To control the spread of COVID-19 transmission, Indonesia government has broadcasted information about the pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the understanding of young people, about COVID-19 during the early outbreak in Indonesia. An online-based cross-sectional data collection was conducted from adolescents aged 10 to 25 years, based on 10 questions regarding general COVID-19 information. There were 355 subjects from 25 out of 34 Indonesian provinces who participated in the study, with mean age of 19.93 ± 2.91 years. Better understanding was found in the female and higher-income population. Largely, the subjects got the information from social media, instead of the official government site for COVID-19. Lack of understanding about crucial preventive measures was found, such as handwashing and physical distancing. In conclusion, the participants have an overall moderate-good initial understanding toward COVID-19 during the early outbreak in Indonesia. These results can be used as baseline data for development of awareness measurement tools.

BackgroundThe preventive measure of Coronavirus Disease pandemic, such as nationwide lockdown, might lead to stress, depression, and anxiety, prominently in adolescents. Many factors were indicated to influence its severity. This study aimed to investigate the magnitude of COVID-19-related mental health problems in adolescents and the associated factors.Methods This cross-sectional study gathered 2018 adolescents throughout Indonesia from April 22nd-28th 2020. The questionnaire was spread through social media and included Kessler-10 Psychological Distress scale and closedended questions about the risk and protective factors. The results were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Logistic Regression. ResultsThe participants were mostly males (91.8%) with a median age of 19. The results showed 54.1% experienced varying degrees of distress. All variables were significantly related with psychological distress during Mann-Whitney-U and Kruskal-Wallis test. The logistic regression analysis showed maintaining or improving dietary pattern and sleep quality was found to be protective against psychological distress (OR = 0.497,95%CI = 0.34-0.725 and OR = 0.515,95%CI = 0.372-0.714, respectively), while others were risk factors, i.e.: Not having a confidant (OR = 1.539,95%CI = 1.226-1.931), frequent argument with parents (OR = 1.735,95%CI = 1.343-2.24), feeling worried (OR = 2.364, 95%CI1.528-3.656), chronic diseases (OR = 2.601,95%CI = 1.468-4.606), and mental illnesses (OR = 9.866,95%CI = 3.855-25.249). ConclusionMore than half of adolescents experienced distress. The findings called for initiatives by experts in providing psychosocial support for adolescents.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by SARS CoV-2. A health-related disaster may result in a wide range of mental consequences, including PTSD. IES-R is a self-reported instrument, and it corresponds to DSM-IV symptoms of PTSD. However, there were scarce data about the validation of the Indonesian version of IESR.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>The purpose of this study was to validate the IES-R in the Indonesian adult population by comprehensively and systematically assessing the epidemiological evidence about PTSS during the COVID-19 pandemic<strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a cross-sectional study. The IES-R questionnaire was translated from English to Indonesian, back-translated. All health workers were excluded to avoid the biased result. Pearson correlation and Cronbach's alpha coefficients to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 234 Indonesian-speaking adults completed the survey. The Indonesian IES-R had proven to be a valid (r= 0.756 -0.938, p= 0.000) and reliable (alpha coefficient: 0.858-0.868) measure for PTSS in a sample of Indonesian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the final model which consisted of 3 subscales with 20 items demonstrated acceptable factor loadings.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results of this study suggested IESR is valid and reliable to be used in the Indonesian population especially during pandemics.</p>
