“…On the other hand, Afghan immigrants have fragile economic conditions due to their daily work; also not having insurance, they incur high medical expenses. Therefore, delaying medical care due to social stigma and economic situation may explained more intubation and the increased median duration of hospital stay that lead to more mortality rate in afghans (49)(50)(51).…”

Background Since the outbreak of COVID-19, general studies about relationship between COVID-19 clinical outcome and ethnicity have been performed on the overall ethnic groups, but studies on ethnic subgroups is limited. Methods We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study on hospitalized patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 to evaluate whether ethnic background influences disease severity and clinical outcomes. Patients were categorized into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe to critical. Analyses were adjusted for socio-demographic and comorbidities. Results Among all hospitalized patients, in the unadjusted model, Afghans had a lower risk of severe to critical illness than Iranians (OR, 0.52; 95%CI, 0.41–0.64; P < 0.000). After adjusting for age, sex and comorbidities the risk remained lower in Afghans (OR, 0.69; 95%CI, 0.56–0.88; P < 0.003). But among positive cases was comparable even after full adjustment (OR, 0.86; 95%CI, 0.54–1.3; P < 0.547). Among all hospitalized patients, in the unadjusted model, the risk of death was comparable between Afghans and Iranians (OR, 1.037; 95%CI, 0.70–1.5; P < 0.003). After adjusting for age, sex and comorbidities, Afghans had a higher risk of death than Iranians (OR, 1.66; 95%CI, 1.08–2.55; P = 0.020). Similar results were observed in positive cases (OR, 2.34; 95%CI, 1.47–3.72; P = 0.000). Conclusions In this cohort study, Iranians represented more COVID-19-related symptoms and disease severity than Afghans; but mortality was higher in Afghans. The impact of COVID-19 may be different in various Asian ethnic groups

“…Based on Parsons's Sick Role, all participants voluntary believed that pointed to the experience of stigma putting them under severe stress. Social stigma causes the worst form of social exclusion (Sadati & Mohammadi, 2021).This causes social interactions changes in the community which is drastically decreasing social interactions.…”

This study reviews aspect of the Covid-19 pandemic that is currently engulfing Indonesia and the application of a clean and healthy lifestyle which is believed to be able to suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus. This study aims to determine the level of public knowledge regarding the spread of Covid-19, the level of change in the application of the Healthy Living Behaviors, whether there is a correlation between the two variables, and how the relationship with Talcott Parsons' sick role theory on existing relationships and changes. There have been several studies related to the relationship between the level of knowledge related to covid and behavior but very limited study that also analyzed the efforts to maintain the changes that have been made The research uses a quantitative method approach to test the existing hypotheses. The determination of the data sample was carried out by purposive sampling with the data population of Indonesian citizens resided in Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi city (Jabodetabek), with an education level of one family member at least S-1. The results of the study concluded that there was a significant positive relationship with the coefficient value in a sufficient range of relationships between the variables. The level of public knowledge about the spread of Covid-19 is at a fairly high level, (4.03 out of 5). The level of change in the implementation of PHBS is low-medium (2.28 out of 5). The community is depicted as consciously choosing to keep their distance and withdraw from social interaction as an effort to prevent Covid-19, meaning they choose to be in a sick role condition even though they are physically fine.
