CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

This ongoing disease SAR-COV-2 or also known as COVID-19 a new

coronavirus that has spread throughout the world and become the reason for the World

Health Organization (WHO) to declare it as a pandemic. The then novel coronavirus

(SarS-CoV-2) were first reported by officials in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019.

This virus had a major effect on every country especially to those who are in a third world

country like Philippines, these countries need to implement more direct control measures

and safety protocols in hopes of avoiding the spread of this new strain of virus. (Shereen

et. al 2020; McLeod 2020; Secon et. al 2020)

The presence of this disease (COVID-19) in our world make us vulnerable and

it shows that most of the countries is not ready for this kind of situation, most common

people lacks information about this new virus and resulting of a high risk of having being

infected. Life after life is fading because of this disease and it continues till this day. The

main goal of this study is to gain more understanding about the knowledge of Residents

of Basey has about SAR-COV-2 or also known as COVID-19 Disease, also to know the

practices of safety measures they follow.

Philippines entirely has 42,046 barangays as of 2021 and estimated of about

109,581,078 people in the Philippines according to UN data. Since the Philippines had

implemented protocols to follow in and out of the household to lessen the number of

people getting infected by the virus. It is democratically known, that hand washing is the

primary action in combatting the virus, followed by social distancing, and wearing of face
 2

mask and face shield. Although, everyone knew already why it must be done that way,

some of the people don't know how to follow protocols properly, it is because some of

them having lack of knowledge and practice regarding the virus and the disease it carries.

People wore face shield and facemasks only for compliance and they tend to ignore the

possibilities of catching the virus.

There is a lot of study conducted to know the level of knowledge, practice and

attitude about outbreak causes by different infectious disease such as the influenza shun

H1N1 disease and the severe acute respiratory syndrome. (Labban L, et al, 2020). Other

literatures such as the study of Leechang et.al (2020), have provided significant and

opportune perception in how household from the lowest income quintile of a low income

and middle countries take And how they look concerning of this new strain of coronavirus

or the COVID-19 had found out that few of the participant’s shows had a low rate

knowledge about the virus, age gap, socio-economic status and level of educational

attainment has a very big effect to the people who had low knowledge, those who had

highest level of educational attainment and has higher income shows good knowledge

about the virus.

Despite of being named a COVID-19 hotspot in Samar, no study has been

conducted to determine the level of Knowledge and Practices of Safety measures in

Basey, Samar. Having no information on the level of knowledge and level of practices of

the residents, the local government would have no basis on what things to improve on

educating their residents and what to focus on.

Due to this the researchers took the challenge to conduct this study. This study

was conducted to help the local government in measuring the level of Knowledge on
 3

COVID-19 and the level of Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19 which could be

used to identify what to improve upon. Previous studies such as the study of Labban,

et. al. (2020) and L. Zhi Hao, et. al. (2020) uses three variables which is Attitudes,

Knowledge, and Practices wherein in our study we only used the Knowledge and

Practices but added the significant difference between variables in each demographic.

The results of this study would help identify the Level of Knowledge and Practices

of Safety Measures on COVID-19 of Barangay Loyo Basey, Samar which could be used

as basis for improvements in educating the residents regarding the virus. There is a

significant relationship between the level of knowledge and level of practices of safety

measures of barangay Loyo Basey, Samar hence having a Good level of Knowledge on

COVID-19 would result in the Practices of safety measures being always followed.

Theoretical Framework

The study anchored on the Protective Motivation theory by Rogers (1983). The

study would use the said theory by knowing what actions the residents of Barangay Loyo

Basey, Samar take the more they know about the virus.. The first factor of the Protection

Motivation Theory which is the Threat appraisal used to figure out the severity and

examine the condition of how serious the situation, through the increasing of active cases

this factor have a big support through identifying the current situation in Brgy. Loyo

Basey, Samar the second factor the coping appraisal focused in how individuals respond

on that situation, after we know and examined the situation by the second factor, we

discovered what are the different responses of each of the participant. This theory is useful

and serve as a handrail for the researcher to determining the level of knowledge and

attitude on the COVID-19 vaccine of Brgy. Loyo Basey, Samar.

