“…A study in Australia revealed that a healthcare worker could have the risk of being infected around three times (Quigley, Stone, Nguyen, Chughtai, & MacIntyre, 2021). A study in the United States of America compared the exports and imports of PPE (face masks, eye protection, and medical gloves) and particularly described how the exports decreased and imports increased before the pandemic and during the pandemic (Cohen & van der Meulen Rodgers, 2020;Tosepu, Effendy, Lestari, et al, 2020). The shortages of PPE have also happened in United Kingdom (UK) since the healthcare workers (HCWs) reported challenges such as the inappropriate provision of PPE, undefective training, and inadequate guidance (Hoernke et al, 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 an unprecedented public health event. It started from Wuhan, China, in late December of 2019 and later spread worldwide. During the pandemic, negative impacts on mental health were found in all groups, including adults of their productive age. Objective: This study aimed to search for factors related to Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) during the quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, specifically about the demographic background of respondents and its relation to PTSS. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 257 Indonesian adults aged 26-67 years from 26 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia. The questionnaire used in this study consists of demographic questions and an Indonesian version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IESR). The questionnaire was distributed through a link attached to the social media platform from 17 September to 5 October 2020. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression using SPSS 25.0. Results: The data analysis showed a significant relationship between age and mean IES-R score during quarantine time in Indonesia (p-value 0.001). Other demographic factors such as gender, education level, marital status, work from home, income during the pandemic, and pandemic effects to income showed no significant relation to the IES-R score of the respondents. Adults aged 25-44 years old tend to have higher IES-R scores than those aged 45-64 and 65+ years old. Conclusion: Age was related to the IES-R score, while the other five independent variables included in the linear regression analysis were found to be confounders in this study.

“…At the end of 2019, the world was startled by a coronavirus outbreak that had been infecting almost all countries around the globe (Sohrabi et al, 2020). In January 2020, World Health Organization declared a global emergency on coronavirus (Tosepu, Effendy, Lestari, et al, 2020). On 31 December 2019, the first unknown pneumonia-like case was reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China (Gunawan, Juthamanee, & Aungsuroch, 2020;Tosepu et al, 2021) On 19 March 2020, there were 214.894 people infected by the coronavirus, 8.732 were dead, and 83.313 patients have recovered.…”

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.
