Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 is still ongoing after nearly two years. The hope that the pandemic will be over soon is beginning to emerge. The successful development of a COVID-19 vaccine is one of the efforts to combat the pandemic. Vaccination programs that are available to the general public do not always run smoothly. The vaccination program was overshadowed by a number of issues and polemics. The purpose of this research is to see how the community reacts to the COVID-19 vaccination program. Data was collected using ethnographic research methods in Kalipare Village, Malang Regency, between October and November 2021. Random informants and interviews were conducted on members of the community and health professionals. The analysis was carried out by categorizing the data related to the community's fear, willingness, or doubt in participating in this program. According to the findings of this research, public rejection, fear, and doubt occur as a result of: a lack of public confidence in the vaccine's effects; a lack of trust in institutions; and the assumption that vaccines can cause illness and death. Typically, research on vaccine scepticism is followed by a refusal to participate in the program, but the findings of this research show the opposite. People continue to participate in the vaccination program despite their lack of faith, doubt, and fear.

Abstract

Stunting in under-five children is mostly due to unbalanced nutritional intake. Stunting is a health problem that requires further treatment. Taking care of the diet is a shortcut to the improvement of child nutrition and growth. This study aimed to examine the dietary habits formed by parents of under-five children with stunted growth. The study was conducted in Labotan Kandi Village, South Bulagi District, Banggai Islands Regency, Central Sulawesi. The data were collected through a series of observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research was carried out from July to August 2022 by conducting interviews with 18 mothers of children under five years that fall into the stunting category (based on weighing data of February 2022). The results show that the formation of dietary habit in under-five children with stunted growth is done in simple and careless manners. Children mainly consume tubers in their daily diet, including bete, kela, ndeke, kasibi, and ubi Banggai. Access to fruits and vegetables (such as chayote, papaya, and ferns leaves) and animal protein (such as fish, chicken, beef, and pork) is still very limited, and they cannot be accessed every day. As long as the child is quiet, does not cry, and eats till full, parents no longer think about the nutritional needs that must be met by their children who fall into the stunting category.

Abstract

In the elderly age category, a person can no longer be called productive and generally has entered retirement age. Changes during retirement usually happen in a relatively short time, so without the right strategy to deal with these changes, they can cause health problems, especially mental health problems. This paper will discuss the changes that occur in retirees and how these retirees deal with the changes that occur. This paper uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explain the experiences of each individual in facing retirement. This research was conducted in August and October-November 2022 in the city of Yogyakarta area using a purposive sampling method and got five retirees as informants. Apart from interviews with retirees, some of the retiree’s families were also interviewed to obtain a complete data. The most prominent changes in the lives of the elderly are in the economic and social fields. Economic changes occur due to reduced income and health problems. Changes in social aspects reduced activity, reduced social contact, and loss of facilities. Retirees face these changes by preparing savings, opening businesses, pursuing hobbies, and participating in community activities.

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is entering the aging population phase. Along with increasing welfare, the life expectancy of the population is getting higher but the quality of a healthy life is low due to the cycle of recurring diseases in old age. One of the cycles of disease that requires long-term care is the elderly with dementia. In rural Java, senility as a disease is not widely known. The term senility is equivalent to dementia. The elderly that suffered from dementia are treated instinctively according to local customs. The way of caring is simple, only based on instinct when seeing symptoms without clinical medical indications. This paper discusses ethnocaring, a community knowledge perspective in the care of the elderly with dementia which describes natural care habits based on experience. The research was conducted in March-May 2023 in Bantul using a purposive sampling method and obtaining 5 caregivers in the selected villages consisting of family and community members. The results showed that senility was treated based on the status of the relationship between caregivers and elderly with dementia and the role of the philosophy of "mikul dhuwur mendhem jero'' which animates behavior and determines its role in quality and type of care.
