Abstract

Coronaviruses are part of the virus family that causes illnesses ranging from the flu to more severe illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. COVID-19 is a new type of disease that was discovered in 2019 and has never been identified as affecting humans before. The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of mothers with the behavior of using masks in children in the prevention of COVID. This research was a correlational analytic study. The population in this study was 37 respondents, taken as a sample using a simple random sampling technique as many as 33 respondents. Data was analyzed by the Chi-square test & Spearman Rank test. Based on the results of the Spearman rank test on the knowledge and attitude variable, the Asymp value is obtained. Sig is 0,000 <α (0.05), which means that there is a relationship between maternal knowledge and attitude with the behavior of using masks in children in efforts to prevent COVID-19. The mother’s behavior in using masks on children is determined by knowledge and attitudes. The information that is absorbed by mothers regarding the use of masks to prevent direct transmission of the coronavirus will increase the knowledge and attitudes of mothers, and the increasing knowledge and attitudes of mothers will increase the behavior of mothers in using masks to children
