ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mothers’ compliance in conducting COVID-19 health protocols plays a significant role in children’s health. This study aimed to analyze determinant factors on mothers’ compliance of COVID-19 health protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

Method: The design of this study was cross-sectional. 242 mothers selected using consecutive sampling and agreed to involve in the study. The inclusion criteria were mothers who have under-5-year old children and lived in DKI Jakarta as one of the red zone areas for COVID-19 in Indonesia. The data collection used a questionnaire distributed using google form. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis.

Results: The results show a significant relationship between mothers’ compliance in conducting COVID-19 health protocols and knowledge about COVID-19 (p=0.015), health support system (p=0.000), access to health services (p=0.001), and social environment (p=0.030). The determinant factor for mothers’ compliance was the health support system.

Conclusion: This research concludes that several factors significantly affect mothers’ compliance in conducting COVID-19 health protocols. The local government must be aware of these factors to decrease the positivity rate of COVID-19 infection.
