ABSTRACT

COVID-19 tends to be severe and shows a poor prognosis, especially in patients with underlying comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome. With no definitive therapy for COVID-19, it is imperative that people with a history of metabolic syndrome need to take extra precautions and adhere to them strictly. However, people's compliance with these control measures will be greatly influenced by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine knowledge, attitudes, and practices in patients with a history of metabolic syndrome to prevent Covid-19. This research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive research type—the Categorization of knowledge values, attitudes, and behavior using the Bloom cut-off point method. The research instrument was a questionnaire containing demographic data, knowledge, attitudes, and Covid-19 prevention practices. The results of this study indicate that the level of knowledge and attitudes is moderate, and practice in preventing COVID-19 is considered lacking. In this study, there were still many respondents who behaved inconsistently with their knowledge and attitudes and were still carried away by their old behavior in their daily lives. Knowledge and attitudes are the determining factors for a person to take positive or negative actions. Knowledge and attitudes that are still in the low and moderate categories are the triggers for the extent of the practices shown by respondents in preventing Covid-19. This study concludes that not all respondents are categorized as lacking in their behavior to prevent covid-19. The respondents who have good behavior must have good knowledge and attitude values as well.
