“…The Covid19 Prevention Guideline published by the Health Department of Hong Kong state that efforts should be made to breaking coronavirus transmission with properly maintained personal hygiene, prevent touching faces, constantly washing hands with soap with running water, using hand sanitizer if soap is not available, and avoid crowded places with lack of ventilation (16). The study conducted by the Brazilians showed that 97.3% of the respondents always wear masks when required to do outdoor activities, 97.3% of the respondents must maintain their hand hygiene, and 84.3% of the respondents avoid traveling out of the house to maintain distancing during the Covid19 pandemic (17). Such findings have similar results with our research, where the majority of the respondents (82.4%) have good awareness in implementing health protocol to prevent the spread of Covid19.…”

Introduction: The spread of Covid19 could be prevented by breaking the chain of transmission through the practice of wearing a mask while going outside or being in a crowd, washing hands using hand soap under running water, and doing physical distancing (3M). The difference in information distribution and access about Covid19 between rural and urban citizens connected to the awareness of doing 3M. This research aims to analyze the correlation between awareness and practicing wearing masks, washing hands, and physical distancing within rural and urban citizens. Methods: Data was collected using mixed-method survey, was done both online and offline to reach respondents from several provinces in Indonesia. Data retrieval was done using a questionnaire, and there were 2,196 people participated as respondents. Results and Discussion: Logistic regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.042; OR = 1.117), sex (p = 0.000; OR = 0.377), living area (p = 0.000; OR = 2.291), and knowledge (p = 0,000; OR = 1,450) have the significant relation with respondents' awareness of doing 3M. The age group of 27-36 years old, female, and well-knowledged respondents has a higher awareness of doing 3M than other groups. Rural citizens with a good awareness of doing 3M (87.78%) are bigger than urban citizens (76.02%). Conclusion: The good awareness of rural citizens has shown that both area's citizens already had the equality of information access, especially about Covid19 prevention and the government's policy and programs to reduce the spread of Covid199

Resumo Objetivou-se verificar a adesão às medidas de prevenção em idosos com maior predisposição a formas graves de COVID-19 e sua associação e interação com o apoio social. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado em amostra de 3.477 participantes do inquérito telefônico do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (iniciativa ELSI-COVID-19), que informaram ter saído de casa na semana anterior à realização do inquérito. A adesão foi aferida pela frequência com que saiu de casa, necessidade de sair de casa, uso de máscara e higienização das mãos. As análises basearam-se no modelo Poisson com variância robusta. Idade ≥ 65 anos, hipertensão, diabetes e obesidade foram considerados fatores predisponentes para formas graves de COVID-19. O apoio social incluiu o arranjo domiciliar e a conexão social na pandemia. Aproximadamente 46% apresentaram melhor adesão, que foi associada positivamente ao número de fatores predisponentes para formas graves. O apoio social não foi associado à adesão e não modificou essa associação, após ajustamentos. Conclui-se que a adesão às medidas de prevenção, que deveria ser estendida a todos, está concentrada nos idosos com maior predisposição a formas graves de COVID-19, independentemente do apoio social.

“…A 12-item measure assessing handwashing was developed for this study. This measure was adapted from previous measures [3,4,6] to capture adherence across situations [1]. The stem 'During the previous week, I've usually washed my hands (for at least 20 seconds, all surfaces of the hands)' was followed by the 8 situational contexts speci ed in the WHO guidelines: 'Before, during, and after preparing food', 'Before eating food', 'Before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with vomiting or diarrhea', 'After using the toilet', 'After blowing my nose, coughing, or sneezing', 'After touching garbage', 'After visiting public spaces', 'When my hands were visibly dirty'.…”

“…Improving hand hygiene practices may reduce COVID-19 rates as SARS-CoV-2 survives up to 9 hours on human skin [2]. Studies conducted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic showed handwashing or sanitizing rates were as high as 97% in some population segments and circumstances (e.g., older people, washing or sanitizing hands for 20 seconds after returning home [3]) and as low as 53% in others (e.g., young adults, washing or sanitizing hands after coughing or sneezing [4]). The WHO [1] and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [5] handwashing guidelines specify 'how', 'how long', and 'when' to wash/sanitize hands.…”

“…[1]. Although measures of handwashing applied during the COVID-19 pandemic usually address 'how' and 'how long' rules, they refer to selected situations only (e.g., after coughing/sneezing or returning home [3,4,6]), or assess washing/sanitizing hands 'regularly' [7], without accounting for the situational context, addressed in the WHO [1] guidelines.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people’s engagement in health behaviors, especially those that protect individuals from SARS-CoV-2 transmission, such as handwashing/sanitizing. Associations between the pandemic’s trajectory and engagement in the protective behavior of handwashing are unclear. This study investigated whether adherence to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) handwashing guidelines is associated with (i) total cases of COVID-19 morbidity/mortality accumulated since the onset of the pandemic, (ii) recent cases (country-level COVID-19 morbidity/mortality in the 14 days prior to data collection), (iii) increases/acceleration in recent cases (country-level COVID-19 morbidity/mortality in the previous 14 days minus cases recorded 14-28 days earlier), and (iv) stringency of the national containment-and-health policies (in the 7 days prior to data collection).Methods: The observational study (#NCT04367337) enrolled 6,064 adults residing in Australia, Canada, China, France, Gambia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, and Switzerland. Data on cross-situational handwashing adherence were collected via an online survey (March–July 2020). Individual data were matched with the WHO daily reports of COVID-19 and indices of containment-and-health policies. Country-level human development index and sociodemographic variables were controlled.Results: Multilevel regression models indicated that as the total cases of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality grew higher, handwashing adherence decreased. As increases in recent cases of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality occurred, handwashing adherence increased. Higher levels of containment-and-health policy index were associated with lower handwashing.Conclusions: Research investigating protective behaviors should account for indicators of fluctuations of COVID-19 morbidity/mortality, besides accounting for time since the beginning of the pandemic.Trial Registration: Clinical Trials.Gov, #NCT04367337, first registration date: 29/04/2020
