Abstract

The prevention of disease transmission is an effective cost-strategy in controlling COVID-19. The scenario of the control of COVID-19 in Samarinda City consists of 3 phases, namely initial, advanced, and recovery. The outcome of the advanced phase is flattening the transmission curve of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increased proportion of patients in recovery, and an increased culture of preventing disease transmission in society. This study aimed at knowing the influence of the understanding of COVID-19 infographics on the efforts to prevent COVID-19 transmission at the advanced phase. A survey was conducted via social media from April 21st to April 30th, 2020. The preventive actions for the disease transmission as the dependent variable in this study were social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands, and efforts to enhance the body’s immunity, while the independent variable was the understanding of COVID-19 infographics updated daily. The results of the study showed that the proportion of the population who understood the infographics well was 79.5%, the community participation in practicing social distancing (81.6%), wearing a mask  (50.9%), washing hands as frequently as possible (74.3%), and the efforts to strengthen the body’s immune system (73.6%) with a consistency level of 55.12%. The lowest rate for the activity of social distancing was visiting elders or the people suffering from comorbidities with 54.71%. A good understanding of infographics could increase adherence to the recommendations of social distancing. The implementation of social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands as frequently as possible, and the efforts to improve the body’s immune system need to be done consistently to prevent the COVID-19 transmission and as a result, the potential transmission could be minimized to optimize the recovery phase and anticipate the possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
对COVID-19信息图表的理解与预防COVID-19传播的关系
预防疾病传播是控制COVID-19的有效成本策略。萨马林达市新冠肺炎疫情防控情景分为初始阶段、后期阶段和恢复阶段。晚期阶段的结果是COVID-19大流行传播曲线趋于平缓,康复患者比例增加,社会预防疾病传播的文化增强。本研究旨在了解对COVID-19信息图表的理解对预防COVID-19晚期传播工作的影响。调查于2020年4月21日至4月30日通过社交媒体进行。因变量为保持社交距离、戴口罩、勤洗手、增强身体免疫力等预防措施,自变量为对每日更新的COVID-19信息图表的了解程度。研究结果显示,了解信息图表的人口比例为79.5%,社区参与保持社交距离(81.6%),佩戴口罩(50.9%),尽可能勤洗手(74.3%),努力增强身体免疫系统(73.6%),一致性水平为55.12%。保持社交距离活动的比例最低的是探望老人或有合并症的人,为54.71%。对信息图表的良好理解可以提高对保持社交距离建议的遵守程度。通过保持社交距离、佩戴口罩、勤洗手、增强身体免疫系统等措施,预防新冠肺炎的传播,最大限度地减少潜在传播,优化恢复阶段,防范可能出现的第二波疫情。
