This study aimed to evaluate the Jordanians' compliance rates in terms of personal hygiene habits in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized to collect data from 651 Jordanians via an electronic self-report questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software Results: The overall compliance rate for personal hygiene habits among Jordanians was 79 percent (11.85/15, SD = 9). Personal hygiene practices differ significantly across age groups (F = 2, 89, p = .04), gender (t = 5.18, p = .003), marital status (F = 3.09, p = .029), and being a member of a healthcare specialty (t = -2.20, p = .028). Gender, educational level, occupation, and living place were statistically significant predictors for compliance with personal hygiene habits. Compliance rates increased drastically (82 percent) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Compliance with personal hygiene habits among Jordanians was encouraging in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, there is a chance for more improvement to reach optimum levels of safe and healthy per-sonal hygiene habits. Healthcare authorities shall adopt change management programs and theories to target personal hygiene habits where opportunities for improvement are found.
本研究旨在评估约旦人在冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）大流行期间个人卫生习惯方面的依从率。
采用描述性横断面设计，通过电子自我报告问卷收集了 651 名约旦人的数据。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）进行数据分析。结果：约旦人个人卫生习惯的总体依从率为 79%（11.85/15，SD=9）。个人卫生习惯在年龄组（F=2，89，p=0.04）、性别（t=5.18，p=0.003）、婚姻状况（F=3.09，p=0.029）和医疗保健专业成员（t=-2.20，p=0.028）方面存在显著差异。性别、教育水平、职业和居住地点是个人卫生习惯依从性的统计学显著预测因素。对 COVID-19 的反应，个人卫生习惯的依从率大幅上升（82%）。
约旦人在应对 COVID-19 大流行期间，对个人卫生习惯的依从性令人鼓舞。尽管如此，仍有机会进一步改善，以达到安全和健康个人卫生习惯的最佳水平。医疗保健当局应采用变革管理计划和理论，针对发现有改进机会的个人卫生习惯进行目标管理。
