Abstract：
In Thailand, strict prevention and control strategies have been implemented to mitigate the rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). \"New normal\" guidelines and a series of mobile health applications have been introduced by the healthcare sector and implemented to aid the disease control monitoring and prevention of widespread outbreaks. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding \"new normal\" guidelines and quality of life (QOL) among Thai people during the COVID-19 outbreak, and to determine the association between KA, QOL, and practices. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from 7 June to 12 September 2021 among Thai people in Public Health Region 6 aged ≥ 18 years old. Of the 506 survey participants, 80.3% were female, and 65.0% were 25-59 years old. The survey revealed that 52.2% of participants were classified as having more accurate knowledge, 58.9% were classified as having more positive attitudes, and 80.8% were classified as having more frequent practices regarding \"new normal\" guidelines, and 54.7% had high QOL. Of the participants, 93.7% agreed that \"people who have been fully vaccinated should wear a mask while outside,\" and 95.5% wore a face mask outdoors in crowded places. However, 60.9% of participants misunderstood some details regarding online applications for contact tracing and vaccination services, 44.2% felt that these applications were difficult to use, and 33.4% rarely or never downloaded or used these applications. In logistic regression analyses, accurate knowledge of COVID-19 was associated with higher education, being a government employee, monthly family income > 30,000 Thai Baht, and regular use of social media. More positive attitudes regarding \"new normal\" guidelines and high QOL were associated with positive practices. High QOL was associated with older age, and higher education. Enhancement of attitudes and QOL is also important for improving practices in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant factors identified in KAP will be crucial for developing effective prevention and control programs to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. To implement mobile health applications effectively, more work is required to improve the ease of use and promotion strategies.
摘要：
在泰国,实施了严格的预防和控制策略，以减轻2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的快速传播。“新常态”指南和一系列移动健康应用程序已由医疗保健部门引入并实施，以帮助疾病控制监测和预防大范围疫情。这项研究旨在评估知识，态度，在COVID-19爆发期间，泰国人关于“新常态”指南和生活质量(QOL)的做法(KAP)，并确定KA之间的关联，QOL,和实践。2021年6月7日至9月12日，在公共卫生6区18岁以上的泰国人中进行了一项在线横断面调查。在506名调查参与者中，80.3%为女性，25-59岁占65.0%。调查显示，52.2%的参与者被归类为拥有更准确的知识，58.9%被归类为有更积极的态度，80.8%被归类为对“新常态”指南有更频繁的做法，54.7%的人有较高的生活质量。在参与者中，93.7%的人同意“已经完全接种疫苗的人应该在外面戴口罩，“95.5%的人在拥挤的地方在户外戴口罩。然而,60.9%的参与者误解了有关接触者追踪和疫苗接种服务的网上申请的一些细节,44.2%的人认为这些应用程序难以使用，33.4%的人很少或从未下载或使用过这些应用程序。在逻辑回归分析中，对COVID-19的准确了解与高等教育有关，作为一名政府雇员，家庭月收入>3万泰铢,经常使用社交媒体。关于“新常态”指南和高生活质量的更积极的态度与积极的做法有关。高生活质量与年龄有关，和高等教育。在COVID-19大流行期间，提高态度和生活质量对于改善普通人群的做法也很重要。KAP中确定的重要因素对于制定有效的预防和控制计划以减轻COVID-19的传播至关重要。为了有效实施移动健康应用程序，需要做更多的工作来提高易用性和推广策略。
