Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has occurred since 2020 and since the appearance of the first case, Indonesia has experienced three peaks of COVID-19 attacks. The elderly are one of the vulnerable groups with high mortality due to comorbidities. Implementation of health protocols is the key to controlling the incidence of COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the implementation of health protocols for the elderly living in urban and rural areas. This is a correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 447 elderly living in urban and rural areas who were taken by purposive sampling technique. The data was taken using a questionnaire instrument and the analysis was carried out using the Mann Whitney test using SPSS 21 for windows. The results showed that of the 235 elderly living in urban areas, 52.3% of respondents showed compliance with health protocols and of 212 respondents who lived in rural areas, only 15% of elderly people complied with health protocols. The results by Mann Whitney analysis showed p-value of 0.000 smaller than α 0.05 so it was concluded that there was a difference in compliance to the implementation of health protocols between the elderly in rural and urban areas. People in rural areas, especially the elderly, still do not believe in COVID-19. So it is necessary to do health education with an approach that is in line with their value, for example, with a cultural approach.

印度尼西亚东爪哇城乡老年人健康协议的执行情况

自2020年以来发生了COVID-19大流行，自第一例病例出现以来，印度尼西亚经历了三次COVID-19袭击高峰。老年人是因合并症死亡率高的弱势群体之一。实施卫生规程是控制COVID-19发病率的关键。本研究的目的是分析城市和农村地区老年人健康方案实施的差异。这是一项采用横断面方法的相关研究。本研究采用有目的抽样方法对447名生活在城乡的老年人进行了调查。使用问卷调查工具获取数据，使用SPSS 21 for windows使用Mann Whitney检验进行分析。结果表明，在235名城市老年人中，52.3%的人遵守了健康方案，而在212名农村老年人中，只有15%的人遵守了健康方案。Mann - Whitney分析结果显示p值为0.000，小于α 0.05，说明农村和城市老年人对健康方案执行的依从性存在差异。农村地区的人们，特别是老年人，仍然不相信COVID-19。因此，有必要采用与他们的价值观相一致的方法进行健康教育，例如，采用文化方法。
