Risk Behavior Assessment Jemaah Makassar dalam Pencegahan Travel Disease Saat Umroh

Abstract

Qualitative study through interviews with congregants from Makassar who had symptoms of illness such as sore throat, fever, cough, flu, and congregants who did not have symptoms of illness admitted that they were not intensive in using masks even though they were in a crowd of congregants. Healthy behavior is an important and effective practice that the congregation can carry out in controlling travel disease pathogens when performing the Umrah pilgrimage. So research is needed that aims to examine the behavior of tourists or Umrah pilgrims during their pilgrimage and assess behavior at risk of contracting travel disease. This research was conducted using quantitative methods. The research subjects were 66 respondents who had just returned from the Umrah pilgrimage, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Measurement of risk behavior was measured using the Preventive Measures for Hajj-Associated Health Risks instrument with modifications. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results showed that high level risk behavior = 32.4%, medium level = 64.7% and low level = 2.9%. It was concluded that the majority of Umrah pilgrims behaved at a moderate level of risk.
