“…in Thailand and Philippines found that age was one of the most influenced COVID-19 prevention behaviors (Arceo et al, 2021;Rojpaisarnkit et al, 2022). Moreover, age significantly correlated with self-defense behaviors from COVID-19 (Choorust et al, 2022) and was a predictor of wearing a face mask in Indonesian people (Laksono et al, 2020).…”

“…Older people aged 60 and above wear face masks more than other age groups, consistent with the study in Mexico's adults that older people had better preventive health behavior than other age groups (Sánchez-Arenas et al, 2021 ), which also supported that individuals wearing a mask increased significantly with age (Haischer et al, 2020 ). In addition, a study in Thailand and Philippines found that age was one of the most influenced COVID-19 prevention behaviors (Arceo et al, 2021 ; Rojpaisarnkit et al, 2022 ). Moreover, age significantly correlated with self-defense behaviors from COVID-19 (Choorust et al, 2022 ) and was a predictor of wearing a face mask in Indonesian people (Laksono et al, 2020 ).…”

“…The questionnaire was developed based on a literature review of research and theories to assess psychosocial factors and behavioral responses, and compliance with the restriction measures to prevent and control the transmission of COVID-19 (Rojpaisarnkit, 2016 ; Thomas et al, 2020 ; Fakhira et al, 2021 ; Latkin et al, 2021 ; Rojpaisarnkit et al, 2022 ). The questionnaire used in this study included six questions related to personal attributes and one question related to mask-wearing behaviors.…”

“…People in Thailand were encouraged to protect themselves and their communities by applying basic health measures such as mask wearing, handwashing, and physical distancing to prevent COVID-19 transmission (World Health Organization, 2020 ). Thai people affirmatively responded to wearing face masks to prevent viral transmission from both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals (Rojpaisarnkit et al, 2022 ). Since the outbreak of coronavirus, wearing a face mask outside the home has become mandatory, and it is a new behavior among Thai people.…”

ObjectivesFace mask wearing is a standard preventive measure, in addition to handwashing and physical distancing. Individuals may find that wearing a face mask protects their physical health and prevents viral transmission. However, none of the studies in Thailand identified factors associated with face mask-wearing behaviors among Thai people. Therefore, this study aims to determine factors affecting face mask-wearing behaviors to prevent COVID-19.MethodsThis research is analytical survey research. The data used in this study were under the project title “The assessment of psychosocial and behavioral response and compliance to restriction measures to prevent and control COVID-19: A series of the rapid survey.” A total of 6,521 people participated in an online survey by multi-stage sampling. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the factors associated with face mask-wearing behaviors.ResultsAfter adjusting for independent variables (i.e., gender, age, education, career, smoking, and comorbidity disease), the bivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, age, and career were statistically significant to the face mask-wearing behaviors (p < 0.05). Level of education, smoking, and comorbidity disease were not statistically significant with face mask-wearing behaviors among Thai people.ConclusionFurther study should explore broader on individual face mask perceptions and wearing in the continuing of COVID-19 across gender, age, and careers to better understand their health behaviors and to inform further policy. In addition, the development of an intervention to promote face mask wearing should target men who age below 30 yrs. and did not work in government services careers as this group of the population was likely not to wear a face mask outside the home.
