The Health Belief Model Approach to Covid-19 Prevention Protocol Compliance in the Indonesian Population
Main Article Content
Abstract
Prevention of COVID-19 can only be done by changing behavior. The recommended behavior change is 3M's behavior. The Health Belief Model (HBM) theory can be used to predict the behavior of 3M people. The purpose of this study is to find out how 3M's behavior is viewed from the HBM theoretical framework. The research design used a cross sectional with a sample of 96 people of Pasir Endah Village, Bandung City, which were taken at stratified random. With independent variables: perceptions of vulnerability, severity, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy and the dependent variable: community 3M behavior. The research instrument used a Gform questionnaire which was processed with the Chi Square test. The results showed that most of the people implemented 3M behavior and had high perceptions of vulnerability, severity, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy, there was a relationship between perceived vulnerability (p-value: 0.025), perceived severity (p-value: 0.004), perceived benefits (p-value: 0.010), and self-efficacy (p-value: 0.025), and there is no relationship between perceived barriers (p-value: 0.064) and 3M people's behavior. The Puskesmas is expected to be able to increase the perception of vulnerability, severity, benefits, and self-efficacy related to COVID-19 so that the whole community applies 3M behavior properly.
