CALDERON-CHONILLO, Ángela María e CASTANEDA-BRAVO, Pedro Salvador. Knowing Prevention of COVID-19 and the Socio-Family Environment with Elderly Adult. Estudios del Desarrollo Social [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.1 Epub 01-Mar-2023. ISSN 2308-0132.
COVID-19 marked the lives of human beings from every point of view. Daily social dynamics and lifestyles had to be adapted to the new conditions of social isolation to which humanity was subjected. Social gaps and inequalities were accentuated and the vulnerability of certain social groups became more visible, especially among older adults. For this reason, the objective of this study is to analyze knowledge about the prevention of COVID-19 and its relationship with the socio-family environment of the elderly. Based on its compliance, a non-experimental and cross-sectional investigation of a correlational type was developed based on a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of 375 older adults who live in the community of Santa Martha in the city of Chone, of which 74 met the requirements for both inclusion and exclusion. The data obtained were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using Microsoft Excel, as well as SPSS version 26 and Pearson's chi-square software. This research made it possible to determine, among other results, that the prevention measures against COVID-19 are not applied by the majority of the elderly, despite their knowledge.
