Abstract

The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Health has made various preventive efforts to reduce the transmission rate of COVID-19 in Indonesia, including implementing the 5M health protocol and promoting the COVID-19 vaccination program for all levels of society. This research was conducted to determine the effect of implementing the 5M health protocol and the determinants of vaccination on the incidence of COVID-19 in the Kota Tengah Public Health Center area, Gorontalo City. This type of research is an analytic survey, cross sectional design, with Chi-Square test and logistic regression test. The independent variables are the 5M Health protocol (Wearing Masks, Washing hands, Keeping distance, Avoiding crowds, Reducing mobility) and the determinants of vaccination (age, sex, education level, occupation, comorbidities, completeness of vaccinations), while the dependent variable is the incidence of COVID-19 . The research was conducted in November and December 2022 with a total sample of 392 people. The sampling technique used was proportional stratified random sampling. The results of the analysis found that of the 11 variables that had been tested, all of them had a significant relationship with the incidence of COVID-19, but only 5 variables had a significant influence on the incidence of COVID-19 in the Kota Tengah Public Health Center area with a P-value = < 0.05 , namely wearing a mask (0.000), keeping a distance (0.000), reducing mobility (0.000), gender (0.012) and completeness of vaccination (0.000). The conclusion from this study I that the variable that has the most influence on the incidence of COVID-19 in the Kota Tengah Public Health Center area is reduced mobility (p-value 0.000; OR 9.560; CI = 4.657-19.626), which means that respondents who never or occasionally reduce their mobility have a 9.6 times risk of being infected with COVID-19. The community should self-awarely adhere to the 5M health protocol and vaccinate so that it can prevent the spread of COVID-19.