 4

Conceptual Framework

The purpose of the study would be assessing the public Knowledge on COVID-

19 disease amongst the residents of Basey, Samar Philippine which is one of the few

provinces to be determined as a COVID-19 hotspot in region 8. Using a survey

questionnaire, this study will also aim to identify the various factors that affects the extent

of COVID-19 Knowledge amongst the selected respondents. Furthermore, it reveals the

correlating relationships between specific demographics and the Knowledge of COVID-

19. This study determined the relationship between the level of COVID-19 Knowledge

and the Practices of Safety Measure of the participant would follow, in order to help

contain COVID-19. This study has determined the significant difference in each

demographic namely among the Age (Children, Youth, Adults, and Seniors), Sex (Male

and Female), Socio-economic Status (Poor, Low-income, Mid-income), and Educational

Attainment (Elementary, High School, College, Post-college)

Statement of the Problem

The global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 disease has been the major

problem of almost every country for the past year, and the Philippines is no exception. It

has been a great concern that most common people does not have any idea on what

COVID-19 really is, and some out rightly deny the existence of such therefore we the

researchers decided to conduct this study. This study aims to determine the Knowledge

and practices of the community on safety measures of covid-19. Specifically, it seeks to

answer the following questions:

1. What are the profile of the respondents?

2. What is the level of Knowledge on covid-19 of the respondents?

3. What is the level of practices of safety measures on COVID-19 of the

respondents?

4. Is there a significant difference on the level of knowledge on COVID-19 in

terms of their demographic profile?

5. Is there a significant difference on the level of practice of safety measures on

COVID-19 in terms of their demographic profile?

6. Is there a significant relationship between the level of Knowledge and

practices of safety measures on Covid-19?

Null - Hypothesis

This study tackled the following null hypothesis:

1. There is no significant difference on the level of knowledge on COVID-19 in

terms of Age, Sex, Socio-economic status, and Educational Attainment.

 7

2. There is no significant difference on the level of practices of safety measures

on COVID-19 in terms of Age, Sex, Socio-economic status, and Educational

Attainment.

3. There is no significant relationship between the level of Knowledge on

COVID-19 and the Practices of Safety Measures for COVID-19

Significance of the Study

This study should be ushered to discover the awareness of the residents of Basey,

Samar, regarding COVID-19, and what are their practices and precautionary measures in

combatting the virus. The following will benefit in this study:

Residents of Barangay Loyo

The study will benefit students because it will give them insight on what

information they lack regarding the virus and the level of practices of safety measures

that their barangay has.

Parents

The study would benefit the parents for them to be able to feel the responsibility

of educating their families , preventing them from going to public places, and make them

realize of the dangers the virus come with and will lead them to be more careful about

what they are doing and to change their bad habits, and following the practices and safety

measures implemented of the community from home.

 8

Local Government Unit

This study will also benefit the Local Government to be aware on the level of

awareness of their residents, so that they could take prepare steps on properly educating

them.

Front Liners

This study will also help the front liners who are combating the virus on a daily

basis as to remind them that as health professionals they have the duty to educate those

who are ignorant of the dangers of the virus.

Scope and Delimitation

This study focuses on the Knowledge and Practices on COVID-19 Safety

Precautionary measures of Brgy, Loyo Basey, Samar. The study employed 77

respondents from the population of Brgy. Loyo, Basey, Samar aging 18-59.

The study considered some aspects of the respondent’s personal information that

may have an impact on their knowledge and practices on COVID-19 safety precautionary

measures such as their Age, their Gender, their Socio-economic Status, and their

Educational attainment. Each respondent have been given the same questionnaires to

answer in the month of May, and focused on their knowledge of COVID-19 and Practices

of Safety measures.

Definition of Terms

This study uses words that could be misinterpreted for other meaning, in this

section we would define them in context to this study.

 9

COVID-19. This term refers to the disease caused by the virus called SarS-Cov-

2 that has infected millions of people throughout the globe.

Knowledge on COVID-19. The quality or amount of information a person has

on a particular subject. In this research it would be the information or knowledge a

residents of Brgy. Loyo, Basey, Samar has about COVID-19

Practices of Safety Measures. The practices observed by the residents of Brgy.

Loyo, Basey, Samar to ensure their safety from COVID-19.

