Background & Objectives: The widespread of Corona in the world is associated with psychological, social and economic consequences and has created harmful effects for individuals and human communities. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of demographic and social factors on the incidence of covid-19 disease and the level of health protocol compliance among patients in Nir city in 2019.
Materials & Methods: This research was a cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study that was conducted on all patients over 18 years of age with positive PCR and Rapid test results in Nair city. A total of 338 patients were examined. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. After data collection, descriptive statistical tests, U Whitney-Mann test were used using SPSS version 26 software to analyze the data with a significance level of 5%.
Results: The average age of the study participants was 45 years. 33% of patients with covid-19 had an underlying disease. There was a significant relationship (P<.001) between age, BMI and history of underlying diseases with hospitalization due to covid-19 and also between age and history of underlying diseases with death due to corona disease. And the average score of compliance with health protocols among patients before the disease was 70.50 with a standard deviation of 11.51.
Conclusion: In the current study, age, gender, education level, income, high BMI and history of underlying disease are among the factors influencing the incidence of covid-19 disease, hospitalization and death due to it. Identifying demographic factors and socio-economic factors in contracting the disease of covid-19 can help to prevent and control the disease. Considering the importance of following health protocols in disease prevention and control, it is necessary to design health education programs and implement interventions to promote this.
