- Abstract
The coronavirus outbreak of 2019 (Covid-19) is currently occurring. It’s deteriorating further, particularly in Bandung, Indonesia. This increase was driven by insufficient application of health protocols. Personal health education focuses on promoting health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), most notably with regard to school-based implementation of the Covid-19 health protocol. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to gather data on KAP in relation to the Covid-19 health protocol among 31 students attending an Islamic boarding school. Data on KAP were collected using a validated primary data questionnaire. The data were examined using SPSS 26.0 software and the chi-square test to determine the association. The data indicated that delivering health education had a modest effect on KAP levels. However, there was no significant relation between KAP and gender or age. The most effective approach of modifying students’ KAPs is through health education. Health education improved students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices about Covid-19 transmission prevention strategies. Additional research is necessary to generate more evidence and to analyze the long-term impact. The amount of student KAP focused on enforcing the Covid-19 health policy is critical to the program’s efficacy in creating a healthy, Covid-free school environment.
