Abstract

Preschool-aged children are at risk of various health problems. This community empowerment initiative aims to conduct early detection of health issues in young children while simultaneously educating teachers on simple anthropometric measurements. The activities included mentoring in child anthropometric measurements, health examinations, and discussions of health examination results. The findings from the examination of 58 young children revealed that the most common health problems were dental caries and tonsillitis. Additionally, teachers demonstrated competence in conducting anthropometric measurements, but their capacity for data interpretation needs further improvement. Parental involvement, teacher capacity enhancement, and regular health check-ups are crucial factors in monitoring children's health.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue, particularly in high-risk settings such as penitentiaries. This community service aimed to enhance TB awareness and management among inmates at the Surabaya penitentiary, East Java, Indonesia. The educational method employed was an interactive talk show, allowing participants to actively engage through question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and relevant case studies. This approach sought to improve participants' understanding and involvement, making the information more comprehensible and applicable to daily life. The program also included TB screening for inmates. Results showed a significant increase in participants' TB awareness. The percentage of participants able to correctly identify TB symptoms significantly improved, demonstrated by their ability to recognize common signs like prolonged cough, fatigue, and night sweats. Understanding of TB transmission also drastically increased, with 70% of participants realizing that TB spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Furthermore, awareness regarding TB prevention measures such as maintaining hygiene, mask usage, seeking early medical care, and adherence to treatment rose to 70%. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the educational program in reducing TB transmission and improving health within correctional facilities. Therefore, continuous implementation of similar programs in various penitentiaries is crucial for tackling TB in vulnerable populations and preventing its spread to the wider community.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, often accompanied by comorbid hypertension, necessitates expensive and prolonged treatment. Therefore, conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis is crucial to identify the most economically viable option by comparing the costs and therapeutic efficacy of amlodipine and candesartan in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and comorbid hypertension in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This research aims to analyze therapy costs and effectiveness using pharmacoeconomic assessment, specifically calculating ACER (Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio) and ICER (Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio) values. The study uses a quantitative approach with retrospective data collection from patient medical records through total sampling. This research gathered data from 149 medical records. The cost-effectiveness analysis based on ACER values revealed the following: amlodipine 5 mg cost IDR 86; amlodipine 10 mg cost IDR 51; candesartan 8 mg cost IDR 571; candesartan 16 mg cost IDR 727. The ICER value of amlodipine 5 mg – candesartan 8 mg cost IDR 1,527; amlodipine 5 mg – candesartan 16 mg cost IDR 2,192; amlodipine 10 mg – candesartan 8 mg cost IDR –8454; amlodipin 10 mg – candesartan 16 mg cost IDR –5,979. The therapy is considered cost-effective when the ACER value is low, and the negative value of ICER indicates that the treatment has lower costs with greater effectiveness. So, using amlodipine 10 mg is the most cost-effective approach for reducing blood pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with comorbid hypertension in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

Non-communicable disease (NCD) necessitates prolonged continuous intervention that impacts enormous morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic repercussions on a global scale. Community and private primary healthcare facilities need to be more interconnected, although they have significant roles in NCDs' prevention and care. Aims: To enhance the community's competencies regarding NCDs through the involvement of private primary care. Method: The method used was a quasi-experiment (non-control, nonrandomisation) with the 'Aisyiyah Clinic involvement as the mentor for participants. The study involved 41 faith-affiliated cadres from 'Aisyiyah and Nasyiatul Aisyiyah, Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. Interventions include health education sessions on NCDs and essential health examinations for NCD screening practices. The study evaluation was conducted using a pre-test and post-test of knowledge and skill observation checklist, followed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank, Spearman, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: Education and practices increased participants' knowledge of NCDs (p=0.000) with a large effect size (r=0.50). The cadres also observed that they could perform their competencies in these examinations (100%). Additionally, there was no significant difference in knowledge (pre-test and post-test) based on cadres’ demographic background (p>0.05). In contrast, there was a significant difference in initial knowledge (pre-test), according to both duration of time as a cadre (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Health education and practices effectively increase health cadres' knowledge and skills related to NCD control. Simultaneously with continuous community empowerment, the study findings highlight a need for better integration between public health initiatives and private sector resources to sustainably improve the community health workers' role.

