目的探讨坚持预防行为与COVID-19感染风险的关系。方法本病例对照研究,通过便利抽样选择了491名参与者。首先,选择病例组(COVID-19患者)的样本,然后根据年龄将对照组与病例组相匹配,性别,和职业。病例组诊断COVID-19的标准是自我报告的PCR检测阳性或胸部CT扫描的肺部受累。描述性统计被用来总结结果,使用95%置信区间(CI)和p<0.05计算比值比以量化关联的大小.结果结果表明,与那些总是戴着面具的人相比,未使用口罩的患者感染SARS-CoV-2的风险为3.153倍(95%CI:0.953-10.434),偶尔使用口罩的患者感染SARS-CoV-2的风险为3.779倍(95%CI:1.929-7.37).从未观察到身体距离和洗手的参与者患COVID-19的可能性是一直观察到的参与者的2.25倍(95%CI:1.719-4.954;OR=2.258)。结论未能遵循保护措施的参与者,尤其是戴着面具,不管它的类型,感染COVID-19的风险更高。因此,建议一致使用面膜,特别是在COVID-19波的高峰期。
Aim To investigate the relationship between adherence to preventive behaviors and risk of COVID-19 infection. Methods In this
case-control study, 491 participants were selected through convenience sampling. First, the samples of the
case group (COVID-19 patients) were selected, and then the control group was matched with the
case group based on age, gender, and occupation. The criteria for diagnosing COVID-19 for the
case group were self-reported positive PCR test or lung involvement on a chest CT scan. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results, and an odds ratio was calculated to quantify the magnitude of the association using a 95% confidence interval (CI) and a p<0.05. Results The results showed that, compared to those who always wear a mask, the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 was 3.153 times higher in those who used no masks (95% CI: 0.953-10.434) and 3.779 times higher in those who used masks occasionally (95% CI:1.929-7.37). The participants who never observed physical distancing and handwashing were 2.25 times more likely to get COVID-19 than those who always observed (95% CI:1.719-4.954; OR=2.258). Conclusion Participants who fail in following the protective measures, especially wearing a mask regardless of its type, had a higher risk of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use a mask consistently, especially during the peak of COVID-19 waves.