Respondent’s Profiles. The respondents profiles on this study are the personal

information we extracted from the respondents and would be used the group them into

different demographics, in terms of age, sex, socioeconomic status, educational

attainment
 10

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In this ongoing pandemic, deficiency on knowledge and practices about this

infectious disease can result in charivari and fear to the different countries. We should

more spread the information about this disease rather spreading the virus itself, a clear

and proper way of distributing the information can save many lives and it can act as a

wake-up call to everyone that we should follow protocols and take this COVID-19

seriously. Following the news, being observant, and updated about this COVID-19 is the

best weapon to fight this pandemic along with the positive behavior and safety practices

is a plays a huge role in avoiding the spread of corona virus.

According to the study of Labban, et.al (2020) people above the socioeconomic

spectrum meaning those who have higher-income households have more knowledge and

awareness regarding the virus, while being on the other end of the spectrum or being part

of the low-income households would have the smallest knowledge and Knowledge of

COVID-19, suggesting that the health pessionals focus on educating these type of people

to help lessen the chances of COVID-19 from spreading.

According to an article of Amazona (2020) “Covid-19 cases in Samar village

climb to 41” From just one case a week ago, a village in Basey, Samar now has 41

confirmed coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases as residents continue to ignore health

protocols, the Department of Health (DOH) said on Thursday. The number of Covid-19

infected persons in Villa Aurora village climbed to 21 on August 7 and doubled after five

days, the DOH said in a statement.

 11

The First part of Literature review focused on survey and scaling of different

country to identify the level of Knowledge of its community on COVID-19. On this part

we will focused on the Practices, attitude and the knowledge of people in SARS-CoV-2

or also known as COVID-19.

Statistics found on the study of Zhi-Hao (2020) studied with the help of

respondents numbering 120,000, run a rapid assessment on worker’s knowledge, attitude,

and practices (KAP) in relation to COVID-19 in the midst of an ongoing outbreak and

discovered that the degree of knowledge has a mean of sixteen point three out of twenty,

attitudes has a mean of four point five out of six points, and practices have a mean of five

point eight out of six points on COVID-19 is relatively high. Despite this, there are still

holes in the knowledge, misconceptions, and discriminatory perceptions on COVID-19.

Cahapay (2020) started a study using a sample of one-hundred twenty three

residents of Region XII of the Philippines, it is one of the few regions with a small

probability of COVID-19 instances. A large number of them follow distinct measures.

They implement rules such as maintaining a set distance between each other, no physical

contacts on greetings, simply conveying signals through other means aside from verbal,

prefer activities that could be done at home, choosing the proper time for errands, and

applying protective items.

As indicated in the previous part of this literature review, it’s clearly stated that

the direct relationship between the Community and Knowledge and Practices of Safety

Measures on COVID-19 and in this study just like the study of Labban an Zhao we tried

to determine the level of knowledge of the residents. The level of Knowledge and

Practices of safety measures on COVID-19 differs on each country, that shows how our
 12

study is different, aside from it was conducted in Barangay Loyo, Basey, Samar,

Philippines, it will focus on Filipino residents of the said barangay and will correlate the

knowledge of the residents on COVID-19 and how this residents often follow the

protocols inside the barangay and outside of their households. The only similarity is that

this study anticipate the same result from the foresaid literature wherein, this study would

stimulate how the socioeconomic status of the Filipino residents affect their knowledge

and practices on COVID-19.

 13

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the description of the research process. It provides

information concerning the method that was used in undertaking this study. This chapter

would describe the various stages of the study.

Research Design

The study employs two research designs. Descriptive cross-sectional survey

design and Correlational Research Design. Descriptive research is a study of status which

is mostly used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and the behavioral sciences

according to Koh and Owen (2000). The researchers employed descriptive research

because they tried to describe in a quantitative way the status of the Barangay’s level of

Knowledge and Practices of Safety measures on COVID-19 using a cross-sectional

survey method to gather the data. Correlational research design seeks to ascertain

relationships between two or more variables according to Tan (2014) and in this research

the researchers seek to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the

practices of safety measures on COVID-19 of the residents of Barangay Loyo Basey,

Samar.
 14

Research Locale

This study was conducted at Barangay Loyo Basey, Samar that has a population

of 1,409. The researchers selected the barangay as the place for the study because Basey,

Samar is one of the few municipalities in Samar that was designated as COVID-19

hotspot with an overall of 248 confirmed cases, 15 which is are still active by the time of

writing of this study and 31 of these cases recorded in the municipality are from Barangay

Loyo.
 15

Research Instruments

This study modulated a cross-sectional survey design and used a researcher-made

questionnaire to assess the knowledge and practices of safety measures on COVID-19 of

