Prehabilitation or community knowledge involves interventions aimed at improving patients’ health before an anticipated upcoming physiologic stressor so that they are better able to withstand that stress. Silver (2020)
One of the technologically advanced products of knowledge management in the remote working, which lessens vulnerability and likelihood to such highly contagious infections, through distancing the remote worker from the potential illness exposure. This will enhance both quality and quantity of service to the patients due to elimination of fear and anxiety of transmission of infections from patients to health-care personnel. Roubein and Luthi (2020).
In view of the current absence of COVID-19 cure, the only available ray of hope is exclusively knowledge-sharing, which concentrates on prevention. These knowledge-sharing guidelines from Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Defense (DOD) are integrated into the knowledge management grid for effective execution. Otherwise COVID-19’s sudden, rapid, uncontrolled, and worldwide emergence and spread has rendered matchless the present medical equipment and healthcare facility (DeMeijer, 2020).
Thus prior knowledge on the pandemic would create a better understanding, it also take a way anxiety and mental issues arising from unverified information’s, valuable knowledge needed in pandemic also helps the community to understand and to create a more susceptible ways in combating this pandemic.
Information is gain by the students must be check if it’s true and verified, so schools must teach the students valuable knowledge prior the pandemic, preparation on this kind disaster must be loaded into curriculum so that students will understand easily and get the information correctly.
The aim of this study is to check if the students of Vicente Madrigal Integrated School has a valuable knowledge in this situation, prior to this community quarantine a teachers are instructed to teach the students the proper ways and prevention of this disease. Thus this study will confirm if the students apply this knowledge on their daily lives.
