berbagai macam spekulasi tentang penyebaran virus Corona, sehingga menimbulkan kecemasan yang
dapat menurunkan sistem imun tubuh seseorang dan dapat pula meningkatkan tekanan darah lansia.
Faktor yang menyebabkan seseorang merasa cemas akan pandemic ini adalah informasi yang kurang

The world is currently being hit by a disaster in the form of a virus that is very dangerous and causes
many deaths and creates fear for the community, namely the coronavirus or what is often called covid-
19. Lack of knowledge about the Covid19 pandemic can lead to various kinds of speculation about the
spread of the Corona virus, causing anxiety that can lower a person's immune system and can also
increase the blood pressure of the elderly. The factor that causes someone to feel anxious about this
pandemic is the inaccurate information someone gets about the disease. This study aims to determine
the relationship between knowledge and attitudes elderly towards elderly anxiety during the COVID-19
pandemic at Sukajadi Health Center Palembang in 2021. The study was conducted from may 25 to June
25, 2021. This study used a quantitative method with a cross sectional approach. The population in this
study were all the elderly who came to the Sukajadi Health Center in Palembang. Samples were taken by
accidental sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using Chi Square
test. The results of this study indicate that 29 (65.9%) poor knowledge and 15 (34.1%). 22 (50%) positive
attitudes of the elderly and 22 (50%) negative attitudes of the elderly. respondents who experienced
moderate anxiety were 25 (56.8%) and those who experienced mild anxiety were 19 (43.2%). Bivariate
analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and anxiety in the elderly during the
COVID-19 pandemic with a p value of 0.024 and there was a relationship between the attitude of the
elderly towards elderly anxiety during the COVID-19 period with a p value of 0.006. It is hoped that the
Bandar agung Health Center will be able to provide various information about the COVID-19 disease
through health education and posters to increase public understanding about the causes and methods
of transmission and prevention of COVID-19 and how to behave during a pandemic to avoid exposure to
the Covid virus.
