Abstract

Background: Diarrhea and pneumonia accounts for an estimated 40% of all child deaths around the world each year. Handwashing with soap could protect about 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhea and almost 1 out of 6 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia. Although people around the world clean their hands with water, very few use soap to wash their hands. Washing hands with soap removes germs much more effectively. This study was undertaken to determine the level of knowledge and practice regarding proper handwashing among elementary school children.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted from August to October 2014 in Jatinangor using primary data from respondents who are 5th graders from four schools. A total of 49 males and 50 females were chosen using cluster random sampling. Schoolchildren who were present, able and well were given questionnaires after written informed consent was obtained from the schoolchildren and their guardians. Then, respondents demonstrated hand-washing techniques which were evaluated using a checklist.Results: Overall, 52% of the schoolchildren had moderate level of hand washing knowledge and 66% had bad handwashing practices.Conclusions: Despite having a moderate level of handwashing knowledge, the majority still had poor handwashing practices. Handwashing programs should be carried out extensively to improve knowledge and practice.[AMJ.2016;3(2):170–4]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n2.795

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition in children less than 5 years old persists around the world. In West Java and one of the districts of West Java (Sumedang), the prevalence of malnutrition is about 18.5% and 15.8% respectively.  Numerous factors can lead to child malnutrition. Difficulties in availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of food can be contributing factors. A good perception of mother on adequate nutrition can improve children’s nutritional status. This study was conducted to study the perception of mothers with children 2 to 5 years old on adequate nutrition. Methods: Most of the respondents had good perception on the aspect of adequate nutrition.  Results showed perception on availability was 83.8%, physical accessibility was 97.1%, economical accessibility was 98.6%, information accessibility was 84.8% and acceptability was 81.0%. However, perception of respondents on good quality nutrition for the main meal and additional food was still poor. Moreover, there are taboos for eating shrimp and watermelon. Additionally, children were given snacks in large amount.Results: There was a strong correlation between mid-upper arm muscle area/size and muscular strength (correlation cooefficient 0.746). Moreover, the higher the Body Mass Index, the stronger the muscle strength was to some point. If the BMI was more than 25 kg/m2, this findings did not occurred. Conclusions: This study reveals that the perception of mothers on good quality food is poor regardless the good results on availibility, accesibility and acceptability.

Abstract

Pendanaan kesehatan dari Gross Domestic Product tahun 2003 di Indonesia kecil yaitu 3,1%, 64,1% berasal dari masyarakat (74,3% bermekanisme out of pockets payment) dan 35,9% berasal dari pemerintah. Hanya 23,33% penduduk Kota Bandung yang melakukan pendanaan kesehatannya melalui pihak ketiga,sehingga potensi penggalian dana untuk kesehatan masih cukup tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini mengidentifikasi karakteristik penduduk yang dapat mendukung pendanaan kesehatan melalui asuransi kesehatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survey cross-sectional, analisis deskriptif dengan sampel 700 responden, yaitu masyarakat Kota dan belum menjadi peserta asuransi kesehatan. Hasil dan rekomendasi penelitian adalah wanita dapat dijadikan sasaran sosialisasi asuransi kesehatan,sasaran utama pengembangan asuransi kesehatan adalah usia produktif, penyampaian informasi tentang pendanaan kesehatan dilaksanakan dengan cara maupun bahasa yang disesuaikan dengan tingkat pendidikan SMA ke bawah, penghasilan responden sangat fluktuatif dan tidak menetap sehingga pelaksanaan pengambilan iuran asuransi kesehatan akan menjadi kendala, sebagian besar responden mempunyai tanggungan ≤ 4 orang, semakin banyak jumlah tanggungan sebuah keluarga semakin besar total premi yang harus dibayar, 51,9% responden memiliki rumah sendiri, sehingga dengan terpenuhinya kebutuhan dasar tersebut, maka diasumsikan bahwa seseorang dapat mengalihkan pengeluarannya untuk kebutuhan yang lain termasuk membayar iuran/premi asuransi kesehatan serta 54,6% responden tidak mempunyai kendaraan, sehingga perlu dipikirkan lokasi fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan yang dikontrak oleh badan asuransi serta perhitungan biaya transportasi.
