ABSTRACT

Purpose: To identify the factors that were associated with hand-hygiene practices among community residents during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: This secondary analysis included the data of 222,831 adults (aged ≥19 years) who participated in the 2021 Community Health Survey. Adherence to hand-hygiene practices was defined by responses of “always” or “often” to questions regarding handwashing before meals, after toilet use, and after returning from outdoors. Data were analyzed using complex sample analysis. Furthermore, descriptive statistics, Rao-Scott x 2 tests, and multiple logistic regression were performed. Results: In this cohort, the prevalence of hand-hygiene practices was 87.0%. Higher hand-hygiene practice was associated with being female; older age; higher education and equivalized household income; urban residence; non-smoking and non-drinking status; regular tooth brushing; better perceived health status; and higher perceived susceptibility and severity regarding COVID-19. Conclusion: Despite the emphasis on hand hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic, some residents did not comply with hand-hygiene practices. Targeted education and promotion to improve hand-hygiene practices are needed among groups with lower adherence.
