The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for mask production which has caused the problem of mask waste generating in the environment without being managed. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and sociodemographic factors with college student behaviours in managing household mask waste in Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta Province.
This study used a quantitative approach and cross-sectional study design. Data collection was carried out using an online questionnaire consisting of the respondents' sociodemographic, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours.
The majority of students had high knowledge (63.3%), positive attitudes (52.5%), and good behaviours (50.6%). Statistically, there was a significant relationship between knowledge and behaviours (p = 0.022), but there was no significant relationship between attitudes and behaviours (p = 0.269). In addition, the sociodemographic factor variables showed a significant relationship between place of residence and behaviours (p = 0.008). However, there was no significant relationship between age, gender, education, and study program groups and behaviours (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that living with family was a dominant factor for bad behaviours (OR 1.664, 95% CI=1.124-2.464), and the second risk factor was the low level of knowledge has a significant relationship with the behaviours of mask waste management at home (OR=1.559, 95% CI=1.044-2.330).
Students who live alone also show better behaviour compared to students who live with their families. The place of residence variable has the greatest influence on the behaviour of mask waste management at the household, followed by the knowledge variable.
COVID-19 大流行增加了对口罩生产的需求，这导致了在没有得到管理的情况下，环境中产生了口罩废物的问题。本研究旨在确定知识、态度和社会人口因素与雅加达特别行政区（DKI）大学生管理家庭口罩废物行为之间的关系。
本研究采用定量方法和横断面研究设计。通过在线问卷收集数据，问卷包括受访者的社会人口统计学、知识、态度和行为。
大多数学生具有较高的知识（63.3%）、积极的态度（52.5%）和良好的行为（50.6%）。统计学上，知识和行为之间存在显著关系（p=0.022），但态度和行为之间没有显著关系（p=0.269）。此外，社会人口统计学因素变量显示居住地与行为之间存在显著关系（p=0.008）。然而，年龄、性别、教育程度和学习专业群体与行为之间没有显著关系（p>0.05）。多变量分析显示，与家人同住是不良行为的主要因素（OR=1.664，95%CI=1.124-2.464），其次是知识水平低与家庭口罩废物管理行为有显著关系（OR=1.559，95%CI=1.044-2.330）。
与与家人同住的学生相比，独居的学生表现出更好的行为。居住地变量对家庭口罩废物管理行为的影响最大，其次是知识变量。
