The purpose of this study is to analyze the long terms trends in public attitudes toward the COVID-19 pandemic and compliance with self-quarantine regulations.
Repeated cross-sectional studies looking into data collected from nationally representative samples (N = 2568) of the adult population in Israel at five points in time representing the five morbidity waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined public trust in Israeli health regulations, levels of public panic, feelings of personal worry, and compliance with health regulations, specifically self-quarantine.
Public trust in health regulations in January 2022 is at an all-time low (25%) compared to the maximum value of nearly 75% measured in March 2020. While reported worry is steadily reducing, the perception of public panic is increasing. In earlier rounds, public compliance with self-quarantine was reported close to 100%; however, it has dropped to 38% by January 2022 when compensation is not assumed. Regression analysis suggests that trust is a major predictor of compliance with health regulations.
The "fifth wave" of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about an all-time low in public trust in health regulations. The Israeli public, normally a highly compliant one, is showing signs of crumbling conformity.
本研究旨在分析公众对 COVID-19 大流行的态度和对自我隔离规定的遵守情况的长期趋势。
本研究采用重复横断面研究方法，对以色列全国代表性样本（N=2568）在 COVID-19 大流行的五个发病波次中的五个时间点收集的数据进行分析。本研究考察了公众对以色列卫生法规的信任度、公众恐慌程度、个人担忧感以及对卫生法规（特别是自我隔离）的遵守情况。
与 2020 年 3 月接近 75%的最高值相比，2022 年 1 月公众对卫生法规的信任度处于历史最低点（25%）。虽然报告的担忧感在稳步下降，但公众恐慌感却在上升。在早期阶段，报告的自我隔离遵守率接近 100%；然而，当没有补偿时，这一比例在 2022 年 1 月降至 38%。回归分析表明，信任是遵守卫生法规的主要预测因素。
COVID-19 大流行的“第五波”导致公众对卫生法规的信任度降至历史最低点。以色列公众通常非常遵守规定，但现在开始出现违反规定的迹象。
