Abstract

Covid-19 caused many countries to implement new policies to combat its transmission. Among these new policies is the mandatory use of face masks in public spaces, which increased their production, consumption, and mask waste in the environment. Insufficient knowledge and awareness about the proper disposal of used masks, especially medical masks, might lead to environmental pollution due to microplastic particles and widespread contamination of Covid-19, which will affect sanitation and clean water supplies. Thus, providing education regarding proper and responsible masks use and disposal is essential to maintain good health for all and reduce potential environmental hazards amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. To understand the effect of providing education on knowledge regarding the use and management of medical masks,"EMISSION: Reducing Mask Waste in the Midst of Covid-19 Pandemic” webinar was conducted. This study used the One Group Pretest-post-test Design research method. The sample was selected by purposive sampling technique. The variable studied was the increase in knowledge as measured by pretest and post-test questionnaires. The obtained data were tested by using Paired Samples T-Test. There was a significant effect between knowledge scores related to medical masks before (pretest) and after the (post-test) webinar with a difference in the average value of 0.59 and p-value = 0.000. Education through "EMISSION: Reducing Mask Waste in the Midst of Covid-19 Pandemic" webinar increased public knowledge regarding medical masks to help ensure good health and well-being.

Abstract

The use of masks as self-protection from Covid-19 can cause new problems by increasing the amount of waste. Medical masks are infectious waste containing microplastics that are difficult to decompose. People's behavior and level of knowledge may have a role in the management of medical mask waste. Therefore, this research aimed to find out the comparison of the age group <17 years and 18-25 years regarding the knowledge about the impact of medical masks on the environment as an indication of public concern for environmental preservation. The research was an analytic observational study. The sample was selected using total sampling according to age group. The variables studied were the management of medical masks and respondents' knowledge of the impact of medical masks on the environment as measured from questionnaire data. The data obtained were tested using the independent sample t-test and the Chi-Square test. The results obtained a p-value=0.259 related to the management of medical masks and  p-value=0.172 related to knowledge of the impact of medical mask waste. There was no relationship between the age group <17 years and 18-25 years related to the management of medical masks and knowledge of the impact of mask waste on the environment.
