Abstract

HIV transmission patterns had changed from high-risk groups to the group of housewives. Housewives will get pregnant and give birth. The possibility of a child contracting HIV from his mother can be prevented by utilizing the PMTCT program optimally. The objective of this research is to analyze the internal and external factors of PMTCT program utilization for pregnant women. This research used a critical review of previous studies (2009-2017). Social structures (education, occupation, and economic status) were not significantly related to the behavior of PMTCT program utilization. However, the availability of information and consultation with health officers (external factors) related to knowledge and perception of pregnant women about HIV and PMTCT program (internal factors). Good knowledge and perception would connect with the behavior of PMTCT program utilization. Negative stigma (external factor) from the family, community, and health officer made pregnant women reluctant to utilize the PMTCT program optimally. In conclusion, the need for increasing the quality of health services to become client-oriented as of widening the scope and optimization of the PMTCT program.

Abstract

Implementing safety behavior in the oil and gas industries is still challenging, although fatal accidents often occur. This research aims to analyze how Safety Health Environment Quality (SHEQ) talks, a Badak LNG program, can successfully prevent workers’ work accidents. Using qualitative methods with a case study approach, the researchers interviewed several key persons in the SHEQ talk program, including the board of management, the SHEQ department’s employees, and Badak LNG’s employers. Inclusiveness is the main component in the SHEQ talks program. It leads to safety behavior among all Badak LNG’s workers (interdependent stage). Unlike the usual behavior-based safety program, SHEQ talks encourage all employees to have good knowledge and skill of health and safety environments. Therefore, safety performance among the workers does not entirely depend on the Occupational safety and health (OSH) officers. Eliminating the superior and subordinate when conducting the safety talks are essential to build the safety culture among workers in the oil and gas industries.

Abstract

Ageing population resulting from the upward trend in life expectancy presents multifaceted issues across all domains, including health, financial, and social aspects. It requires additional public policy intervention to address the challenges and maintain the population well-being during the demographic phenomenon. Using a narrative review, this study delves into the implications of an ageing population in high-income countries like Finland, Germany, and Italy, as well as in Indonesia which is just beginning to experience this transition, and analyse public policies related to ageing population in those countries. The findings highlight several issues related to the ageing population, including health deterioration, housing demand accommodating age-related disabilities, and financial aspects of health insurance and retirement system funding. To address these challenges, high-income countries with ageing populations have implemented various policies. For instance, Finland has established guidelines and funding for elderly healthcare in municipalities, ensuring appropriate medical attention. In addition, pension systems and financial literacy initiatives have been introduced in some countries to support the ageing populace financially. Moreover, home-based geriatric care services in Finland and Germany enable elderly to age comfortably in their own homes. These policy implementations offer valuable insights for countries like Indonesia to better prepare themselves for the social, health, and economic implications associated with an ageing demographic. This comparative analysis serves as a crucial foundation for formulating effective policies tailored to the unique needs of ageing societies worldwide.
