Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious respiratory viral infection caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). At the time this study was conducted, there was no available vaccine, so the government implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) to limit people's activities. These restrictions created stress within the community and may have affected students, as it is suspected that knowledge levels could influence their stress at Senior High School 1 Siborongborong. The objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between knowledge about COVID-19 and student stress levels during the pandemic at Senior High School 1 Siborongborong. A cross-sectional analytical approach was used, with sample size determined by the Slovin formula and data collected via an online questionnaire between May and December 2021. The study included 185 respondents. Statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test yielded a Phi value of 0.374, indicating no correlation between COVID-19 knowledge and stress levels. In conclusion, the study found no relationship between COVID-19 knowledge and stress among students of Senior High School 1 Siborongborong Wholesale.
