BACKGROUND: Due to an unavailability of a vaccine, one of the efficient methods to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is by applying self-isolation (SI). Hence there is an urgent need to investigate the factors leading to an individuals’ willingness to choose to self-isolate. OBJECTIVES: The current study utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a conceptual model and aimed to investigate the extent to which subjective norms, personal attitudes and perceived control influences an individual’s willingness to self-isolate during COVID-19 risk. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was performed on 800 Saudi respondents aged≥18 years by using a validated self-administered questionnaire about factors related to willingness to self-isolate during COVID-19 pandemic risk based on the TPB. The effects of different variables on SI were analyzed by using ordinal logistic regression model. RESULTS: A total of 756 (94.5% ) were completed and analyzed. Subjective norms and perceived control over the behavior significantly (p <  0.05) influenced the intention of willingness to self-isolate, while attitude was found to be insignificant. The odds of letting others to know about self COVID status were 2.40 times higher than not telling the neighbors or colleagues. A statistically significant difference (p≤0.001) existed between males and females regarding the willingness to self-isolate. Similarly the odds of willingness to self-isolate with a presence of disabled person in family were 2.88 times higher than the absence of a disability in the family. Few recommendations for the policymakers that are needed to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection are also proposed. CONCLUSION: The outcomes of study might be considered as an initial understanding of the factors that significantly influences an individual’s willingness to SI when facing an unprecedented pandemic risk. Additionally, these factors provide a plan for policymakers to encourage citizens for self-isolation during pandemic infections.

Abstract Background: Rural-to-urban migrant workers are susceptible to hepatitis B (HB) because they lack self-protection awareness and social support. The present study aimed to investigate the current status of risk behaviors (RB) regarding HB among migrant workers and the influencing factors defined by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed by two-stage cluster sampling from June to December 2018 in Chongqing, China. Logistic regression was adopted to explore factors associated with HB-related RB and behavioral intention (BI). Results: A total of 1299 migrant workers were recruited in the surveys, among whom 29.56% respondents have performed HB-related RB and 85.53% had the BI. 58.19%of respondents having sexual activities never wore a condom. The risk scores of attitudes towards behavior (AB), subjective norms (SN), experience of behavior (EB) and regret feeling (RF) were positively associated with BI, while the sores of AB, EB and BI were positively associated with RB.Conclusions: A considerable proportion of migrant workers have had HB-related risk behaviors or had the behavioral intention. Theory-grounded education, focused on the identified TPB variables, may play a significant role in improving the cognition and behaviors towards HB.

The Subject

Postpartum or puerperium begins 1 hour after birth of the placenta up to 6 weeks (42 days) afterwards. Parents, especially mothers, need to have the knowledge and readiness to conceive, give birth and breastfeed children. One of the factors that can cause maternal death is complications that occur during the puerperium. Postpartum complications of the highest incidence rate in Indonesia are bleeding and infection. This research is an observational analytic research with cross sectional approach. In the cross-sectional study, the researchers conducted observations or measurements of variables at one particular moment. Measurement of variables in one moment does not mean that all objects are observed exactly at the same time, but it means that each subject is observed only once and the measurement of the subject variable is performed during the examination. The results of research based on chi square test showed a significant influence that is attitude ρ = 0,18 where ρ > α (0,05) so that H0 accepted mean no attitude influence. The subjective norm ρ = 0.35> ρ > α (0,05) so that H0 is accepted which means there is no influence between subjective norms. Ability to control ρ = 0.12 > ρ > α (0,05) so that H0 is accepted which means there is no influence between the perception of control ability. Interest ρ = 0.96 > ρ > α (0.05) so that H0 is accepted which means there is no influence of interest. The most dominant fator is the education level, p = 0.03 > p < α (0.05) so that H0 is rejected which means there is an influence between the level of education in behavior on postpartum care at Rumah Sakit Ibu Anak Fauziah Tulungagung. The Health Service of Tulungagung through mother's hospital Fauziah is expected to socialize the community about postpartum care so that the public can express the problems especially the mothers without burdened by the existence of panisment such as influence in value and others.

Hospice is underutilized in the United States, and many patients enroll for short periods of times. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify significant predictors of intentions to use hospice in community-dwelling older adults. The Theory of Planned Behavior informed the selection of predictors. Data were collected from 146 White older adults ( M age = 69.5; 69% females). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that higher hospice knowledge, normative beliefs that support hospice utilization, higher perceived control to use hospice, and preferences for end-of-life care that favor comfort and quality of life over living as long as possible were significant predictors of intentions to use hospice. In spite of being a sample of mostly highly educated older adults, almost half did not know about funding for hospice. These results provide better understanding of where to focus interventions to educate older adults about hospice, ideally in advance of a crisis.
