|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Background: Protective behavior is recommended for prevention of Covid19. However the existing gap is no reliable evidence of protective behavior in southern urban areas in Iran. This study performed to estimate the prevalence of face mask usage and shield use among pedestrians in the Abadan, Khoramshahr and Shadegan southern city of Iran.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study was carried out from June to August2021 in southwestern urban papulation of Iran. In this study 7425 pedestrians were selected from 85 neighborhoods. Sampling was conducted by using a multi-stage method. The data were collected by observation passers in street with checklist and analyzed by SPSS26 statistical and WINPEPI Software. The acceptable significance level was p-value < 0.05.
Results: 55.4% of the subjects were male. The prevalence of face mask usage was (3990) 53.8% (95% confidence interval, 52.7-55). In general, the correct use of the face mask and shield were (38.5% and 0.4%) respectively. The use of a face mask was higher in men than women (54.3 vs. 53%). Pedestrians under 10 year (39.2%) and over 70 year (44.7%) had the lowest use of the mask. face mask use was higher in the evening and night (58.1% vs. 54.3%), and there was a significant relationship between the use of the face mask and age (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of use of face mask is relatively low. So the possibility of control the infection might be difficult. Promoting media literacy, emphasizing the perceived benefits of preventative behavior and setting rules may improve mask use. |
