Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine how health locus of control and the fear of getting Covid-19 influenced compliance to the Public Health Agency of Sweden’s recommendations during the corona pandemic. A survey with convenience sampling was carried out with a questionnaire that was posted online. The data was gathered between 24/11–1/12, 2020. The survey was taken by 227 individuals. It consisted of five parts with 35 items in total that included information on demographic variables, the reasonability of the recommendations, compliance with the recommendations, fear of getting Covid-19 and health locus of control (HLOC). A multiple regression
analysis showed that chance HLOC and powerful others HLOC were significant
predictors of... (More)

Abstract (Swedish)
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur health locus of control och rädsla för att drabbas av Covid-19 påverkade följsamheten till Folkhälsomyndighetens
rekommendationer under coronapandemin. En surveyundersökning med
bekvämlighetsurval genomfördes med en enkät utskickad på Facebook. Data
insamlades under perioden 24/11–1/12, 2020. Enkäten besvarades av 227 personer. Enkäten bestod av fem delar med sammanlagt 35 punkter/påståenden som omfattade demografiska data, rekommendationernas rimlighet, följsamhet till rekommendationerna, rädsla för att drabbas av Covid-19 och health locus of control(HLOC). En multipel regressionsanalys visade att chance HLOC och powerful others HLOC var signifikanta prediktorer för följsamhet till... (More)

En multipel regressionsanalys visade att chance HLOC och powerful others HLOC var signifikanta prediktorer för följsamhet till rekommendationerna medan intern HLOC inte var det. Den starkaste prediktorn för följsamhet till rekommendationerna var emellertid rädsla för att drabbas av Covid-19. (Less)
