Factors Related to Preventive Behaviors for Influenza Infection in Persons with Coronary Artery Disease
Keywords:
associated factors, preventive behavior, influenza, coronary artery diseaseAbstract
This descriptive correlational research aimed to examine factors related to influenza preventive behaviors among patients with coronary artery disease by applying the PRECEDE model, which includes predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors. The sample consisted of 101 patients receiving treatment at tertiary hospitals in Bangkok, namely King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital, and Police General Hospital. Participants were selected through multistage sampling between July and November 2024. Data were collected using seven sets of questionnaires. Content validity was assessed by five experts, with Content Validity Index (CVI) ranging from 0.80 to 0.98. Reliability was tested among 30 patients with similar characteristics at the cardiology clinic of Police General Hospital, yielding Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.72 to 1.00. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
The results showed that participants had a relatively high influenza preventive behaviors ( = 42.58, SD = 4.82). Positive correlations were found between preventive behaviors and attitude toward influenza (r = 0.405, p < .01), perceived risk of infection (r = 0.335, p < .01), and access to health information and services (r = 0.242, p < .05).
The findings demonstrated that these factors are essential in promoting influenza preventive behaviors among patients with coronary artery disease.
