Abstract

Background: The widespread coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has increased the number of cases causing people to experience panic and anxiety. The government imposed control measures to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus, including making it mandatory for the public to comply with the implementation of the Covid-19 health protocol.

Aim: The study was conducted to determine the relationship between anxiety and compliance with the community’s performance of the Covid-19 health protocol.

Methods: The design of this research was cross-sectional. The subjects of this study were 98 respondents from Keniten Village, Ponorogo Regency. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The data collection method used was the HARS questionnaire. Research data were analyzed using chi-square with a p-value < 0.05.

Results: The result of this study indicated that 48 respondents (49.0%) showed a level of anxiety at a moderate level, and 59 respondents (60,2%) complied with the health protocol. The chi-square statistical test showed a relationship between anxiety and compliance with the implementation of the Covid-19 health protocol in the Keniten Village resident, Ponorogo regency, with a p-value (of 0.000).

Conclusion: The level of public anxiety can affect their compliance with the implementation of health protocols. It will impact the number of Covid-19 transmissions in the community. Health workers can provide education to help reduce the incidence of Covid-19 in the community.
