Background: The government has designated the antigen rapid diagnostic test as one of the methods for COVID-19 screening, contact tracing, and diagnosis under certain conditions. While the antigen swab test is used for initial screening, some parents (8 individuals) have reported feeling anxious. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parents' knowledge and attitudes and their anxiety about the COVID-19 antigen swab examination for children. Methods: This research is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 98 parents of pediatric patients at the Emergency Installation of RSU Aminah Blitar, with 46 respondents selected through Accidental Sampling. The variables in the research were the level of knowledge and attitudes measured using a questionnaire developed by researchers, while the level of anxiety was calculated using the STAI questionnaire. Analysts use the Spearman rank test. Results: The results showed that 45.7% had good knowledge, 50% had a good attitude, and 56.5% had good anxiety levels. Statistical analysis using the Spearman rank test revealed a significant correlation between the levels of knowledge, attitude, and anxiety (ρ = 0.000), with correlation coefficients of r = 0.537 and r = -0.789, respectively. Conclusion: Knowledge plays a crucial role in determining behaviour, as it forms beliefs that influence perception, decision-making, and behaviour. People with less knowledge about COVID-19 may experience increased anxiety. This research is expected to support nurses' role as educators by providing counselling about antigen swab tests to improve patients' and families' knowledge and attitudes, which may reduce anxiety levels.
