Socialization of 5M implementation and independent isolation for patients with Covid-19 based on online media for the residents of Semanding Hamlet, Sumbersekar Village, Malang Regency

Abstract

Corona virus disease has spread to almost every country in the world and has become a global pandemic. Behavior change expected from communities is focused on increasing compliance with the Covid-19 preventive health protocol during the pandemic which is called new habit adaptation (IMR). IMR is our way of adapting by changing new behaviors, lifestyles, and habits in our daily activities. The new habit is implementing the 3M health protocol (wearing masks, washing hands with soap and running water, and maintaining a safe distance) so that we can remain productive without contracting Covid-19. Therefore, it is very important to carry out 5M socialization and independent isolation for patients suffering from Covid-19 in an effort to prevent the transmission and to handle Covid-19 in Semanding Hamlet, Sumbersekar Village, Malang Regency. Education program delivered using lecture method and utilizing media in the form of educational videos increases the understanding and knowledge of Semanding Hamlet residents. This type of education program can stimulate thoughts, feeling, attention, creativity, and innovation, and also provide direct experience to the audiences. But the audiences’ knowledge is affected by their education level and it has been shown when they were asked to choose those multiple choices about Covid-19 protocol that might be harder than to choose the best one on a dichotomous statement. On the other side, the audiences almost had done for all the Covid-19 protocols in daily acitivities but they still leave the house for some necessities.
