Abstract
To suppress the Covid-19 pandemic, a series of preventive measures, both promotive and interventive were taken. From small children to the elderly, socialization continues to be carried out. However, there are quite a lot of risk factors for the elderly group, including comorbidity and elderly age. Then how about individuals living with the elderly? This research looks at the Covid-19 preventive behavior in individuals living with the elderly through the lens of the Health Belief Model (HBM) and individual perceptions of the susceptibility of the elderly to Covid-19 infection. Of the 305 research participants, the research results show that the Health Belief Model and individual perceptions of the elderly's vulnerability to Covid-19 infection can explain almost 25% (R2 = 0.247) the variance of Covid-19 prevention behavior. Two variables were found to be significant in predicting Covid-19 prevention behavior, namely perceived benefits and cues to action. Therefore, if the individual knows that carrying out Covid-19 preventive behavior has many advantages and is awakened with information related to Covid-19 prevention, he will be more inclined to carry out Covid-19 preventive behavior.
