Abstract

Background and purpose: The global prevalence and morbidity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are high. preventive behaviors are proven to reduce the damage caused by the disease. There is a paucity of information on determinants of preventive behaviors in response to COVID-19 in Mazandaran province, north of Iran. So, we aimed to evaluate protection motivation theory (PMT) in promoting preventive behaviors of COVID-19 in Mazandaran province. Materials and methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 1220 individuals participated. They were selected via social networks using convenience sampling in 2020. Data were collected online using a demographic questionnaire and a valid and reliable scale based on PMT. Data analysis was done using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression in SPSS V24. Results: Mean age of the participations was 39. 34± 8. 74 years. Regression model showed perceived threat (ß =0. 033, P =0. 007), perceived costs (ß =0. 039, P=0. 045), perceived self-efficacy (ß =0. 116, P>0. 001), and perceived fear (ß =0. 131, P>0. 001) as the significant predictors of COVID-19 preventive behaviors. This model accounted for 78% of the variance in these behaviors. Conclusion: According to constructs of the PMT associated with protection against COVID-19, educational programs and health promotion based on the theory and benefiting from social networks could be helpful in increasing the motivation of people towards protective behaviors of COVID-19.
