Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been happening for years now and no one can guarantee when this situation will end. The best thing that we can do in this new normal era is doing different self-care activity than what we usually do before the pandemic. This study aimed to analyze self-care differences before and after pandemic situation in the general population. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 645 respondents living in five congested communities in Surabaya, Indonesia. Sample was enrolled by means of cluster random sampling. Variables on this study was self-care activities related to new normal activies among community. Valid and reliable questionnaire of self-care activities was used in data collection. Independent sample t test was used in data analysis. Results: Most respondents were female (54.6%) in their productive age (29.7 ± 11.5 y.o.), graduated (77.8%), private employee (35.5%), having no income (45.7%), and live with more than 3-5 family members at home (43.4%). Before pandemic, self-care was mostly sufficient (21.8 ± 5.9). After pandemic, self-care was improved greatly but still in sufficient level (28.5 ± 4.8). There was a significant self care difference before and after pandemic situation in the general population (p = 0.000).

Abstract

Health behavior in the COVID-19 pandemic situation needs to be measured in the general population to evaluate the implementation of health guidelines in the new normal era, especially WHO recommendations. Knowledge, attitude, and action are domains of health behavior translated into COVID-19 knowledge, perceived self-care ability, and new normal health behavior in this study. We aimed to describe the knowledge of COVID-19 and the perceived self-care ability and analyze the differences in new normal health behavior before and after the COVID-19 pandemic situation among adults living in congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study involved 384 respondents living in five congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia, which enrolled utilizing random cluster sampling. Self-developed valid and reliable questionnaires measured research variables. Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used in data analysis. Ethical clearance was issued. Results showed that most respondents had very good knowledge of COVID-19 (63%) and a high level of perceived self-care ability (74%). Before and after the pandemic, most respondents reported sufficient new normal health behavior (before: 74.7%; after: 83.9%). There was a significant difference in new normal health behavior before and after the COVID-19 pandemic among adults living in congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia (p=0.000). New normal health behavior was nonoptimal in implementation. Therefore, efforts to improve new normal health behavior need to be made by various parties, not only the individuals but also health care professionals and the government as policymakers.Keywords: COVID-19, health behavior, knowledge, pandemic,                              self-care
