“…In addition to dealing with large numbers of patients, working overtime and using PPE also may cause health workers to get tired quickly (Battista, Ferraro, Piccioni, Malzanni, & Bussi, 2021;Shaukat, Ali, & Razzak, 2020). In addition, PPE deficiency has also occurred in Indonesia (Tosepu et al, 2021). Therefore, very high-quality PPE is required for maximum prevention (Wise, 2021).…”

Background: As one of the vulnerable groups to be infected by COVID-19, healthcare workers are required to obey the hospital rules and protocols. However, it may remain challenging for them, especially related to the provision of using personal protective equipment.Objective: This study examined the obedience of medical personnel to personal protective equipment in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 259 medical personnel (medical doctors, nurses, and midwives) in the hospital. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, and multiple logistic regression were used for data analysis.Results: The majority of respondents were nurses (80.3%) and female (63.3%). Those who had a poor attitude would be three times more likely to have poor obedience to using personal protective equipment (Adj. OR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.52 - 5.19). Sex, age, length of work, level of knowledge, level of motivation, and facility support were not correlated with obedience to using personal protective equipment.Conclusion: The finding reported that many medical personnel were not obedient to using personal protective equipment because their response to disease prevention was poor. The results can be used for further intervention and education or training programs for medical personnel.

Background: COVID-19 is the new infectious disease with mild to severe symptoms infecting thousands of people worldwide. Behavior is one factor affecting human health, whereas human behavior is strongly influenced by one’s perception in conducting something and is related to knowledge, attitude, and action.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of knowledge, attitudes, and actions toward COVID-19 prevention measures of the Konawe Regency community in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.Methods: This is quantitative research in which the study was conducted using an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from 29 December 2020 until 28 February 2021. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using binary logistic regression.Results: The finding suggested that the knowledge had not significantly influenced the COVID-19 prevention behavior of the community (p 0.05). Meanwhile, attitude and action had a significant influence on COVID-19 prevention behavior (p 0.05). The attitude was the most influential variable, with an EXP(B) value of 29.181 times, more likely causing the community not to comply with the COVID-19 health protocol. Conclusion: Attitudes and actions are important variables in understanding community behavior. This result can be a basis for increasing compliance towards COVID-19 prevention protocol in Indonesia and beyond.

“…Amongst the many issues faced is lack of referral hospitals, limited facilities, and infrastructure. There is also different levels of awareness amongst people and government officials, namely some still underestimate the pandemic, too many bureaucratic procedures slowing response, and overall failure to meet many of the medical personnel and patient's needs (Tosepu et al, 2021). Consequently, Indonesia's massive population demand served an opportunity space for eHealth industry development and innovation.…”

Hasil penelitian mempertegas kemudahan penggunaan bagi pengguna yang secara signifikan terkait dengan desain tombol, penggunaan warna, dan informasi obat paling. Selain itu, keandalan pada informasi dokter, yang memungkinkan layanan kesehatan pribadi secara signifikan terkait dengan kepuasan pengguna. Selain itu, ada beberapa fitur profil yang menyarankan tingkat pendidikan mempengaruhi tingkat penerimaan terhadap penggunaan dan kepuasan mHealth.
