Purpose
This study was performed to identify the affecting factors on health behavior of university students during pandemic Influenza A (H1N1). Method: The participants in this study were 283 students in H university. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires in September, 2009. The collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 18.0. Result: The percentage of correct answers regarding knowledge of Influenza A (H1N1) was 34.6%. Risk perception and compliance of health behavior were very poor, $17.92{pm}6.26/30$ and $2.00{pm}1.68/9$, respectively. There was a positive correlation among knowledge, risk perception and health behavior. Knowledge and risk perception of Influenza A (H1N1) and intention of getting an influenza vaccination for this year explained 16.3% of variance in health behavior. Conclusion: An educational program focusing on strategy to enhance university students' knowledge and risk perception of Influenza A (H1N1) would be effective in improving their health behavior against it. |
