Résumé
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to unprecedented morbidity and mortality across the world. Chronic disease patients of urban poor neighbourhoods are one of the most vulnerable population subgroups as the number of cases and deaths increase exponentially in India. The study aims to explore the factors associated with desirable health behaviours among chronic disease patients availing care from a primary health facility and examine their association with the COVID-19 preventive behaviour. A cross-sectional study was conducted among chronic disease patients attending a health centre in an urban area of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. A interviewer administered semi-structured questionnaire was pilot tested and validated prior to initiation of data collection. A total of 520 patients were enrolled for the study. Poor adherence to health behaviour was observed among a majority of the respondents (infrequent physical activity: 72.0%, one or less fruit serving per day: 96.5%, one or less vegetable serving per day: 88.8%). A factor analysis revealed three domains of COVID-19 preventive behaviour: sanitisation, preventive hygiene and social distancing. Multiple regression revealed respondents opting for COVID-19 screening and those with lower salt intake followed the overall and individual COVID-19 preventive behaviour. The health behaviour assessment and inter-personal counselling by the health care providers at the primary health facilities may contribute to the increasing adherence for the COVID-19 preventive behaviour among chronic disease patients.

Background
UNASSIGNED
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to unprecedented morbidity and mortality across the world. Chronic disease patients of urban poor neighbourhoods are one of the most vulnerable population subgroups as the number of cases and deaths increase exponentially in India. The study aims to explore the factors associated with desirable health behaviours among chronic disease patients availing care from a primary health facility and examine their association with the COVID-19 preventive behaviour.
Material and Methods
UNASSIGNED
A cross-sectional study was conducted among chronic disease patients attending a health centre in an urban area of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. A interviewer administered semi-structured questionnaire was pilot tested and validated prior to initiation of data collection. A total of 520 patients were enrolled for the study.
Results
UNASSIGNED
Poor adherence to health behaviour was observed among a majority of the respondents (infrequent physical activity: 72.0%, one or less fruit serving per day: 96.5%, one or less vegetable serving per day: 88.8%). A factor analysis revealed three domains of COVID-19 preventive behaviour: sanitisation, preventive hygiene and social distancing. Multiple regression revealed respondents opting for COVID-19 screening and those with lower salt intake followed the overall and individual COVID-19 preventive behaviour.
Conclusion
UNASSIGNED
The health behaviour assessment and inter-personal counselling by the health care providers at the primary health facilities may contribute to the increasing adherence for the COVID-19 preventive behaviour among chronic disease patients.
