A Simple Way to Reduce the Risk of Being Exposed to COVID-19 Using Instruments for Children

Abstract

Background. Children need to get protection during the Covid-19 pandemic, in accordance with Presidential Regulation 12/2020 on The Determination of Non-Natural Disasters. The purpose of the research is to develop non-natural disaster risk instruments for children. Research methods. This type of research is Research and Development. The participant population is divided into 3 roles, Focussed group discussion participants (20 people), instrument testing (267 respondents) and experts (methodology experts and disaster experts). Instrument development is carried out in 5 (five) stages, namely: 1) instrument evaluation; 2) development; 3) experiment; 4) socialization; 5) recommendations. The results showed that from 32 valid items, 25 items were all reliable because the Cronbach alpha value was above 0.7. Not valid for 7 items. The results of the instrument trial of 267 children, who had the potential to be exposed to Covid-19 were 69% who were not exposed to 31%. Of the 69%, strong exposure is 2%, high exposure is 15% and medium exposure is 83%. Conclusion: The developed non-natural disaster risk instrument can be used to assess disaster risk for children. The instrument works well, has efficiency, functionality and usability. Outputs: 1) disaster risk instruments for children; 2) intellectual property rights; 3) publication of international journals 4) monograph books.

Citizen Compliance to Prevents COVID 19 after Vaccination

“…Immunization is very important for efforts to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 [8]. This cluster includes seventy six citizens representing 50% of the total pattern, which constitutes the biggest group of the produced segments.…”

Early Detection Instruments for Children with Special Needs

“…This research is based on the user's view, while aspects of the research include: (1) Functionality, (2) Reliability, (3) Efficiency, (4) Usability, according to Pressman (2010:495), in testing the functionality of a software can be done using blackbox testing method or behavior testing. Children must be kept away from the risk of being exposed to disasters [11].…”

Alternative Efforts to Reduce Stunting Risk for Children using Electronic Child Cards

“…This is a qualitative descriptive study. The design in this study is a descriptive study with a Research and Development (R&D) approach (Sumasto et al, 2021) [1]. This study develops a mother and child card that is currently used at the Integrated Service Center for child health.…”

“…Monitoring the growth of children as the nation's successor is very important to note. The period of the first 1000 days, which is 270 days during pregnancy and 730 days of the first life of a baby being born, is a sensitive period, because at this time, nutrition is very influential on the growth of the baby as a result of not fulfilling nutritional adequacy when the baby is permanent and cannot be repaired (Sumasto et al, 2021) [1]. This adverse impact is not only on physical growth but also mental development and intelligence of children.…”

“…People are already familiar with technology such as computers, internet, smartphones, and other social media. The public is educated to use technology to help them in their daily activities and find information or as a repository of health data (Saurina et al, 2015) [5].…”
