BACKGROUND: Globally, the number of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 confirmation cases shows an exponential increase. In South Sumatera province, Indonesia, reported positive confirm cases in March 2020 as many as 5 cases, and within 2 months there was an increase to 196 times (982 cases) confirmation cases in May 2020. Transmission prevention practice is essential to inhibit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the number of cases. Based on past studies, COVID-19 transmission prevention practice is affected by community characteristics, level of knowledge and attitudes, but there is no study conducted in Indonesia. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 transmission prevention practice. METHODS: The study was conducted with cross-sectional study approach. The sample is the people lived in South Sumatra who filled out the questionnaire through the Google form application, total 1187 people. Data were collected by snowball method during the period of April 18–30th 2020. Data were analyzed statistically using multiple logistic regression tests. RESULTS: The result of this study found that four variables significantly affected COVID-19 transmission prevention practice. They were occupation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.128; p < 0.01), gender (OR: 1.309; p < 0.05), knowledge (OR: 1.782; p < 0.01), and attitude (OR: 2.059; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The dominant factor affecting COVID-19 transmission prevention practice is attitude and knowledge. Hence, it is necessary to increase community knowledge about COVID-19 better to change people’s attitudes toward COVID-19 transmission prevention so they can implement good COVID-19 transmission prevention practice.

The disease burden related to non-communicable diseases is a major public health problem in Indonesia. About one-third of all deaths in Indonesia are caused by cardiovascular disease. This study describes the cost of cardiovascular disease from claims data for Advanced Referral Health Facilities at BPJS Kesehatan before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed claims data on the National Health Insurance system managed by BPJS. The data comes from referral health facilities throughout Indonesia in 2019 and 2020. Cardiovascular service claims data by sex and age group were analyzed descriptively and with different tests between years. There was a decrease in the number of patients accessing cardiovascular services at referral health facilities for all genders, age groups, and types of main diagnoses, by around 27.8%, from 933,017 (2019) to 673,801 (2020). There was a significant decrease in total claims for all types of cardiovascular disease during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before, especially the reduction in aneurysms and aortic dissection (40.2%) and hypertensive heart disease (39.6%). The decline also occurred in all sexes and age groups, with an average percentage decline of 31.2%. Our findings show that the reduction in the cost of cardiovascular disease claims goes hand in hand with the decrease in the number of cardiovascular patient visits. To guarantee treatment for cardiovascular disease patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, BPJS can maximize the telemedicine services that have been built. The organizer of the National Health Insurance program in Indonesia has developed a JKN mobile application that has the potential for telemedicine services guaranteed by JKN. On the other hand, BPJS needs to limit promotive and preventive budgets related to CVD so that it does not become a potential catastrophic financing.
