“…Pregnant women who had adequate knowledge about COVID-19 were 1.7 times more likely to adhere to COVID-19 preventive practice than pregnant women who had inadequate knowledge about COVID-19. This finding was supported by studies conducted in Debre Berhan [ 36 ] and Debre Tabor, Ethiopia [ 29 ]. This might be due to women who had prior knowledge about the pandemic including the benefits of preventive measures may apply it to protect themselves and their families against the pandemic.…”

“…This finding is lower than studies conducted in Nigeria 79.2% [ 35 ] and studies done in some parts of Ethiopia such as Gurage zone, 76.2% [ 31 ], Debre Berhan, 56.1% [ 36 ]. The possible reason for this discrepancy could be due to the difference in the study setting, variation in measuring outcome variable, and sociodemographic characteristics of the study participants.…”

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes more than five million deaths worldwide. Pregnant women are at high risk for infection due to the physiologic change in the immune and cardiopulmonary system and also it increases the risk of severe disease, intensive care unit admission, and receive mechanical ventilation when compared with non-pregnant women. It is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. So pregnant women need to have adhered to preventive measures to prevent COVID-19 related consequences. Therefore, this study aimed to assess adherence toCOVID-19 preventive practice and associated factors among pregnant women in Gondar city, northwest Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1st to 30th, 2021, in Gondar city. A cluster sampling technique was employed to select 678 pregnant women. Data were collected using a pre-tested, face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were entered into EPI DATA version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify associated factors. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to report the association between covariates and the outcome variable. Results The prevalence of good adherence to COVID-19 preventive practice was 44.8% (95% CI: 41.3, 48.7). Maternal age (≤24 years) [AOR = 2.89, 95% CI: 1.37, 6.10], maternal education (secondary school) [AOR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.58, 5.53] and (college and above) [AOR = 4.57,95% CI: 2.42, 8.62], having ANC follow up [AOR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.35, 6.46] and adequate knowledge towards COVID-19 [AOR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.41] were significantly associated with good adherence to COVID-19 preventive practice. Conclusion In this study, adherence towards COVID-19 preventive practice in pregnant women is low. Hence, it is important to strengthen women’s awareness about COVID-19 through different media and health education. In addition, empowering women to attain ANC and special consideration should be given to women who had no formal education.

“…Therefore, people in a higher educational level could improve their knowledge and adopt positive preventive practices. Our results support the finding of the literature that chronic conditions are associated with higher level of compliance [26][27][28]. This finding is not surprising since it is well known that negative outcomes of COVID-19 (e.g.…”

Background: Considering the major effects of COVID-19 pandemic on health, social, economic, and political dimensions of all countries, positive attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic are essential to control the pandemic. In our study, we investigated attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic among fully COVID-19 vaccinated individuals two years after the pandemic and we identified predictors of attitudes. Materials and Methods: We conducted an on-line cross-sectional study with 815 fully COVID-19 vaccinated individuals in Greece during May 2022. A self-administered and valid questionnaire was disseminated through social media platforms. We measured socio-demographic variables and COVID-19-related variables as potential predictors of attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic. The outcome variable was attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic (compliance with hygiene measures, trust in COVID-19 vaccination, fear of COVID-19, and information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination). Results: We found a very high level of compliance with hygiene measures, a high level of trust and information about the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination, and a moderate level of fear of COVID-19. Also, we identified that females, participants with a higher educational level, those with a chronic disease, those with a better self-perceived physical health, and those without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis adhered more in hygiene measures. Trust in COVID-19 vaccination was higher among females, older participants, those with a higher educational level, those with a better self-perceived physical health, and those without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis. Moreover, females, older participants, those with a higher educational level, those with a chronic disease, those with a better self-perceived physical health, those that received a flu vaccine in previous season, and those without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis experienced more fear of the COVID-19. Finally, level of information regarding COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination was higher for participants with a higher educational level, those without a chronic disease, those with a better self-perceived physical health, and those that received a flu vaccine in previous season. Conclusions: Understanding predictors of attitudes toward COVID-19 pandemic among fully vaccinated individuals is crucial for developing appropriate public health campaigns in the future. Vaccination should be accompanied by positive attitudes in order to decrease the frequency of negative outcomes of COVID-19, such as hospitalization, complications and mortality.

World Health Organization (WHO) menentapkan COVID-19 sebagai pandemi sebagai akibat dari pesatnya penularannya. Ibu hamil menjadi salah satu kelompok rentan tertular COVID-19 karena adanya perubahan fisiologis dan imunologis pada ibu hamil, sehingga memungkinkan resiko yang lebih besar pada kelompok ini. Pandemi akan memotivasi seseorang untuk berperilaku protektif sebagai upaya pencegahan. Namun demikian, fakta menunjukkan masih tingginya kasus COVID-19 ibu hamil menjadi salah satu indikator lemahnya kepatuhan ibu hamil terhadap protokol kesehatan yang ada. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gambaran perilaku kepatuhan ibu hamil terhadap protokol kesehatan selama masa pandemi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Literature Review jenisnya Narrative Literature Review. Database yang digunakan diantaranya Google Scholar dan Scopus. Pencarian artikel menggunakan keyword sebagai berikut: persepsi ibu hamil AND penerapan protokol COVID-19, Sikap AND Pengetahuan ibu hamil terkait protokol COVID-19, Persepsi AND Sikap ibu hamil tentang protokol COVID-19. Hasil akhir pencarian didapati 11 artikel yang memenuhi syarat kredibilitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepatuhan ibu hamil dalam penerapan protokol COVID-19 dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan, sikap dan persepsi terkait COVID-19. Ketiga aspek tersebut saling berkaitan, dengan pengetahuan yang baik akan menghasilkan sikap dan persepsi yang baik, begitupula sebaliknya. Pengetahuan yang baik akan mendorong ibu hamil untuk bersikap positif dalam penerapan Protokol COVID-19, dan meningkatkan keyakinan ibu hamil untuk patuh terhadap protokol COVID-19.
