Is COVID-19 a hoax? Correlation between beliefs related to COVID-19 and the use of preventive measures in India

Background: Following the personal protective and preventive measures are vital to the control and prevention of transmission. The populations’ beliefs and attitude related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a direct impact on their practice of preventive measures. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the beliefs, attitude and preventive practices related to COVID-19 among the general population of Chennai, Tamil Nadu.Methods: An online questionnaire with 12 questions concerning the beliefs, attitude and practice of preventive measures related to COVID-19 was distributed via social platforms. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software (version 21, IBM Corporation, Texas, USA). Bivariate analysis (Chi-square test) was used to assess the association between independent variables with each of the main outcomes of interest.Results: A total of 256 study subjects participated in this survey. About 69.9% believed in the existence of corona virus and >85% followed the government protocols. Social distancing and Frequent hand washing was chosen by majority of the study subjects (55.5% and 78.5% respectively) as the most effective measure to prevent viral transmission. Nearly 81.7% always wore a mask in public and 27.0% always kept >6 feet distance apart from others.Conclusions: The surveyed population has an acceptable level of positive beliefs, attitude, and good practices towards COVID-19. We recommend that emphasis should be placed on educating people belonging to lower education and income strata. Vulnerable populations who require proper health education and guidance for prevention and control of COVID-19 should be targeted.

Abstract: Influence Of Knowledge And Education Aspects Of Kapuas Riverside Community In Waste Disposal. The people of Pontianak City are very dependent on the Kapuas river. Besides being used as a raw water source for Local Water Supply Utility (PDAM) and means of transportation, the government also has launched waterfront city program which changed the public perception of looking at the river as the backyard for waste disposal into the front yard that must be taken care of. This will not happen without the support of the people who live on the banks of the river, because factually the people still throw their waste, bathe, wash their clothes, and defecate in the river. Study related to people’s behaviour in waste disposal on the banks of the river is needed to facilitate the formulation of waste handling. The purpose of the research is to know the relationship of society at the edge of capungan in throwing garbage in place waste disposal. This research was analytical descriptive with observation, interview, and questionnaire. The number of samples are40 people were randomly scattered in five districts which are passed through by Kapuas river.Data were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis using chi-square test. The result of bivariate analysis with chi-square test and significant of alpha 0,05 found no correlation between knowledge with people’s behaviour in waste disposal (p-value = 0,492), and had a significant relationship between education with people’s behaviour in waste disposal (p-value = 0,015).Abstrak: Pengaruh Aspek Pengetahuan Dan Pendidikan Masyarakat Tepi Sungai Kapuas Dalam Membuang Sampah. Masyarakat Kota Pontianak sangat bergantung terhadap Sungai Kapuas. Selain digunakan sebagai sumber air baku Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM), dan sarana transportasi, Pemerintah juga mencanangkan program waterfront city yang mengubah persepsi masyarakat memandang sungai sebagai halaman belakang untuk membuang limbah menjadi halaman depan yang harus dipelihara. Hal ini tidak akan terwujud tanpa dukungan masyarakat yang tinggal di tepi sungai, karena fakta di lapangan menunjukkan masih banyak masyarakat yang membuang sampah dan melakukan aktivitas MCK di sungai. Dibutuhkan studi terkait perilaku masyarakat di tepi sungai dalam membuang sampah agar memudahkan dalam formulasi penanganan sampah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan masyarakat di tepi sungai kapuas dalam membuang sampah di TPS. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan observasi, interview, dan kuisioner. Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 40 orang secara acak dan tersebar di 5 (lima) Kecamatan yang dilalui Sungai Kapuas. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis secara univariat dengan tabel distribusi frekuensi dan analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square dengan alpha 0,05 didapatkan tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan perilaku membuang sampah (p-value= 0,492), dan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pendidikan terhadap perilaku membuang sampah (p-value= 0,015).

Measles rubella (MR) immunization is to provide immunity against measles and rubella. To reduce measles and rubella, the government carried out the MR immunization campaign. The target of MR immunization achievement is at 95%; however, in West Sumatra Province it is still at 38,98% and Padang City is at 47%. The purpose of this study was to determine the determinant factor as participation in MR immunization for toddlers. This analytic survey used a cross sectional study design. The population was mothers who had toddlers with a sample of 86 respondents taken by proportional random sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Data processing was analyzed by bivariate and multivariate using chi square test and logistic regression. The results of the bivariate analysis showed factors related to MR immunization, namely knowledge (p = 0.003), level of education (p = 0.006), and attitude (p = 0.006), while employment (p = 0,222) and number of children (p = 0,160) were not related to MR immunization and the most influential variable was the level of knowledge with p value 0.009 and OR 0.28. It can be concluded that knowledge, education and attitude are related to maternal participation in MR immunization with the most influential variable being knowledge. Therefore, there needs to be innovation in providing counseling to mothers and families about the importance of MR immunization.

ABSTRACT A global pandemic or epidemic indicates that Covid-19 infection is so fast that almost no region in the world has been spared from the corona virus. It is hoped that the Covid-19 pandemic situation that occurs in Indonesia does not make postpartum mothers afraid of breastfeeding or stop breastfeeding. The government has made various efforts to stop the spread of the corona virus. One of the efforts to prevent the transmission of covid-19 is by implementing health protocols, including during breastfeeding. This study aims to determine the factors that influence breastfeeding patterns during the Covid-19 pandemic.The research design uses correlative analytic with a cross sectional approach. The study population was all breastfeeding mothers. The sample was taken using purposive sampling.Data collection used a closed online questionnaire for one month. Data analysis was in the form of bivariant analysis using the chi-square test, while multivariant analysis used multiple logistic regression tests (multiple regretion). The results showed that there were factors that had a significant relationship with the breastfeeding pattern of breastfeeding mothers during the Covid-19 pandemic, namely knowledge (p 0.001), attitude (p 0.005) and the results of multivariate analysis obtained a p value of 0.001 (α <0.005) so that it is known that these variables had a real influence on breastfeeding patterns during the Covid-19 pandemic. Midwives in collaboration with health cadres are expected to increase educational efforts about breastfeeding information during the Covid-19 pandemic so that they can increase knowledge and change the attitudes and behavior of mothers for the better.
