Abstract

The use of plastic is quite popular among the people. Most of the housewives use plastic as a container for food and drinks in their daily life. This is because plastics have superior properties such as being strong but light, not rusting, being thermoplastic, which can be bonded using heat. However, behind the advantages of plastic, there are also disadvantages of plastic, including it is not heat resistant, is toxic and can cause health problems. This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on plastic codes on the use of plastic containers among housewives. This type of research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design through a one group pre-test post-test approach. The number of samples in this study were 43 people with total sampling technique. The analysis to be carried out is the paired two-sample Wilcoxon test to test the mean difference in the pre-post design, with a confidence level of 95% (α ≤ 0.05). The results showed the distribution of the use of plastic containers prior to the health education intervention (pretest), there were 38 respondents (88.4%) who did not use plastic containers according to the code and 5 respondents (11.6%) who used plastic containers according to the code. After the health education intervention there were 12 respondents (27.9%) who did not use plastic containers according to the code and 31 respondents (72.1%) who used plastic containers according to the code, this means that the use of plastic containers for respondents after being given health education has increased. . The results of the Wilcoxon test can be concluded that there is an effect of health education on the use of plastic containers for housewives (p-value = 0.000 <α = 0.05). With the results of this research, it is hoped that it will be able to increase the insight of housewives to be more careful in choosing a container to be used as a place for food and drinks to prevent health problems and be an initial step in improving the health status of families and communities.

Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a coronavirus that occurs in the digitalization era and has become a global pandemic that can attack various age groups and hinder various types of activities. This study was to analyze the relationship between the behavior of wearing masks and the prevention of COVID-19. This study was a quantitative correlation with a cross-sectional design approach. 58 were applied and selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square and logistic regression. The results showed that knowledge (p=0.003), attitude (p=0.and 001), duration of eating at food stalls (p=0.021), personal protective equipment (p=0.041), health checks (p=0.041), behavior using masks (p=0.003) associated with the prevention of COVID-19, and of the four variables the most related is knowledge with a value of Exp (B)=11.466, p=0.033. The conclusion was obtained that the behavior of using masks is related to the prevention of COVID-19. It is hoped that the use of masks by health workers and the public in a disciplined manner during activities in public facilities or crowded places must be followed by other actions such as maintaining distance in crowded places and diligently washing hands with antiseptic soap to reduce the rate of spread and prevent transmission of the deadly virus. Abstrak: COVID-19 merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus corona yang terjadi di era digitalisasi dan telah menjadi pandemi global yang dapat menyerang berbagai kelompok umur dan menghambat berbagai jenis aktivitas. Penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan antara perilaku memakai masker dengan pencegahan COVID-19. Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif korelasional dengan pendekatan desain cross sectional. 58 diterapkan dan dipilih menggunakan sampling aksidental. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan chi-square dan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengetahuan (p=0.003), sikap (p=0.dan 001), lama makan di warung makan (p=0.021), alat pelindung diri (p=0.041), pemeriksaan kesehatan (p=0.041), perilaku menggunakan masker (p=0,003) berhubungan dengan pencegahan COVID-19, dan dari keempat variabel yang paling berhubungan adalah pengetahuan dengan nilai Exp (B) = 11,466, p = 0,033. Didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa perilaku penggunaan masker berhubungan dengan pencegahan COVID-19. Diharapkan penggunaan masker oleh tenaga kesehatan dan masyarakat secara disiplin saat beraktivitas di fasilitas umum atau tempat keramaian harus diikuti dengan tindakan lain seperti menjaga jarak di tempat keramaian dan rajin mencuci tangan dengan sabun antiseptik sehingga dapat mengurangi laju penyebaran dan mencegah penularan virus mematikan tersebut.
