Abstract

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, China has actively adopted measures for epidemic control and prevention to block further spreading, and gained favorable effect in epidemic control. However, individual behaviors still may hinder prevention and control to certain degree and may affect psychological states of the surrounding people as well. In accordance with research findings of public emergencies as well as study and analysis on public health events, this paper sets up a model with four factors of information, risk, budget and effective prevention, and puts forward relevant assumptions. The questionnaire with Likert scale is designed in accordance with assumptions and former research findings, and offered to personnel and experts with regard to epidemic prevention and control for interview. This paper collects the questionnaire, applies SPSS25.0 software for statistical analysis, and verifies assumptions based on statistical results to get significant correlation and significant impacts among four factors. Then, corresponding suggestions and countermeasures are proposed in line with the conclusion.
