Abstract

Consumption-related behavior implemented as an effort to maintain household food security is referred to as a food coping strategy (FCS). This study aims to describe the selection of FCS by families in urban and semi-urban areas in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 517 people who live in urban (Jakarta) and semi-urban (Depok) areas. The research data was taken from primary research data that had been collected online and purposively through Posyandu cadres who had access to family/community in October-December 2020. Data analysis used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the level of household food security (AOR = 12.182; 95% CI = 7.636 – 19.434) and spouse's education (AOR = 2.184; 95% CI = 1.091 – 4.375) were significantly related to the application of household FCS. Food insecured household had 12 times higher risk of implementing FCS than food secured household. Spouse with low education had 2 times higher risk of implementing FCS. Household food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic caused households to implementing several types of FCS. Special attention is needed for food insecured households as not to apply extreme coping strategies, such as not eating at all.

Bahasa Abstract

Perilaku terkait konsumsi yang diterapkan sebagai upaya untuk menjaga ketahanan pangan rumah tangga disebut sebagai food coping strategy (FCS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pemilihan FCS yang dilakukan keluarga pada wilayah urban dan semi urban di Indonesia selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross-sectional dengan total sampel sebanyak 517 orang yang berdomisili di wilayah urban (Jakarta) dan semi urban (Depok). Data penelitian diambil dari data primer penelitian yang telah dikumpulkan secara daring dan purposif melalui kader Posyandu yang memiliki akses terhadap keluarga/masyarakat pada bulan Oktober-Desember 2020. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi square dan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa tingkat ketahanan pangan rumah tangga (AOR = 12,182; 95%CI = 7,636 – 19,434) dan pendidikan pasangan (AOR = 2,184; 95%CI = 1,091 – 4,375) berhubungan signifikan dengan penerapan FCS rumah tangga. Rumah tangga rawan pangan memiliki risiko 12 kali lebih tinggi dalam menerapkan FCS dibandingkan rumah tangga yang aman pangan. Pasangan dengan pendidikan rendah memiliki risiko 2 kali lebih tinggi dalam menerapkan FCS. Kerawanan pangan rumah tangga selama pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan rumah tangga menerapkan beberapa jenis FCS. Perhatian khusus diperlukan bagi rumah tangga rawan pangan agar tidak menerapkan strategi penanggulangan yang ekstrim, seperti tidak makan sama sekali.
