Abstract

BACKGROUND: Since early 2020, the global community has been battling a pandemic caused by coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19. In response to the pandemic, preventive behaviors have been widely applied regardless of the sociocultural, economic and educational status of individuals. However, studies related to its implementation have not been completely reviewed to identify the implementation as well as the determining factors for COVID-19 preventive behaviors.

AIM: This review aimed to synthesize evidence from existing studies about the implementation of COVID-19 preventive behaviors, its determinants, and its measurement tools

METHODS: This study employed a scoping approach using five electronic databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, SAGE Journals, ProQuest, and EBSCOhost). The screening is guided by a PRISMA flowchart.

RESULTS: Around 27 articles were included in this review with 26 of 27 selected articles incorporating cross-sectional research design and only a study using a three-wave prospective correlational design. Four sub-themes were identified to describe the preventive behaviors implementation, namely: (1) Personal preventive measures, (2) community preventive measures, (3) immune boosting, and (4) self-screening and medication. In addition, determinant factors of COVID-19 preventive measures are also identified as such (1) socio-demographic factors, (2) social psychological factors, (3) health status factors, and (4) enabling factors.

CONCLUSION: The aspects of COVID-19 preventive behavior implementation include personal and community preventive measures, immune boosting, and self-screening/medication. These measures are affected by multifactorial. Further research needs to be focused on intervention development to improve the adherence of the preventive measures by considering reported determinants factors.
