Introduction: COVID-19 spread rapidly, but little is known regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) against COVID-19 among residents from various regions in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, practice and attitudes related to COVID-19 to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of this major outbreak in Indonesia. Methods: Online survey with convenience sampling was conducted among urban and rural residents in West Nusa Tenggara Province, and collected 523 questionnaires through online media. The instruments used in this research are demographic information, such as age, gender, educational level, marital status and area of residence (urban or rural) and knowledge, attitude and practice questionnaires. Results: The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level (p=0.01), gender (p=0.00) and age (p=0.03) had a significant effect on knowledge about COVID-19. Residential area (urban) affects practices related to COVID-19 (p=0.00). Furthermore, knowledge of COVID-19 (p=0.00) and area of residence (urban) (p=0.00) are closely related to residents’ attitudes toward preventive measures that can control this disease. Conclusions: Both urban and rural residents of West Nusa Tenggara Province displayed moderate levels of knowledge as well as the practice of COVID-19 and showed the disease with a positive attitude. Developing suitable education programs targeted at the general residents in West Nusa Tenggara Province is essential to increase knowledge, attitudes, as well as practices of COVID-19, especially for rustic and low-educated citizens.
Sleep is one of the basic human needs. Patients who are sick often need more sleep and rest than healthy people. Inadequate sleep and poor sleep quality can result in disturbed physiological and psychological balance. One of the factors that can affect the quality and quantity of sleep is the ambient temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between environmental temperature and the fulfillment of the sleep needs of patients in the inpatient room. This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all inpatients class III North Lombok Regency Emergency Hospital. The sampling technique used accidental sampling with a sample size of 71 people. Data analysis using Chi-Square. The results showed that the environmental temperature of the North Lombok Emergency Hospital was in the high category, namely 53.5%. Most of the patients' sleep needs were in the insufficient category, namely 67.6%. There is a relationship between ambient temperature and the need for the sleep of patients in the Emergency Hospital of North Lombok Regency with an X2 value of 34.054 with a p-value of 0.000 (p <0.05). The conclusion in this study is that the environmental temperature affects the patient's sleep needs, where the higher the ambient temperature, the patient's need for sleep becomes disturbed or insufficient. Suggestions in this study can provide a reference in improving service to patients, especially increasing the patient's sleep needs such as facilities and infrastructure (air conditioning and ventilation) so that the room temperature is not hot.
