ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic demands effective health education efforts to improve public knowledge, perceptions, and preventive behaviors. This literature review synthesizes findings from five articles focused on COVID-19 health education in the Indonesian community. The review process was conducted through searches in Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using keywords related to COVID-19 education and prevention, with publication periods ranging from 2021 to 2025. The five selected articles were analyzed based on the quality of their content and their relevance to the review's objectives. The synthesis results indicate that educational methods, both in-person and digitally through social media such as TikTok and Instagram Live, provide increased knowledge and understanding of health protocols and influence public behavior in preventing COVID-19 transmission. Despite variations in approaches, all studies demonstrate a positive impact of education on increasing public awareness. This literature review confirms that health education is a key component of COVID-19 prevention efforts, especially when combined with easily accessible digital media.
