Aims: COVID-۱۹ is rapidly expanding around the world and is one of the most important health problems. The purpose of the study was to determine preventive behaviors from COVID-۱۹ and its determinants based on some constructs of the Health Belief Model. Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on ۲۵۰۴ citizens of Rafsanjan in ۲۰۲۰ that were randomly selected by cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a behavior and Health Belief Model constructs (HBMs) researcher-made questionnaire based on the Internet. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by ten specialists, and its reliability was assessed by Cronbachchr('۳۹')s alpha coefficient. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS ۱۸ by applying statistical tests such as Pearsonchr('۳۹')s correlation coefficient, independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and linear regression. Findings: The means score of knowledge, attitude, perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and preventive behavior were ۸۳.۱۳±۱۰.۷۲, ۸۱.۱۷±۸.۵۵, ۷۹.۲۸±۱۷.۱۹, ۷۴.۴۷±۱۴.۶۵, ۸۴.۳۲±۱۶.۱۱, ۶۹.۲۷±۱۴.۳۱, and ۸۷.۳۵±۱۱.۱۶, respectively. There was a significant correlation between preventive behaviors with knowledge, attitude, and HBMs (p<۰.۰۰۱). The attitude was the strongest predictor for adopting preventive behaviors (B=۰.۴۴۶, p<۰.۰۰۱). In total, knowledge, attitude, and HBM constructs predicted ۳۶.۸% of the preventive behaviors for COVID-۱۹. Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between adopting preventive behaviors for COVID-۱۹ with knowledge, attitude, and HBM constructs.
