Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Covid-19 has become a pandemic. Indonesia is the second highest prevalence number in Southeast Asia (as of mid-September 2020).

Data was collected using structured questionnaire electronically. It is involved 271 students from health and non-health students. Wilcoxon test used to compare means of results. Study was approved ethically by health sciences ethical committee, Jenderal Sudirman University. Results: There was no different behavior between health students and non-health student, however it was found that there was a different of the perception cost related to behavior prevention and perception on community leader support between two groups.

健康学生与非健康学生COVID-19预防行为的比较研究

背景:Covid-19已成为一场大流行。印度尼西亚是东南亚第二大流行国(截至2020年9月中旬)。预防行为成为阻止疾病传播的关键策略，因为目前还没有准备好的疫苗。方法:比较健康生与非健康生对新冠肺炎的预防行为。这是一项采用横断面方法的观察性研究。采用结构化电子问卷收集数据。该研究涉及271名来自卫生专业和非卫生专业的学生。Wilcoxon检验用于比较结果均值。研究得到了Jenderal Sudirman大学健康科学伦理委员会的伦理批准。结果:健康生与非健康生在行为上无差异，但在行为预防的感知成本和社区领导支持的感知成本上存在差异。结论:健康学生与非健康学生在重预防相关的感知成本和社区领导支持感知上存在差异。这是对行为可持续性的警告。关键词:covid-19，印度尼西亚，预防行为，学生
