Since the spread of the COVID-19 virus was declared a pandemic, different measures have been taken to control it, including frequent hand-washing, the use of face masks and social distancing. Given the importance of these measures, the present study aims to assess compliance with them in a Spanish sample of 722 people aged between 18 and 65 years. It also aims to determine which factors influence the levels of compliance observed. Participants complied more with the rules in the public spaces. The younger group had lower levels of compliance than the older group. No differences were found in accordance with sex. It was shown that overall, the agents that most influenced compliance were family, testimonials and friends and fines. Some differences were observed in relation to age, and significant sex differences were found in some of these factors, with women scoring higher than men. The results are discussed in terms of their usefulness for the design of information campaigns that seek to foster a greater degree of engagement by the entire population and, ultimately, greater control of the pandemic, in addition to serving as a basis for the early prevention of the spread of new viruses in the future.
自 COVID-19 病毒传播宣布为大流行以来，已采取了包括勤洗手、戴口罩和保持社交距离等不同措施来加以控制。鉴于这些措施的重要性，本研究旨在评估在 722 名年龄在 18 至 65 岁之间的西班牙人群中对这些措施的遵守情况。它还旨在确定影响所观察到的遵守水平的因素。参与者在公共场所更遵守规则。年轻组的遵守水平低于年长组。性别方面没有差异。结果表明，总体而言，最能影响遵守情况的因素是家庭、推荐人和朋友以及罚款。在与年龄有关的方面观察到了一些差异，在这些因素中的一些方面，女性的得分高于男性。讨论了这些结果在设计旨在促进全体人口更多参与并最终更好地控制大流行的信息宣传活动方面的有用性，此外，这些结果还可以作为未来预防新病毒传播的早期预防措施的基础。
