A Study on the Impact of COVID-19 SMS on Preventive Behavior-Focused on the Confirmed Patients Notification SMS-

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The Republic of Korea is still a good example of k-prevention which SMS played a big role in real time. Therefore, the effect of SMS and covid 19 preventive behavior was studied.

Methods/Statistical analysis: The survey respondents were focused on university students in the Chungnam region of Korea. The number of survey respondents was 135, 53 male students, 39.3%, and 82 female students, 60.7%. Looking at the distribution by grade, the fourth year was the most with 66 students and 48.9%, followed by the third year with 29 students and 21.5%, and the second year with 22 students and 16.3%.

Findings: Looking at the table3 shaded areas, the CFA result of AVE.5 or less and CR.7 or less, perceived sensitivity and perceived disability, did not secure concentration validity. -As a result of CFA, the main concepts for this study were found to be inappropriate for analyzing the research model. Accordingly, analysis is performed using regression analysis rather than structural equations. The diagonal matrix for each factor in italics is the variance extraction index. The correlation between subjective norm and behavioral intention was highest (r=.703), perceived benefit (r=.655), perceived seriousness (r=.493), perceived sensitivity (r=.491) It also shows a significant relationship with the back. However, there was no significant relationship between perceived disability and behavioral intention. As a result of conducting multiple regression analysis of the concepts constituting the health belief model as an independent variable with behavioral intention as a dependent variable, self-efficacy (β=.439, p<.001) and perceived benefit (β=.321, p) Only<.001) appears to have a significant effect.

Improvements/Applications: The SMS is helpful in preventing one's own health that the perceived benefit affects the preventive behavior. Therefore, the local governments that send the SMS is helpful in the position of the recipient.
