Abstract
COVID-19, a worldwide pandemic, has posed a significant
challenge to public health systems worldwide. Health risk
perception and efficacy belief are primary constructs influencing
individuals' protective behavior due to the outbreak. Our study
investigated each item of illness risk perception, efficacy belief, and
its related factors concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. An
analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 227
respondents aged 17 to 70. Data collection was conducted using
convenience sampling by distributing the web questionnaire
between April and July 2020. Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis
bivariate analysis was performed using SPSS version 21.0 to assess
the relationship between individual characteristic factors, illness
risk perception, and efficacy belief. The study established that
respondents had a medium to a high level of illness risk perception
and a reasonable efficacy belief in dealing with the COVID-19
pandemic. Region (p=0.027) and occupation (p=0.036) differences
were significantly associated with the threat and severity
perception, respectively. Smoking history (p=0.037), supplement
use (p=0.029), and occupation (p=0.018) differences were
significantly associated with self-efficacy. Meanwhile, gender
(p=0.045) differences were significantly associated with response
efficacy. Therefore, the public's illness risk perception and efficacy
belief could be substantial in planning, modifying, and
implementing a coordinated response for risk communication in
current and future epidemics.
