Abstract

Background: Primary prevention plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of a disease or other health problems including Covid-19. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Covid-19 survivors in implementing primary prevention efforts for Covid-19.


Research Method: This Qualitative study used a phenomenological descriptive design. The Study participants comprised Covid-19 survivors in the capital of Aceh Province, Indonesia. Data were collected using demographic data sheets, Covid-19 primary precaution questionnaires, interview guidelines, field notes, and voice recording devices. Data analysis employed a qualitative data analysis technique.


Results: The study shows two main themes regarding Covid-19 survivors’ experiences in implementing primary prevention efforts for Covid-19:  knowledge about primary prevention efforts for Covid-19, and;  obstacles in implementing Covid-19 primary prevention (e.g., use of masks, washing hands, physical distancing, etc)


Conclusion:  Covid-19 primary prevention implementation can have both positive and negative experiences for survivors (people).  Health professionals should consider these in their intervention programs.
