ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyze the factors affecting personal prevention maneuver (PPM) compliance in adolescents. The data were collected from 278 students enrolled in 3 different high schools in Busan between November 15-30 in 2018 through a self-report questionnaire survey, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression. The predictors for personal preventive maneuver compliance include the level of knowledge of personal prevention maneuver, carry of a toilet paper, length of handwashing time, and frequency of handwashing with soap (R2=.221, p<.001). The results suggest that health education for infectious disease prevention could become more efficient when the contents on individual personal preventive maneuver (PPM) are added to the curriculum including proper use of toilet paper and soap and sufficient handwashing time.
