Relationship between Level of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice of Health Protocols with the Incident of COVID-19

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus which has spread throughout the world, including Indonesia. In response to this pandemic, the 5M health protocol is related to behavior, as well as being one of the factors in breaking the chain of transmission of COVID-19. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of the 5M health protocol with the incidence of COVID-19 in FK UKI students batch 2018 in 2022. This study is an analytical survey research with a cross-sectional approach. Simple random sampling is used as a sampling technique with a total of 113 FK UKI students batch 2018. This study used a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the 5M health protocol and the incidence of COVID-19 based on RT-PCR within one year. Filling out the questionnaire is done online using a Google form. The data will be analyzed univariately and bivariately using Chi-square and Fisher's Exact Test. The study ran for 2 weeks starting from March 7 to March 14, 2022. Univariate results found that 90.2% of students had good knowledge, 55.8% had a good attitude, 61% had poor practice and 43.3% experienced COVID-19 from 113 respondents. From the results of the bivariate analysis, it was found that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of COVID-19 (p-value = 0.001), the level of attitude with the incidence of COVID-19 (p-value = 0.042) and the level of practice with the incidence of COVID-19 (p-value = 0.014). So it can be said that the higher the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the 5M health protocols, the more students will be protected from COVID-19 in the 2018 UKI FK students.
