Nenita B. Panaligan, RN, MA. The purpose of this study is to determine the status of the biological disaster risk
reduction practices in the households of level Ill medical technology students during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The descriptive design of the research was utilized, and the normative
survey method was used in the gathering of data. The three-part questionnaires were
developed and adapted from the policies and standards of CDC and IATF guidelines and
distributed to the participants through google forms. Using convenience sampling and
Slovin's formula, researchers selected a total of 170 level Ill medical technology students as
respondents.
The inquiry was performed from the 10th up to the 20th of May 2021. Based on the
findings, most members of the households were in the working class comprised of ages 22
to 59 years old. The main sources of information about the household practices during
COVID-19 for each household were social media (such as Facebook), and news from
television. Most of the participants' households have well-ventilated homes. Most family
members of the participants do not go outside of their houses but instead mostly stay in the
bedroom during vacant hours. General maintenance of the home of the participants was
excellent as most families cleaned and disinfected their houses on a daily regular basis.
Sanitary practices of the participants follow the standard health protocols in terms of
wearing masks and face shields when going out. Isolation practices of the participants were
the worst as isolation of sick members exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 were not always
followed.
