Keywords:
Buddhist monks, preventive behavior, COVID-19Abstract
This research aimed to study the preventive behavior against COVID-19 and its related factors among Buddhist Monks. A multi-stage sampling process yielded 120 monks. The instrument included questionnaires for sociodemographic, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy, and preventive behavior against COVID-19. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, and Point Biserial Correlation. The results revealed that the samples had a high level of preventive behaviors against COVID-19 (M = 85.88, S.D.=10.29). The behaviors related significantly (p < .01) with perceived self-efficacy (r = .415), perceived benefits (r = .414), perceived susceptibility (r = .403), and perceived severity (r = .227)
