Introduction: Implementing health protocols became a challenge for older adults living in rural area. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing implementation of COVID-19 health protocols among elderly in rural areas based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Methods: This study used an explanatory survey with cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 100 older adults who resided in rural areas. Data were collected using the TPB questionnaire and COVID-19 health protocol questionnaire, both have 21 items. The data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis used Pearson correlation, Chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test. Multivariate analysis used multiple linear regression with a level of significance = 0.05. The independent variables were attitude toward behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control while the dependent variable was the implementation of COVID-19 health protocols. Results: Gender (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.001), employment status (p < 0.001), attitude toward behavior (p < 0.001), subjective norm (p < 0.001) and perceived behavioral control (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the implementation of COVID-19 health protocols, while education level (p = 1.000) was not significantly associated with the implementation. The R-square shows 0.610 which indicates that TPB model can predict 61% of implementation of COVID-19 health protocols. Conclusions: The most dominant factor in increasing the implementation of the COVID-19 health protocol is attitude toward behavior. Nurse need to provide education to elderly and their family to increase the implementation of COVID-19 health protocols as prevention of transmission of COVID-19.
The use of chemical insecticides in the long term and high frequency will suppress insects (mosquitoes) and vectors to be tolerant until resistant. Reports of resistance from various species of mosquitoes found in multiple countries even occur in Indonesia in Surabaya. This study aimed to analyze the effect of granules bioinsecticides on the mixture of srikaya seeds (A. squamosa) and betel leaf (P. beetle) on the histopathology of mice (M. musculus) using true-experimental (the post-test only group design). Sample taken by simple random sampling and grouped into each control group and the treatment group totaling 25 mice. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression test. The results showed an overall p-value >0.05, meaning that there was no bioinsecticide effect of a mixture of betel leaf granules (Piper beetle) and srikaya seeds (Annona squamosa) on the histopathology of the kidney of mice (Mus musculus). Required safety testing of target animals in addition to mice and a preliminary examination is needed before the research is conducted so that the results are valid Keywords: bioinsecticide; histopatology; Mus musculus
