Dissemination of Prevention of the Spread of COVID 19 through the 7 Slum Indicators Approach in Cirebon City

Abstract

Slum areas are known to be incubators of disease because they are occupied by high density residents. This activity aims to conduct dissemination in slum settlements in 11 urban villages (Kesenden, Kebonbaru, Pegambiran, Jagasatru, Pulasaren, Drajat, Sunyaragi, Karyamulya, Argasunya, Harjamukti, and Kecapi) with the theme of Prevention of the spread of COVID-19 through the 7 slum indicators approach. The methods applied in this activity were lecture along with question and answer. This activity was implemented by carrying out health protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 wherein there were only 30 participants attended in each village who were required to wear masks and keep social distancing. This dissemination activity was limited to only 2 hours, effective from 08.30 to 11.00 a.m. Based on the results of the activity implementation, basically most of the people had a fairly good knowledge on COVID-19, but not all had a good attitude since there were some people who thought that the virus mostly attacks the middle to upper class. There was also indifference attitude towards government recommendations since they thought that God determines their health status.

Penahelix integrated health protocol education model for Covid-19 pandemic handling based on Tri Hita Karana

“…The Bali Provincial Government enforces the PSBB policy based on the region, both Regency/City and District, based on the severity of the outbreak, whose assessment is determined by the central government through the Ministry of Health. Although there are rules that regulate community activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still many people who do not follow the health protocols recommended by the government, such as not washing their hands and not using masks when traveling so that the transmission of COVID-19 occurs so quickly due to a lack of public awareness in implementing 3 M, namely, wearing masks, washing hands and keeping a distance (Fakhira et al 2021;Fariatul Aeni et al 2022;Patilaiya et al 2019). With the increasing number of cases of patients exposed to COVID-19 and the attitude of the public who are indifferent to the threat of COVID-19, the government of Indonesia has prepared various regulatory frameworks, institutional frameworks, and financing frameworks, which are not only in response to the health emergency response conditions with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
