Resumen
Objective: The current study integrated Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and extended Theory of
Planned Behavior (TPB) to evaluate factors affecting the perceived effectiveness of COVID-19 prevention
measures among Filipinos during Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Luzon, Philippines.
Methods: A total of 649 Filipinos answered an online questionnaire, which contained 63 questions.
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized to derive the causal relationships of the latent variables
construct.
Results: SEM showed that understanding of COVID-19 had significant direct effects on perceived
vulnerability and perceived severity. Also, perceived vulnerability and perceived severity had significant
indirect effects on intention to follow. Intention to follow had significant direct effects on actual behavior
and adapted behavior, which subsequently led to perceived effectiveness. Of note, an understanding of
COVID-19 was found to have a significant indirect effect on perceived effectiveness.
Conclusions: The current study is one of the first studies to analyze factors affecting the perceived
effectiveness of COVID-19 prevention measures during the global pandemic. It is proposed that the
integrated PMT and extended TPB of this study can be applied and extended to evaluate the perceived
effectiveness of COVID-19 measures in other countries that are currently dealing with COVID-19 pandemic.
