Abstract

BackgroundOptimizing the role of religious-based communities in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 through the application of self-protection to its facilitators and members is an important part of efforts to stop the pandemic.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of facilitators and members of religious group in implementing self-protection behaviour.

MethodA qualitative study was conducted from August to December 2021 using a purposive sampling approach to collect the data. In total, 6 individual interviews were conducted with facilitators of religious group and one focus group discussion (FGD) with 12 members of religious-based communities. Data analysis was performed using a conventional content analysis approach.

ResultsThe results of this study indicate that both facilitators and members of religious-based communities have a favourable perception of self-protection in religious group. However, this perception is not enough to support readiness in implementing self-protection behaviour. Self-efficacy is still weak, this is indicated by weaknesses in mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and emotional and physiological states variables.

ConclusionIncreasing int ernal and external roles in religious-based communities and strengthening collaboration in the application of self-protection through increasing self-efficacy forming variables in religious group are urgent needs to be carried out in COVID-19 prevention programs.
