新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的出现带来了前所未有的卫生传播挑战。医疗保健提供者应加强限制大流行传播的行为，包括尽可能保持社交距离和呆在家里。正式的通信工具包可能没有及时编制。社区药师可以通过应用健康信念模型（HBM）来加强缓解行为。这篇评论提供了HBM的概述，并就社区药剂师如何在这些不确定的情况下将其用作患者沟通的指南提供了建议。
The emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic presents an unprecedented health communications challenge. Healthcare providers should reinforce behaviors that limit the spread of the pandemic, including social distancing and remaining in the home whenever possible. Formal communications toolkits may not be prepared in a timely fashion. Community pharmacists can reinforce mitigation behaviors by applying the health belief model (HBM). This commentary provides an overview of the HBM and offers suggestions on how community pharmacists can use it as a guide to patient communication in these uncertain contexts.
