Abstract

HIV and or TB-related stigma frequently discourages people from seeking healthcare, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and poor health outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze cadres' knowledge and attitudes regarding diseases to eliminate stigma in their community. Thirty health cadres in a primary healthcare setting in Surabaya were recruited as participants after getting informed consent. Participants were trained in the transmission, prevention, and treatment of diseases, followed by a role-play and a Focus Group Discussion. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess cadres' knowledge and attitudes. After the intervention, understanding of HIV and TB among cadres increased significantly (p < 0.001), from pre-test scores of 82.7 ± 17.9 (HIV) and 81.1 ± 6.6 (TB) to 95.7 ± 4.9 (post-HIV test) and 89.3 ± 10.5 (post-TB test). After interventions, cadres understand that HIV transmission can occur from mother to fetus, during childbirth, and through breast milk; and that HIV is not transmitted through air, water, eating utensils, toilet seats, sweat, tears, shaking hands, and hugging. They also understand that most TB patients are no longer contagious after 2 months of treatment and can be cured after 6 months. In the focus group discussion, cadres shared about cases of stigma and discrimination that they had encountered. Finally, together with primary healthcare, they plan to disseminate these results within their community through various activities (sub-district, district, and school) to stop stigma and discrimination.

Abstract

Highlights: Low prevalence of giardiasis among kindergarten students. Good level of knowledge and personal hygiene practices of kindergarten children.   Abstract Introduction: Giardiasis is a gastrointestinal disease caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia and affects many individuals in developing countries. Kindergarten children are at risk of Giardia infection due to limited knowledge and inadequate personal hygiene. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of G. lamblia infection among kindergarten children on Mandangin Island, Sampang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed between January and March 2023. Stool samples and questionnaires were collected from 37 participants to obtain data on their demographics, socioeconomic status, and behavioral risk factors. Giardia infection was diagnosed through direct stool examination and rapid antigen testing. The data were analyzed statistically using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0, with p<0.05 considered statistically non-significant. Results: A total of 37 subjects were enrolled in this study. The prevalence of giardiasis was 5.4% (n=2) among the study population. There was no significant correlation between giardiasis infection and the risk factors examined (p>0.05). Conclusion: The low prevalence of giardiasis in this study may be attributable to the relatively high levels of knowledge and personal hygiene among the kindergarten children. In addition, the majority of residents of Mandangin Island, Sampang, Indonesia, used boiled rainwater for drinking. Access to safe drinking water, along with good personal hygiene practices, especially handwashing, can reduce the risk of giardiasis.
