Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

INTRODUCTION: While traditional "non-medical" prevention and control measures have achieved remarkable results during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have generated difficult situations for older adult patients with chronic disease. The purpose of this study was to understand and identify the COVID-19 risk perception process and trajectory among older adults with chronic disease living in the community.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a qualitative research study that used in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of 21 older adult patients with chronic disease. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis methods.

RESULTS: Three themes emerged: restricted travel, psychological shock and panic, and unintended consequences.

CONCLUSIONS: The perceptions of epidemic risk among older adult patients with chronic disease living in the community had varying characteristics at different stages. Correct identification of risk perception processes and trajectories will assist in formulating more scientific emergency measures in the event of future public health emergencies.
