Abstract
Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been categorized as a global public health emergency with a rapid rate of transmission and geographical spread.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze the influence of information sources and knowledge on Covid-19 prevention and control behaviors.
Methods: The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of patients who visited the Bergas Community Health Center in Semarang Regency Indonesia, with a sample of 136 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive methods and multiple logistic regression using the SPSS program.
Results: The results showed that the variables of information sources (p=0.002) and knowledge about Covid-19 transmission (p=0.001) had a significant effect on Covid-19 prevention and control behaviors. Knowledge about Covid-19 transmission is the most dominant determinant factor.
Conclusion: These findings confirm that public health practices depend not only on medical policies but also on the effectiveness of information communication, knowledge education, and the formation of sustainable preventive behaviors.
