Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection prevention behaviors vary from individual to individual, and it is necessary to identify factors related to such behaviors. This study investigated how college students' social beliefs and health beliefs are related to their adherence to COVID-19 precautionary behaviors. An online survey was conducted among 200 Korean college students from 4 March to 30 June 2022. The variables associated with COVID-19 precautionary behaviors were evaluated, with social beliefs as the independent variable, health beliefs as the mediating variable, and COVID-19 precautionary behaviors as the dependent variable. A correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The model fit was as follows: χ/degrees of freedom = 1.64 ( < 0.001), Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.92, comparative fit index = 0.93, standardized root mean square residual = 0.06, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.06. Social complexity, as perceived by college students, was related to COVID-19 precautionary behaviors through mediating health beliefs (perceived benefits). To increase college students' compliance with COVID-19 precautionary behaviors, it is necessary to identify social beliefs and accordingly propose interventions that focus on personal health beliefs.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的感染预防行为因人而异，因此有必要确定与此类行为相关的因素。本研究调查了大学生的社会信念和健康信念如何与他们对COVID-19预防行为的依从性相关。2022年3月4日至6月30日，对200名韩国大学生进行了在线调查。以社会信念为自变量、健康信念为中介变量、COVID-19预防行为为因变量，对与COVID-19预防行为相关的变量进行了评估。进行了相关性分析和验证性因素分析。模型拟合情况如下：卡方/自由度 = 1.64（<0.001），塔克-刘易斯指数 = 0.92，比较拟合指数 = 0.93，标准化根均方残差 = 0.06，近似根均方误差 = 0.06。大学生所感知到的社会复杂性通过中介健康信念（感知益处）与COVID-19预防行为相关。为了提高大学生对COVID-19预防行为的依从性，有必要确定社会信念，并据此提出关注个人健康信念的干预措施。
