Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore defiant attitudes to Covid-19 restrictions against a backdrop of Health Behaviour Theories, so as to gain further understanding of such behaviour and target it accordingly. In an attempt to limit the mortality and morbidity of the pandemic, health authorities are encouraging and enforcing the adherence to restrictive measures. Still, defiant attitudes persist. Possible reasons for these attitudes include an unappreciation of possible consequences and feelings of helplessness. The psychiatric nurse has a specific toolkit that is crucial in addressing these thought processes and behaviours—this shall be explored.
