| Abstract | Currently, the use of herbal medicine for self-care has increased significantly. In particular, due to the COVID-19 situation, there has been an increase in the use of Andrographis paniculata to relieve primary symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine behaviors of using A. paniculata and factors related to self-care with A. paniculata during the COVID-19 pandemic of people in Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province. Data were collected from 432 respondents from December 2020 to January 2021 by questionnaires that were developed based on the concept of the health belief model and theory of planned behavior. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression statistics were used for data analysis. The results showed that 17.82 percent of respondents had a higher frequency of using A. paniculata during the COVID-19 pandemic period compared to before the pandemic period. The capsule dosage form of A. paniculata was the most used, followed by fresh green A. paniculata. The factors related to the higher frequency of using behavior were statistically significant that include the following by age group of 40-59 years (Adjusted OR = 1.96, 95%CI: 1.06-3.64), having a fever, cough, sore throat during the COVID-19 pandemic (Adjusted OR = 6.11, 95%CI: 3.38-11.04), the perceived severity of COVID-19 infection (Adjusted OR = 1.16, 95%CI: 1.05-1.27) and in conformity to the reference group (Adjusted OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.00-1.14). It is therefore recommended that healthcare professionals should disseminate knowledge on properties and correct use of A. paniculata. There should also be more effective health communication strategies to decrease public anxiety during the pandemic. |
