Abstract

This study assessed the knowledge and compliance to COVID-19 prevention strategies among market women in Ibadan south east local government in Oyo state. A cross-sectional design was used and semi-structured questionnaire was also used as a tool to collect data from market women in Ibadan south east local government in Oyo state. Purposive sampling techniques was used to recruit 422 respondents.  Data were analyzed using descriptive such as frequency tables and percentages  were used and inferential statistics  such as chi-square was used to determine the level of statistical significant or association between knowledge of respondents and their level of compliance  . Majority (37.9%) of the respondents age were within the range of 27-33 years, more than half (80.3%) of the respondents were married with high level of education (48.6% secondary level of education). More than half of the respondents (81.3%%) knew that COVID-19 spread through respiratory droplet. About 88.4% of the respondents strongly agree that market women are ready to comply with the standard precaution. 82.0% of the respondents agreed that market place is the fasted place to get contaminated with Covid-19. Regular hand washing and social distancing‖ was selected by most respondents (82.9%) as a way of preventing infection. Finding revealed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge of the respondent and their level of compliance of Covid -19 among selected market women in Ibadan southeast LGA with p value less than 0.05 Findings revealed that market women in Ibadan southeast LGA have relatively high knowledge, mostly derived from their source of information, about COVID-19 with mean and standard deviation 1.574 ± 0.495. The level of compliance of COVID-19 among selected market women in Ibadan southeast LGA was also high with mean and standard deviation 1.692 ± 0.462. Evidence-based campaign should be intensified to remove misconceptions and promote precautionary measures.
