Countrywide lockdown or stay-at-home order has been implemented to slow down the transmission of emergent coronavirus. However, the influence on attitudes and lifestyle due to lockdown amidst the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the influence on attitudes and lifestyle due to lockdown amidst the COVID-19 pandemic among Bangladeshi residents.
A cross-sectional survey carried out involving 1635 community dwellers across eight divisions in Bangladesh conducted from April 15, 2020 to May 10, 2020. A structured questionnaire incorporating socio-demographic, attitudes towards lockdown and adverse lifestyle amidst lockdown measures was employed to collect data using the Google Forms. Multiple regression analyses were executed to determine the associated factors of positive attitudes towards lockdown and adverse lifestyle.
The mean scores of attitudes towards lockdown were 67.9 (SD = 8.4) out of 85 with an overall correct rate (positive attitudes) of 79.9%; whereas the mean scores of adverse lifestyle amidst lockdown were 16.1 (SD = 4.8) out of 34 with an overall rate of 47.4%. The factors associated with more positive attitudes towards lockdown included being female, divorced, higher educated, and students. Conversely, being male, having no formal education, and rural residence were associated factors of adverse lifestyle amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings reflect how the COVID-19 lockdown has preciously impacted the attitudes, and lifestyle of Bangladeshi citizens, which will contribute to promoting appropriate measures during a subsequent zonal or complete lockdown.
为减缓新型冠状病毒的传播，全国范围内实施了封锁或居家令。然而，在2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，封锁对人们态度和生活方式的影响却鲜为人知。本研究旨在调查在COVID-19大流行期间，封锁对孟加拉国居民态度和生活方式的影响。
于2020年4月15日至2020年5月10日对孟加拉国八个行政区的1635名社区居民进行了横断面调查。使用谷歌表单，采用一份包含社会人口统计学、对封锁的态度以及封锁措施期间不良生活方式的结构化问卷来收集数据。进行多元回归分析以确定对封锁持积极态度和不良生活方式的相关因素。
对封锁态度的平均得分在85分中为67.9分（标准差 = 8.4），总体正确率（积极态度）为79.9%；而封锁期间不良生活方式的平均得分在34分中为16.1分（标准差 = 4.8），总体比例为47.4%。对封锁持更积极态度的相关因素包括女性、离异、受教育程度较高以及学生。相反，男性、未接受过正规教育和农村居住是COVID-19大流行期间不良生活方式的相关因素。
研究结果反映了COVID-19封锁如何切实影响了孟加拉国公民的态度和生活方式，这将有助于在随后的区域或全面封锁期间推广适当的措施。
