Abstract

COVID-19 is a new and previously undetected type of coronavirus in humans caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The worldwide attention is increasing to this virus because of the person-to-person transmission rate which was initially thought to be animal-to-human, so the spread of the disease is very high. People with comorbidities and the elderly who are more susceptible to coronavirus infection have higher morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of the Faculty of Health Sciences students, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta (FIKES UPNVJ) Indonesia in preventing and controlling COVID-19. This research used cross-sectional design conducted in May 2020 at FIKES UPNVJ with 233 respondents. The univariate analysis shows the characteristics of students with dominantly female, aged 20-29 years old, live outside Jakarta and from nursing study program. The bivariate analysis using the chi-square test shows p value 0.67 that can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of the FIKES UPNVJ students in the prevention and control of COVID-19. This research is useful in preventing COVID-19 and further research is needed on the factors that affect the prevention and control of COVID-19.
