What is the primary goal of contact tracing in public health?

Contact tracing is an important public health process focused on controlling and preventing the spread of infectious diseases, especially infectious diseases that can spread rapidly from person to person, such as COVID-19. The main goal is to identify people who have been in close contact with infected patients so that they can get tested and quarantined to prevent further transmission to others. It is important to notify and advise contacts so that they are aware of the risks and strictly follow preventive measures such as wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and washing hands frequently.

Social network theory: Used to analyze relationships between individuals to identify potential high-risk contacts. Behavior change theory: Used to design communication strategies and provide advice to those exposed to bring about desired behavioral changes. Principles of infectious disease control: These are the basic principles used in controlling infectious diseases, such as patient detection, patient isolation, patient treatment, and disease prevention.

What did participants report feeling after learning they were exposed to COVID-19?

When a person is notified that they have been exposed to COVID-19, the first thing that comes to mind is uncertainty and anxiety about their own health. This is because COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can cause severe illness in some people. In addition, those who have been notified must worry about the safety of those around them that they have been in close contact with, which could lead to the spread of the infection.

Appraisal Theory: This theory states that human emotions are formed by how a person evaluates a situation for its importance to him or her and whether it is consistent with his or her goals and beliefs. In the case of being notified of exposure to COVID-19, a person assesses the situation as a threat to his or her health and safety, leading to anxiety. Stress Theory: When faced with a threatening situation, such as being notified of exposure to COVID-19, the body responds with a stress reaction, which results in changes in mood and behavior, such as feeling anxious, worried, and tense.
