These results demonstrate the importance of individual beliefs like perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norm in understanding why some people engage in a behavior while others do not, which supports the general hypotheses of the TPB (6). Our findings are in line with previous research on TPB and general health behaviors (13,15,16,18) as well as COVID-19 related preventive behaviors (23,24,39,40). In the context of the ongoing pandemic, these results highlight how the public's beliefs about perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norm of preventive health behaviors are associated with whether they engage in those behaviors and thereby reduce the spread of coronavirus.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious and potentially fatal infectious disease that has swept the globe. To reduce the spread, it is important to engage in preventive behaviors recommended by health authorities, such as washing your hands, wearing a face mask, and social distancing.Aim: In the present study, we draw from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine the associations between perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norm and whether people engage in eight different preventive behaviors.Methods: For each of the preventive behaviors (washing hands; using hand sanitizer; not touching your face; social distancing; wearing a face mask; disinfecting surfaces; coughing in your elbow; staying home if sick), we conducted separate logistic regressions predicting whether the participants (N = 2,256; age range = 18–98 years) reported engaging in the behavior from their perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norm.Results: We found that perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norm had independent significant associations with each preventive behavior. Moderation analyses revealed that for most behaviors the associations with perceived behavioral control were stronger for older adults than for younger adults.Limitation: The present study was cross-sectional; future longitudinal studies and interventions are needed to disentangle directionality.Conclusion: Our findings suggest several ways to increase adherence to health behaviors that reduce the spread of coronavirus and other infectious diseases.

“…First, the results showed that the more positive the attitude toward infection control, the higher the performance of COVID-19 infection control. This is consistent with two studies on COVID-19 27 , 28 and a study related to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). 19 Attitudes or individual positions on specific events or diseases and knowledge about disease affect decisions about physical health and health promotion behaviors.…”

Purpose Many patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are asymptomatic or infected by unclear infection routes. Significant group infections may result from transmission in schools, and thus, it is necessary to improve infection control efficiency in schools by identifying the factors associated with the performance of COVID-19 infection control by school health nurses. Methods The participants were 130 school health nurses in Korea. The survey variables included knowledge of COVID-19, infection control attitude, job stress, and school organizational culture. Results The results demonstrated that among the variables, infection control attitude, job stress, and the level of infection control in schools perceived by school health nurses were significant. The explanatory power of the model including these variables was 25.8% (F=14.39, p <0.001, R 2 =0.255, Adj-R 2 =0.258). Conclusion The results showed that the infection control attitude and job stress of school health nurses had a significant effect on their infection control performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results will be used as basic data for developing programs to enhance the competence of school health nurses to manage new infectious diseases.