Abstract

Following the aftermath of COVID-19, needs of digitalized medical data system has increased worldwide. As stated by Indonesia’s Ministry of Health, electronic medical records (EMRs) usage are being mandated initially by December 2023. However, in some healthcare facilities, this transition are being halted by inadequate digital literacy. This research aimed to understand the impact of e-Health Literacy of healthcare personnel on technology acceptance and their intention to use EMRs.  The cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2024 following six months of EMR implementation in Dr. Soetarto Army Hospital, using a valid and reliable questionnaire consisting of 51 items originating from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and e-Health Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) that was modified into 46 items. The data was collected from 114 healthcare personnel who act as both caregiver and medical data documenter (total sampling). The result was then analyzed using Smart-PLS. There is an increased intention of EMR usage when e-health literacy moderated user's technology acceptance (p=0.006), while by itself, technology acceptance doesn't have a meaningful impact towards intention to use EMR (p=0.391). Increased e-Health Literacy has also proven to be correlated with increased intention of EMR use (p<0.001). Increasing user’s e-health literacy is essential to become a pivotal factor in increasing EMR adoption in healthcare personnel workflow. This study suggests integrating targeted e-health literacy programs into professional development to improve EMR usage and healthcare efficiency, with future studies exploring long-term.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia ranks second in the number of TB cases worldwide, accounting for 10% of the total TB cases. In addition, Indonesia ranks fifth in the number of DM cases worldwide. However, the integration of TB and DM disease management programs to ensure safe and quality care in health facilities is generally insufficient. Aims: This study aims to improve the knowledge of NCD program managers regarding TB-DM and their role in TB control and care. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design (non-randomized and non-control group) involving all healthcare workers (HCWs) managing NCD programs in Yogyakarta City. The participants were selected from 18 community health centers, 5 hospitals, the Health Office of Yogyakarta City. Prior to and following the training sessions, the knowledge of the participants was assessed. Results: According to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, no significant differences in TB-DM knowledge were observed among participants based on age group, length of employment, occupation, and highest level of education. However, following the training sessions, the participants showed a significant improvement in TB-DM knowledge according to the results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test p = 0.000, with an effect size (r) of 0.57 (95% CI [0.000, 0.113]). Conclusion: Training for NCD program managers has been shown to improve their knowledge about TB-DM and their potential roles. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct continuous capacity-building programs for HCWs. These programs should be supported by policies, systems, and necessary infrastructures to ensure effective implementation of integrated care for TB and other diseases.

Abstract

Adolescents are a group of society that is prone to various health risks. Padukuhan Puluhan Lor has an inactive youth posyandu (integrated health post). Inadequate resources inhibit youth posyandu activities. This community service aimed to increase adolescents' knowledge and skills in health checks and posyandu management to reactivate youth posyandu. One action research cycle includes diagnosis, planning, action, and assessment. The assessment used in-depth interviews with the hamlet, community health workers, and the youth organization manager. In the action stage, educational intervention, and cadre training were conducted using a quasi-experiment (without control, non-randomization) on adolescent cadres (n=17). Cadres were coached and trained using educational media, including pocketbooks and role play. The assessment revealed that the community needs to revitalize youth posyandu, although no youth health program exists. The planning stage was to prepare education, cadre training, and posyandu equipment and materials funds. The role-play increased knowledge and skills in conducting health checks and managing posyandu based on the average score. However, there was no significant difference in teenage knowledge scores (p=0.564) before and after the education session. Youth empowerment potential can supports the implementation of youth posyandu. Cross-sectoral roles are needed to keep posyandu sustainable.

Abstract

Background: The Indonesia Health Profile Report 2020 stated that pneumonia is one of the causes of high infant and toddler mortality in Indonesia. Length of stay and readmission are crucial indicators of service quality for hospitalized pneumonia patients. This study aims to determine the duration of hospitalization and identify risk factors for readmission among toddlers hospitalized with CAP.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with subjects of pneumonia toddlers hospitalized in Sarila Husada Hospital Sragen from November 2021 to Januari 2023Results: A total of 357 toddlers were hospitalized with CAP (median age = 17 months; IQR 7–24); the majority were under 36 months old (309 subjects; 86%); male (54%) predominated than female (46%). Median duration of hospitalization for CAP=2 days with IQR=3.0-5.0. Readmission events were only 5, higher among toddlers aged 2-36 months but not statistically significant. Factors associated with readmission in CAP toddlers were the history of previous hospitalizations during the past year due to infection (P=0.012; adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=13.6; confidence interval [CI]=1.49–12.34).Conclusion: The readmission rate was very low in our study. Toddlers 2–36 months of age and those with previous hospitalizations with infections are at higher risk of readmission in CAP.