Barangay Loyo, Basey, Samar. The questions have been formulated from the facts on

COVID-19 and suggested practices of safety measures released by the World Health

Organization, the formulated questionnaire is expected to help in answering the research

problems presented on this study. The questionnaire have three sections; Demographic,

Knowledge, and Practices of Safety Measures sections. The demographic section was

used to gather the respondents demographic information.. In this section we asked for the

respondents age group which is based on the study of Petry (2002) which separates them

into three categories; Young Adult, Middle Adult, and Older Adult. The section would

also gather the respondent’s Gender, Monthly Family income based on PSA surveys, and

Highest Education attained, the researchers opted to group them up depending on which

level they attained, for example whether a person graduate or did not graduate Elementary

they would still be grouped into the same category. Second section is where we have

Yes/No questions to measure the level of Knowledge of the respondents on COVID-19,

and the Third Section consists of a three-point Likert scale to measure the safety

precautionary measures of the respondents.

Respondents and Sampling of the Study

The study employed respondents aging 18 – 59 among the population of Barangay

Loyo, Basey, Samar which are the only ones who are allowed to go out during the

lockdown period and have more chances to be exposed to the virus. a simple random
 17

sampling method to randomly pick 253 respondents which is 35% of the number of

possible respondents from the population. The respondents were randomly selected from

the list of names given by the Barangay using Microsoft excel.

Validation of Research Instrument

The researchers employed the help of 30 respondents to answer the research

instrument and the results of the data collected have been checked for internal consistency

using Chronbach Alpha. Cronbach Alpha is a statistical tool which is commonly used by

researchers to show that tests and scales that have been constructed for research projects

are fit for purpose usually as a measure of reliability, Taber (2018). We tested the two

sections separately with the Knowledge section having a Cronbach Alpha result of 0.71

meaning the internal consistency is acceptable, while the Practices of Safety Measures

section gained a Cronbach alpha result of .80 meaning the internal consistency is Good.

Method of Scoring

The study would use a different scoring method for each section of the

questionnaire to give implications on the resulting data.

Knowledge on COVID-19

To measure the level of knowledge of the respondents on COVID-19, we

employed a simple scoring system. Each correct answer is given 1 point and the incorrect

answers is given none. Since we used 10 statements in this section, to determine the level

of knowledge we used the following parameter;

 18

Scores Description

9 – 10 Excellent

7–8 Good

5–6 Fair

3–4 Poor

1–2 Very Poor

Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19

To measure the level of practices of safety measures on COVID-19 of the

respondents we used a weighted scoring where the answers are given corresponding

weights wherein Always has a weight of (3), Sometimes has a weight of (2), and Never

has a weight of (1). Since we used a 3-point Likert scale there would be 3 parameters in

scoring and they are:

Range Description

3.00 – 2.34 Always

1.68 – 2.33 Sometimes

1.00 – 1.67 Never

Data Collection Procedure

The researchers opted to ask for help from the Barangay officials of Loyo for a

list of residents who are aged 18-59 and will be randomly picking names among the list

given using Microsoft excel. Then the researchers would also ask the help of SK officials

in identifying the addresses of the randomly picked respondents and visit their residence

while maintaining the protocols for safety against COVID-19. Once we made contact we

will explain everything that the respondent needs to know about the study and how their
 19

input would be used, Then we would ask for consent from the respondents if they are

willing to participate on the study, and if they give consent we will hand-out the survey

questionnaire and wait for them till they fill it up. Among the 253 randomly picked

respondents 9 of the returned questionnaires are either incomplete or was left blank and

was deemed unusable for data analysis therefore was not included.

Statistical Treatment of Data

Responses collected for analysis and summarization. Each section would be

averaged and the researchers would give their interpretation on what the average could

mean based on the method of scoring. The researchers tested the data for normality,

resulting in the data not being normally distributed therefore the researchers opted to use

non-parametric tests equivalent for One-Way Anova which is Kruskal-Wallis test to find

if there is a significant difference in each demographic profile on their knowledge on

COVID-19 and Practices of safety Measures on COVID-19. And lastly the researchers

employed Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient to correlate the knowledge on COVID-19

and Practices of safety measures on COVID-19

Ethical Consideration

The researchers ensures that full consent is obtained from the respondents prior to the

study, it is to guarantee that nobody in this paper are forced to take part with the survey.

