Practical learning aktivities during the COVID-19 pandemic are generally carried out online and offline. Semester exams are generally conducted online. Face-to-face learning is carried out through the division of study groups, while online learning is carried out by utilizing learning applications. Obstacles in implementing learning during the pandemic include difficulties for teachers to monitor the behavior and character of students, students find it difficult to understand learning materials and also limited quotas. The education unit at ABDYA has tried to implement the policies of the central government and local governments while carrying out learning during the pandemic. This can be observed from the efforts of the school in implementing health protocols during learning during the pandemic. In addition, the school also provides free health facilities and infrastructure to school residents. Internet quotas are also provided to overcome the constraints of limited quotas during learning during the pandemic. Education related to the dangers of coronavirus is carried out by the school in various ways, both by socializing the dangers of covid in the school and by teaching teachers to model COVID-19 prevention behavior. Education is also carried out by making disinfectants independently and through social media. Most chemistry teachers consider that COVID-19 education can be inserted into certain sub-learning materials, one of which is through the manufacture of disinfectants and sanitizers independently. Meanwhile, other chemistry teachers argue that teachers can insert covid-19 education in all learning materialsKey words: Learning process, Curriculum integration , Covid-19

HUBUNGAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN IBU TENTANG IMUNISASI DPT PADA BAYI DENGAN PERILAKU PENCEGAHAN PENYAKIT DIFTERI PERTUSIS DAN TETANUS DI PUSKESMAS KORPRI BANDAR LAMPUNG TAHUN 2020

DPT immunization is the basic immunization used to prevent diphtheria pertussis and tetanus. According to data from the Bandar Lampung City Health Office from 30 health centers in Bandar Lampung, the Korpri Puskesmas in Sukarame District is the health center with the lowest complete basic immunization coverage, which is 60.8% in 2015. The low immunization coverage rate is inseparable from health behavior and parental knowledge about DPT immunization. Purpose of this study to determine the relationship between the level of mother's knowledge about DPT immunization in infants with the prevention behavior of diphtheria pertussis and tetanus at the Korpri Puskesmas Bandar Lampung in 2020. This study used an observational and analytic type of study with a cross sectional approach and a questionnaire interview method. The sample used in this study were mothers who had babies in the work area of the Korpri Bandar Lampung Community Health Center in 2020. Data analysis used Chi-Square. The result It is known that 7 mothers (77.8%) have bad knowledge about DPT immunization and bad behavior towards DPT disease prevention, as many as 2 mothers (22.2%) have bad knowledge about DPT immunization and good behavior towards DPT disease prevention. A total of 28 mothers (33.3%) had good knowledge about DPT immunization and bad behavior towards DPT disease prevention, as many as 56 mothers (66.7%) had good knowledge about DPT immunization and good behavior towards DPT disease prevention. Chi-square test results obtained p-value = 0.024 (p ≤ 0.05), which means that there is a relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and the prevention behavior of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. There is a significant relationship between the level of maternal knowledge about DPT immunization in infants with the prevention behavior of diphtheria pertussis and tetanus at the Korpri Puskesmas Bandar Lampung in 2020 with a p-value = 0.024 (p ≤ 0.05).

Who Got Vaccinated for COVID-19? Evidence from Japan

Vaccination has been critical to reducing infections and deaths during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While previous studies have investigated attitudes toward taking a vaccine, studies on the determinants of COVID-19 vaccination behavior are scant. We examine what characteristics, including socioeconomic and non-economic factors, are associated with vaccination behavior for COVID-19 in Japan. We use a large nationwide online survey with approximately 10,000 participants. As of September 2021, 85% of the respondents said that they had received or would receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Employing logistic regression analysis on vaccination behavior, we found that vaccination rates are higher among those who are older, married, educated, and/or work in a large company. On the other hand, vaccination rates tend to be lower among the self-employed, younger women, and those with poor mental health. Income did not significantly correlate with vaccination. Medical workers were found to have a relatively high rate of vaccination. Although attitude towards risk and time preference were not crucial factors for vaccination, fear of infection, infection prevention behavior, and agreement with government policies on behavioral restrictions in crisis situations positively correlated with vaccination.

Community Knowledge and Attitudes about the Transmission of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever and Its Relationship to Prevention Behaviour in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia

BACKGROUND: PSN 3 M Plus is a long-running program in Indonesia for the prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). AIM: This study aimed to determine the knowledge, behavior, attitudes, and beliefs of the community toward PSN 3 M Plus in preventing and controlling the spread of DHF. METHODS: A cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 200 respondents in endemic areas and 100 respondents in sporadic locations of Indonesia from August 2020 to February 2021. The respondents were interviewed directly by interviewers and the relationships between demographics and characteristics with the practice of PSN 3M Plus prevention behavior on the incidence of DHF were analyzed. RESULTS: Most respondents had good knowledge regarding the cause of DHF. Although respondents recognized and understood the dangers of and how to control DHF, most did not follow PSN 3 M Plus and believed that fogging was the most effective control measure. There was a significant relationship between the characteristics of the respondents in terms of education, occupation, and attitude on vector control practice. CONCLUSION: Although community environmental modifications can be a cost-effective approach to reduce the incidence of DHF, there is a need to raise public awareness regarding preventive vector control measures as good knowledge does not guarantee good compliance with PSN 3M Plus recommendations.

Nursing Students’ Practicums during the COVID-19 Crisis and the Effect on Infection-Prevention Behavior in Students: A Mixed-Method Approach

Background and Objectives: The coronavirus disease pandemic is ongoing. Infection-prevention measures in nursing education (practicum) are essential. However, there are few studies on infection-prevention behaviors among nursing students participating in practicums. We aimed to clarify the effect of practicums during the coronavirus disease crisis on infection-prevention behavior in Japanese nursing students. Materials and Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 third-year nursing students in Osaka City within one week of their clinical placement training. From the results of the interview analysis, we compiled a questionnaire and surveyed 90 third-year students. We conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses. We used descriptive statistics for the quantitative analysis and the chi-squared test for binary variables. Results: From the qualitative analysis, we identified five categories regarding the awareness of infection-prevention measures: <Acquisition of knowledge and skills in infection-prevention measures during nursing practice>, <Defining the experience in infection-prevention measures>, <Changes in attitude towards infection>, <Changes in infection prevention behavior>, and <infection-prevention measures-related issues>. In the quantitative analysis, the practicum students who attended at least three pre-practicum orientations continued wearing masks during lunch breaks and avoided the three Cs. Conclusions: Students could recall the knowledge and experiences gained from pre-practicum orientations/practicums. This experience created a new awareness of infection-prevention and change of infection-prevention behavior. Infection-prevention education using practicums is important for infection-prevention behavior during this pandemic. However, there should be a much larger-scale study to support these findings in the future.
