The study was conducted at Cavite State University-Main Campus, College of Nursing,
Department of Medical Technology from September 2020 to June 2021. Specifically, this study
aimed to 1) determine the level of compliance of respondents; 2) determine the perceived
factors that may contribute to the behavioral changes of the respondents; 3) determine a
significant relationship between the demographic profile of respondents and their level of
compliance; 4) determine the safety measures followed by the individuals in accordance with
the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force protocol and the number of people who comply with the
safety protocols. A descriptive correlational study of quantitative research was used in the study
to determine the behavioral changes in complying with safety measures against Covid- 19. The
questionnaire given to the male ages 21-29 years old of selected five barangays in Trece
Martires, Cavite was conducted to underscore their behavioral changes in complying with safety
measures. The data were coded and analyzed according to the research questions. Data analysis
revealed that there is a low correlation demographic profile of the respondents that affects their
level of compliance. It implies that they were aware of the negative effects of the quarantine on
people's emotions and behaviors, and they used ways to avoid this. The respondents were
concerned about their health and safety as a result of the COVID- 19, they washed their hands
or rubbed them with alcohol frequently to always, maintained physical distance, wore masks,
and stayed at home, doing some relaxation activities, discussing their anxieties with relatives.
Most of the participants are following the health protocols that Inter-Agency Task Force
implemented, on the contrary, more people are not obeying the protocols that were
implemented.
The respondents manifested a significant positive moderate correlation in compliance to
the government's guidelines and health directives for protecting themselves and adopted
practices to maintain their physical and there is significant positive moderate correlation in
mental health during the lockdown. However, this study focused only on the relationship of the
behavioral changes of individuals under quarantine before and during the pandemic and their
adaptation to the compliance of safety measures against COVID-19.