The privacy of the respondents will remain confidential and are all given a shot to answer

the following questions with all honesty. The anonymity of the individuals is guaranteed

that they are not subjected in any harm. This study protected all the information obtained
 20

from the respondents and acknowledge their involvement by giving them highlights of

how and why are we requesting for their participation.

 21

CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This section presents the results of the data we collected from the residents of

Barangay Loyo Basey, Samar after it had undergone analysis and statistical treatment,

and in this section we discuss what the results may imply. We tried to arrange the result

and discussion section in the same order as the research question we try to answer them

with.

Respondents’ Profiles

This section would discuss the profiles of the respondents involved in the study

and would be separated based on different demographics such as age, sex, socioeconomic

status, and educational attainment.

Table 1

Elementary 57 23%

Educational Attainment High School 72 30%

College 93 38%
Post-college 22 9%
 22

In Table 1 shows that in this study the researchers grouped the respondent’s age

into three categories where those who are 18 – 35 years are grouped into Young Adults

with a frequency of 35 which is 45% of the total respondents, 36 – 55 years old are

grouped into middle-aged adults with a frequency of 34 which is 44% of the respondents,

and lastly those who are 56 – 59 years old are grouped into older adults with a frequency

of 8 which is 11% of the total respondents. The respondents of the study have 35 males

which is 45% of the respondents, and 42 are females which is 55% of the respondents.

The researchers also categorized the respondents based on their socio-economic status

where 40 (51%) considers themselves as poor, 30 (39%) considers themselves from a

low-income family, and 7(10%) considers themselves from a Mid-income family. The

study also categorized the respondents based on their educational attainment wherein

31(40%) only reached elementary, 10(13%) have studied until High School, 31(40%)

have studied until college, and only 5(7%) took up post-college studies.

Knowledge on COVID-19

This section presents the knowledge of the respondents on COVID-19,

quantifying the data collected from the questionnaire which is a Yes/No type of survey

with correct answers.

Figure 3 shows the responses for each question and the number of correct and

wrong answers. In the table you could see that less than half among the respondents know

that the COVID-19 disease is not caused by bacteria which is something that the barangay

needs to have actions on, because some might take antibiotics if not educated properly,
 23

Barker (2017). 24% of the respondents do not know that there could be asymptomatic

people which could have them complacent towards the people around them. Only 8% of

the respondents did not know that COVID-19 are spread through droplets, although it is

a small number this information is very important and needs to be ingrained towards the

residents (Jayaweera 2020). In the statement that COVID-19 has a cure only 31% of the

respondents got the correct answer and the possible cause of this low score would be a

confusion that the vaccine is a cure (Mekonnen et, al. 2020). Another troubling score is

on the statement that COVID-19 cannot survive in humid climate where 67% got the

wrong answer, this is possibly caused by the misinterpretation of a study that SarS-CoV-

2 cannot survive in high temperature which is true but the climate would not have a high

enough temperature to kill them. This is troubling because this could lead to the residents

to believe that they would be safe from COVID if it is hot outside, possible exposing

them to the virus by being complacent. (Mekonnen et, al. 2020).

Table 2 shows the scores on frequency of those who got excellent with 36

(14.75%), Good 149 (61.07%), Fair 55 (22.54%), and Poor 4 (1.64%). Using arithmetic

mean we got a total average score of 7.10 and a standard deviation of 1.40. The average

score shows us that the knowledge of the respondents on COVID-19 is in a good level

and can be attributed to the fact that they have been a COVID-19 hotspot before.

Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19

In this section we discuss the overall result of the responses of the respondents on

their level of practices of safety precautionary measures against COVID-19, the

researchers used a three-point Likert scale in the survey questionnaire for data gathering.
 26

The data gathered from the responses resulted in an Average score of 2.40 and a

standard deviation of 0.41. This result tells us that the respondents follow the practices of

safety measures on COVID-19 suggested by the World Health Organization is on a high

level. Among the practices mentioned, the one asking if they use their elbow when they

cough or sneeze garnered the lowest mean score, meaning that the said practice isn’t

really followed among the residents of Barangay Loyo.

