Abstract

COVID-19 is a global health problem that can spread quickly, and the elderly are the age group at the greatest risk of being seriously ill and hospitalized if exposed to COVID-19. To reduce this risk, the elderly need to comply with COVID-19 prevention protocols. This study aimed to assess factors associated with adherence to COVID-19 prevention. The study was conducted in Tabanan City using a cross-sectional design. A total of 334 respondents were selected using cluster sampling. Data were obtained using an online questionnaire survey (Google Forms) and analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure adherence to COVID-19 prevention. Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with adherence to COVID-19 prevention. The results showed that more than half of respondents (56.7%) adhered to COVID-19 prevention implementation. Gender (p = 0.041; AOR: 0.506), knowledge about COVID-19 (p = 0.011; AOR: 1.91), perception about COVID-19 (p < 0.001; AOR:2.61), motivation to implement health protocols (p < 0.001; AOR: 3.36), and access to information (p < 0.001; AOR: 2.61) were significantly associated with adherence to COVID-19 prevention. The proportion of the elderly who do not adhere to COVID-19 prevention protocols is still high; therefore, compliance needs to be improved by conducting health education regularly on preventing COVID-19 among the elderly.
