| description | The study was conducted to stablish the association between knowledge of preventive measures and concern about COVID-19 infection and lifestyle changes in the Peruvian population during the health emergency. This was an analytical and cross-sectional study, with a voluntary non-probabilistic sample of 1101 Peruvian population over 18 years old, who answered the digital questionnaire between June and July 2021. The questionnaires 'Knowledge about preventive measures on COVID-19', PRE-COVID-19 and 'changes in lifestyles during the pandemic', instruments validated in the Peruvian population, were used. To determine the association of the variables, chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used, considering changes in lifestyles as the dependent variable. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The descriptive analysis showed that 50.8% were not worried about COVID-19 infection, 72.2% knew about preventive measures and 56.4% stated that they had changed their lifestyles during the pandemic. A connection was found between educational level (p=0.000), having a job (p=0.048) and being worried about COVID-19 infection (p=0.001) with changes in lifestyle. In the regression analysis, technical/higher education (95% CI=1.51-2.67) and being worried about COVID-19 infection (95% CI=1.71-1.91) were associated with lifestyle changes during the pandemic. The greater the degree of education and concern or fear of COVID-19 infection, the greater the lifestyle changes. Funding Information: This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Conflict of Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. Ethical Approval: The present study was approved by the ethics committee of the Universidad Peruana Unión. Informed consent was granted by all participants; this part was the first option to start the digital survey. |