 27

Significant Difference between Demographic

Profile on Knowledge on COVID-19

This section of the paper would show the results for data analysis of the

demographic profiles of the 244 respondents to determine if the null hypothesis would be

accepted. The researches utilized Kruskal-Wallis test a non-parametric test because the

data is not normally distributed. With a significance value of 0.05 wherein if the result

would have a significance of <.05 the null hypothesis would be rejected

The Kruskal – Wallis test on Table 4.1 revealed that there is a significant

difference of knowledge on COVID-19 among the residents of Barangay Loyo, Samar

when grouped based on their age, X2(2) = 8.53, p=.014. The result rejects the null-

hypothesis.

Table 4.2 shows Kruskal-Wallis Post Hoc Test using pairwise comparison, it was

used to identify where the significant difference in knowledge on COVID-19 among the

residents of Barangay Loyo Basey, Samar when categorized according to their age. In

order to ensure the type I errors do not build up more than .05, a correction using

Bonferroni correction was established (alpha = .05 / 3 comparisons) which means that the

alpha is .017 and a p-value of <.008 means there is a significant difference. The finding

revealed that there is a significant difference in knowledge on COVID-19 between Young

Adults and Middle-Aged Adults (U= 4376.500, W= 8296.500, Z = -2.626, p = .009). The

result means that there is a gap in knowledge in COVID-19 between Young Adults and

Middle Aged Adults.

used to identify where the significant difference in knowledge on COVID-19 among the

residents of Barangay Loyo Basey, Samar when categorized according to their socio-

economic status. In order to ensure the type I errors do not build up more than .05, a

correction using Bonferroni correction was established (alpha = .05 / 6 comparisons)

which means that the alpha is .008 and a p-value of <.008 means there is a significant

difference. The finding revealed that there is a significant difference in knowledge on

COVID-19 between Poor and Low-income (U= 3439.000, W= 12755.000, Z = -3.786, p

This section of the paper would show the results of data analysis on the significant

difference between demographic profile on their practices of Safety Measures on

COVID-19. The researches utilized Kruskal-Wallis test a non-parametric test because the

data is not normally distributed. With a significance value of 0.05 wherein if the result

would have a significance of <.05 the null hypothesis would be rejected.

Correlation Between the Knowledge on COVID-19 and the

Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19

The main purpose of this study is to find out if there is a significant relationship

between the level of Knowledge and the level of safety precaution the respondents

follows. And in this Section we would discuss the results of the Pearson Correlation

Coefficient.

CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter consists the summary, conclusion and the recommendation of the whole

study. The results or findings of the study with a brief discussion is found in the summary,

and the generalizations and other inferences related to the study is found in the

conclusions. In the last section the recommendation where the researchers suggestions

could be found, this chapter sum up everything what has been discussed in the whole

study.

SUMMARY

This study was conducted at Barangay Loyo, Basey Samar with a total of 244

respondents among the residents of the Barangay who are 18 – 59 years old. The main

goal of this study is to determine the relationship between the level of Knowledge and

Practices of safety measures being followed by the respondents, and that we the

researchers expected to have the same result from the study of L. Zhi-Hao et.al (2020)

”Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to coronavirus disease 2019 during the

outbreak among workers in China: A Large cross-sectional study” that there is a positive

correlation between the knowledge, and practices related to COVID-19. Same at the

result in the research of The researchers also tried to determine if there is a significant

difference in Knowledge and Practices of safety measures on COVID-19 in each

demographic.
 38

Findings of the Study

In this section of the paper we will present all the results and finding we got during

the course of the study and would answer the research questions from the statement of

the problem.

1. The study employed 244 respondents from the pool of residents aging 18-59 years

old, and collected their demographic profiles in terms of Age, Sex, Socio-

economic status and Educational Attainment. In terms of Age we had 51% Young

adults, 36% Middle-aged Adults, and 13% Older Adults. In terms of Sex 48% are

Males and 52% are Females. In terms of Economic Status 56% are Poor, 30% are

Low-income, 12% are Mid-income, and 2% are High-income. And lastly in terms

of Educational Attainment we have 23% Elementary, 30% High School, 38%

College, and 9% Post-college.

2. The analysis of the data from the Knowledge section resulted in a mean score of

7.31 which means that the respondents have a good knowledge on COVID-19.

3. The analysis of the data from the Practices of Safety Measures section resulted in

a mean score of 2.40 which indicates that the suggested practices of safety

measures are always followed.

