Abstract

Health promotion needs to be done through schools because by the means of lessons at school, health information, attitudes, and healthy behavior can be conveyed to students. Through the delivery of various lessons, students learn to understand various life phenomena, one of which is the phenomena of illness and disease. The objective of this study was to determine health promotion through schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 232 principals of SD, SMP, SMA, SMK, and SLB (Primary Schools, Junior and Senior High schools, Vocational High schools, and Special Schools) in Indonesia were involved as participants in this study. Participants were requested to complete the COVID-19 Health Literacy School Principals Survey: Questionnaire & Scale, which has been translated into Indonesian. In total, there were 15 health promotion subtest items from a total of 136 question items in the measuring instrument provided. Based on descriptive analysis, we found that (1) all schools in Indonesia have carried out health promotion; (2) 77% of participants have taught students basic information about COVID-19; (3) 74% of participants have taught students how to protect themselves from infection; (4) only 58% of participants provide regular training on health topics, including protection against COVID-19 infection; (5) only 50% of participants have provided regular treatment to deal with student stress due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This information is very useful for designing more effective health promotion through schools in the future.
