Abstract
This research was devoted to a test of the relationship between knowledge about the disease COVID -19 and the personal preventive measures by Pearson correlation and regression analysis. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire distributed in Basra governorate and the number of participants was 1000 individuals. Cronbach Alpha coefficient to ensure the reliability of the was calculated and its value (0.735) indicates the reliability of the research tools. The demographic data and responses of the participants were statistically described and the null hypothesis was tested (there is no effect of knowledge about COVID-19 on people’s commitment with preventive protocol) using the spss program. The Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be 0.6 indicating positive correlation between the test variables. Regression analysis showed that the dependent variable ( Yi3 : Avoid touching the face, nose and eye with unclean hands or after touching surfaces and objects. ) is the most affected one in the personal prevention factors by the variables listed in the disease knowledge factor.
