OBJECTIVES
Compliance with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) guidelines, including the use of masks and social distancing and vaccinations, has been poor. Our study examined what factors may identify those who will be more or less compliant, especially in regard to those with identified higher risk.
METHODS
A telephone survey of 200 adult patients from two practices, one general internal medicine and the other rheumatology, was performed in May and June 2021. Questions included age, sex, perception of immunocompetence, smoking history, mask and social distancing compliance, COVID-19 symptoms and/or test-proven infection, and immunization status for COVID-19. Those agreeing to participate also underwent chart review for body mass index, physician-assessed immunocompetence, and diabetes mellitus.
RESULTS
No clinical factors approached statistical significance for the prediction of compliance or noncompliance. Compliance with mask and social distancing highly correlated with vaccination and avoidance of infection, however.
CONCLUSIONS
Attempts to improve compliance cannot be focused on any of the particular groups examined in this study.
目的
对 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）指南的遵守情况，包括口罩使用、保持社交距离和接种疫苗，情况一直很差。我们的研究旨在探讨哪些因素可能会识别出更遵守或更不遵守规定的人，特别是针对那些已确定具有更高风险的人。
方法
2021 年 5 月至 6 月，对两家诊所（一家普通内科诊所和一家风湿病科诊所）的 200 名成年患者进行了电话调查。问题包括年龄、性别、对免疫能力的认知、吸烟史、口罩和保持社交距离的遵守情况、COVID-19 症状和/或经检测证实的感染以及 COVID-19 的免疫接种状况。同意参与的患者还接受了体重指数、医生评估的免疫能力和糖尿病的病历审查。
结果
没有任何临床因素接近对遵守或不遵守规定的预测的统计学意义。然而，口罩和保持社交距离的遵守情况与接种疫苗和避免感染高度相关。
结论
试图提高遵守率的努力不能集中在本研究中检查的任何特定群体上。
