Abstract
The objectives of this research are: (1) to examine community health behaviors during and after the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) to identify the factors influencing sustainable community health behaviors during the pandemic; and (3) to develop a model of sustainable community health behavior to support future disease outbreaks. A phenomenological qualitative method was applied through in-depth interviews with 44 participants. The data were analyzed using content analysis, including coding, categorization, and identifying key themes. Triangulation was used to ensure the validity of the findings. The findings revealed that: (1) community behaviors during and after the pandemic differed significantly in both social and psychological dimensions. The social and mental health aspects of community life have become part of the “new normal”; (2) seven factors were found to influence community health behavior: physical environment, psychological environment, personal psychological traits, perception of crisis-related information, crisis management, leadership, and governance; and (3) these factors were synthesized into a model of sustainable community health behavior for future public health crises. The model includes community-based crisis management, establishment of preventive measures, surveillance and screening, intercommunity collaboration, community checkpoints, mental health recovery systems, public health information sharing based on factual data, and the development of strategic health risk management plans emphasizing genuine community participation.