4. In testing for significant difference in terms of their level of knowledge on

COVID-19 when they are categorized. In terms of Age it resulted with a

significance value of 0.014 implying that there is a significant difference on the

level of knowledge between the different age groups, A post-hoc test has

determined that the difference between Young Adult and Middle-aged Adult is

statistically significant. In terms of Sex it yielded in a significance value of 1.02

 39

and accepts the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference on the level

of knowledge on COVID-19 between the two sexes. In terms of Socio-economic

status it resulted with a significance value of <.001 which rejects the null-

hypothesis, a Post-hoc test supported this and we discovered that there is a

significant difference between Poor and Low-income, and Poor and Mid-income.

In terms of Educational Attainment also resulted in a significance value of <.001

implying that there is a significant difference in the level of knowledge within the

different educational attainments rejecting the null-hypothesis, a Post-hoc test was

done to find out where the significance is and we found out that there is a

significant difference in knowledge on COVID-19 between Elementary and

College.

5. In testing the significant difference between categories in each demographic

profile in terms of their Practices of Safety Measure resulted in: In terms of Age

it resulted in a significance value of .610 meaning that the null-hypothesis is

accepted and there is no significant difference between the categories in Age

group. In terms of Sex also resulted in the null-hypothesis being accepted with a

significance value of .425 meaning that there is no significant difference between

Males and Females. In terms of Socio-economic status also resulted in the null-

hypothesis being accepted with a significance value .504 meaning that there is no

significant difference between the categories in the Socio-economic status

demographic. And lastly in terms of Educational Attainment, resulted in a

significance value of .003 which rejects the null-hypothesis having a significant

difference between the categories in the demographic, a Post-hoc test was

 40

conducted to know which categories had significant difference and we found out

that there is a significant difference between Elementary and College in their level

of Practices of safety Measures on COVID-19.

6. The Pearson R Correlation test resulted in a correlation of -.050 meaning that there

is negligent correlation between the two variables.

CONCLUSION

1. The study have employed a diverse group of respondents in terms of their

demographic profiles.

2. The fact that Barangay Loyo, Basey, Samar inhabitants scored Good overall

indicates that they have a high degree of COVID-19 knowledge, which may be

related to the fact that the area has previously been a COVID-19 hotspot.

3. The study's finding that the World Health Organization's safety recommendations

are always followed led to the conclusion that the degree of safety measure

practices on COVID-19 is similarly high, showing that the residents have learned

to follow the WHO guidelines to protect themselves having experienced being a

COVID hotspot in the town.

4. In the attempt to find out the significant difference between the categories in a

demographic in terms of their level of knowledge on COVID-19 three

demographics have rejected the null-hypothesis. They are the demographics Age,

Socio-economic status, and Educational Attainment implying that these

demographics is a factor that determines a person’s level of knowledge on

 41

COVID-19. Sex on the other hand have accepted the null-hypothesis and is the

only one which is not relevant in determining the level of knowledge on COVID-

19 of the residents of Barangay Loyo, Basey, Samar.

5. Only the Educational Attainment Demographic rejected the null-hypothesis in the

attempt to determine the statistically significant difference between the categories

in a demographic in terms of their level of practices of safety measures on

COVID-19, indicating that Educational Attainment is a significant factor that

affects the level of Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19. A person's level

of Practices of Safety Measures on COVID-19 among people of Barangay Loyo,

Basey, Samar, is not influenced by the other three demographic factors of age,

sex, or socioeconomic status.

6. The degree of Knowledge and Practices of Safety Measures on the COVID-19

have a negligent negative correlation, indicating that there is no relationship

between them. This might be the case because, despite their lack of understanding

of COVID-19, the residents would still adhere to the advised Practices of Safety

Measures, which is excellent news for the Barangay and evidence of their success

in influencing the inhabitants to do so.

 42

RECOMMENDATION

Even if the study's findings showed a negligent correlation, we

nevertheless recommend that the local government increase its efforts to inform

residents about COVID-19, especially those who come from low-income families or

have less education and receive the lowest scores. In order to aid individuals who are

less educated about the virus and educate them in a way that they can understand, it is

proposed that the barangay host community activities and prevention involving the

community in an effort to lower the likelihood that they would become infected

themselves. In order to further assess the existing level of knowledge on COVID-19

and the practices of safety measures related to COVID-19 among the residents of

Barangay Loyo as well as the neighboring Barangays, we would also recommend a

more extensive survey that would include the entirety of Basey.
