Abstract

The study examines the influence of perceived susceptibility on attitude, perceived behavioural control and intention to COVID-19 self-assessment among older adults. Although COVID-19 self-assessment has become a preventive tool for detecting sickness, limited studies have examined older adults’ behavioural intention to self-assessment in Malaysia. Thus, how older adults react via attitude, behavioural control and their intention to self-assessment remains elusive. The study used online survey to help gather data from older adults who are 55 years and above. Questionnaires had drafted based on the past studies’ validated measurements. The sampling method applied in this research is snowball sampling. The study analysed the data via SPSS (Statistical Software Package for Social Science) for descriptive analysis and hypotheses testing based on 200 responses. The study tabulated constructs’ reliability values, and assessed path coefficient value via multiple regression. The study can influence the intention to self-assessment of older adults and also to improve the awareness of older adults about the importance of self-assessment.
