Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the role of mass and social media in the prevention and control of COVID-19 among adolescents in DKI Jakarta.

Methods: This research was conducted using a cross-sectional design. The participants in this study were 228 adolescents in the DKI Jakarta area. The data were collected using a questionnaire (Google Form) and analyzed by Chi-square test using SPSS.

Results: The results of the analysis showed that there was no relationship between mass and social media and COVID-19 prevention and control efforts among adolescents in DKI Jakarta (p 0.38). Adolescents perceived themselves as low risk of contracting COVID-19 so the message to prevent and control COVID-19 using mass and social media do not have impact on them.

Conclusion: There is no relationship between mass and social media and the prevention and control of COVID-19 in adolescents. It is recommended to increase the knowledge of adolescents about COVID-19, especially in school health facilities.

大众媒体和社交媒体在预防和控制雅加达青少年COVID-19中发挥作用吗？

目的：本研究旨在确定大众和社交媒体在雅加达DKI青少年中预防和控制COVID-19中的作用。方法：本研究采用横断面设计。本研究的参与者是DKI雅加达地区的228名青少年。采用问卷调查（谷歌表）收集资料，采用SPSS软件进行卡方检验。结果：分析结果显示，大众和社交媒体与雅加达DKI青少年的COVID-19防控工作之间没有关系（p 0.38）。青少年认为自己感染COVID-19的风险较低，因此利用大众媒体和社交媒体预防和控制COVID-19的信息对他们没有影响。结论：大众和社交媒体与青少年COVID-19防控无关联。建议增加青少年对COVID-19的了解，特别是在学校卫生机构。
