The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has caused a major health crisis, requiring the implementation of various public health measures in order to slow the spread of the virus and reduce the associated mortality. However, the success of these measures depends on people's acceptance of them. This research aimed at understanding people's representations of COVID-19 and its crisis management, and ultimately at understanding their attitudes toward health measures for counteracting the spread of COVID-19 in Reunion Island together with the behaviours expected of them.
Using Random Digit Dialling, a qualitative study was conducted with 53 inhabitants between February and May 2021. The COREQ checklist was followed. A dual textometric and manual thematic analysis was adopted in order to identify representations of COVID and the management of the crisis.
Some respondents perceived COVID-19 as a serious disease, while others saw it as a banal virus or even doubted its existence. A perceived ineffectiveness of public health measures and the incompetency of public actors predominated in the participants' discourse.
Thus, there was a considerable lack of trust and negative attitudes toward health measures, possibly influencing people's acceptance and explaining numerous controversies. This research examines the importance of considering people's representations of the health situation in order to improve people's acceptance of protective measures.
冠状病毒大流行（COVID-19）引发了一场重大健康危机，需要实施各种公共卫生措施以减缓病毒传播并降低相关死亡率。然而，这些措施的成功取决于人们对它们的接受程度。本研究旨在了解人们对COVID-19及其危机管理的认知，最终了解他们对留尼汪岛防控COVID-19传播的健康措施的态度以及期望他们采取的行为。
2021年2月至5月期间，采用随机数字拨号法对53名居民进行了定性研究。遵循COREQ清单。采用了文本计量和手动主题分析相结合的方法来识别对COVID的认知和危机管理情况。
一些受访者认为COVID-19是一种严重疾病，而另一些人则认为它是一种普通病毒，甚至怀疑其存在。参与者的话语中普遍存在对公共卫生措施无效性的认知以及对公共行为者能力的质疑。
因此，人们对健康措施存在相当程度的不信任和消极态度，这可能影响人们的接受程度，并解释了众多争议。本研究探讨了考虑人们对健康状况的认知对于提高人们对保护措施接受程度的重要性。
