Sosialisasi Upaya Preventif Penyebaran Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID) di SMAN 15 Muaro Jambi

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still a global public health problem. However, Indonesia has decided
to conduct Face-to-face Learning in the learning process. Schools need to implement strict health protocols to
prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the school. Schools (teachers and education personnel) have an essential role
in monitoring and ensuring the implementation of health protocols. Therefore, socialization about preventing the
spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) must be done at SMAN 15 Muaro Jambi Regency. The target
of the socialization was teachers and education staff at SMAN 15 Muaro Jambi Regency. The Pondok Meja Health
Center and the community service team delivered the socialization material using lecture and discussion methods.
This activity also measures knowledge before and after socialization. Data were analyzed univariate and bivariate
using the Wilcoxon test. Seventeen teachers and education staff attended the socialization activity. The results
showed that respondents' average level of knowledge before socialization was 7.94, with a standard deviation of
0.899, and after socialization was 8.35, with a standard deviation of 1.455. The Wilcoxon test showed no
difference in the respondents' knowledge before and after socialization. However, there was an increase in the
average level of knowledge before and after, from 7.94 to 8.35. Through this socialization, it is hoped that schools
can improve the implementation of COVID-19 prevention efforts in schools during face-to-face learning.
