Abstract

The development of the health sector, as part of national development, is directed toward improving the quality of human resources. One of the indicators of successful health development is the reduction of infant mortality rates and the improvement of community nutritional status. Optimal nutritional status can only be achieved when good nutritional practices are implemented at every stage of life, including during infancy . Failures in breastfeeding often stem from a lack of information. The study by Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati (2017) indicates that breastfeeding discussion classes can improve breastfeeding practices among breastfeeding mothers (Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati, 2017). Parents’ Education has also been shown to be effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of primigravida couples regarding exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to enhance knowledge and attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding must be continuously strengthened and followed by an evaluation of exclusive breastfeeding practices (Usnawati, 2017). Based on these findings, it is necessary to establish a Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) and implement breastfeeding assistance programs. The establishment of KP-ASI and the breastfeeding assistance program will be carried out through the following strategies: Phase 1: Issuance of an official request letter from Sumberdodol Village for the formation of a breastfeeding support group. Educational materials will be provided to third-trimester pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Phase 2: Delivery of educational materials to Posyandu cadres, third-trimester pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. The training session will be conducted once. The education session in the village is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Phase 3: Developing a meeting plan and activity schedule for the members and committee of the Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) for the following month.

Abstract

Background: Menopause signifies the end of menstruation and ovarian follicle activity in women. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea without other causes. Typically occurring between 40 and 50 years, menopause often induces anxiety, especially among women with limited knowledge. To address this, the government promotes health counseling to improve women's understanding and management of menopause. Methods: This study utilized a pre-experimental design involving 63 respondents fromGebyog Village, Magetan, Indonesia, selected by simple random sampling. The study examined two variables: the independent variable (counseling) and the dependent variable (anxiety level). Data was collected using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS) questionnaire, administered both before and after counseling sessions. Descriptive analysis was conducted using frequency distribution, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for inferential analysis. Results: The counseling intervention led to a significant reduction in anxiety levels among the participants. The Mann-Whitney U test results indicated a P value of 0.000, demonstrating a statistically significant effect of counseling on reducing anxiety levels (P = 0.000 < α = 0.05). Conclusion: Counseling effectively reduces anxiety in women facing menopause. It is recommended that health workers enhance their efforts in providing menopause-related counseling, particularly through village health posts like posbindu and poslansia, to support women during this transition.

Abstract

The effectiveness of disaster preparedness cannot be measured solely from the existence of an early warning system (EWS). Warnings without prompt and coordinated action risk losing their significance in saving lives. In practice, many regions face challenges when warning signals are received, but response and resource mobilization are slow. This demonstrates that preparedness does not stop at detection systems, but rather relies on institutional, social, and technical capacity to act promptly. This opinion piece examines the limitations of EWS implementation in Indonesia from three dimensions: technical (limited reach and data interoperability), social (low risk literacy and community engagement), and institutional (unintegrated command, logistics, and anticipatory financing). This condition is exacerbated by weak coordination at the local level, including in the activation of volunteers and social networks, so that vulnerable groups are often not reached by warnings or early assistance. Based on lessons learned from case studies in Indonesia and international literature on anticipatory action, this paper emphasizes the need to review preparedness indicators by including aspects of resource mobilization as a main component. Policy recommendations include strengthening the capacity of Disaster Resilient Villages in the dissemination of warnings (last-mile warning), the application of the mechanism trigger and anticipatory financing, as well as the integration of preparedness with health services, education, logistics, search and rescue, and refugee readiness. This new approach positions preparedness not simply as the ability to receive warnings, but as an integrated system capable of translating warnings into concrete, life-saving actions.

Abstract

Village resilience is an important foundation in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts. This policy brief is prepared based on recommendations from the results of village resilience assessment research. The research as the basis for the policy brief was conducted in 30 Disaster Resilient Villages in Magetan Regency using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which emphasizes active community involvement in the assessment process. The assessment was carried out by filling out a questionnaire from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) containing 128 questions and covering five main aspects: basic services, regulations and policies, prevention and mitigation, emergency preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. The questionnaire was filled out through interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results showed that only around 20% of villages achieved the Main Disaster Resilient Village category. This shows the need for an increase in overall efforts made by the disaster resilient village forum together with the village government. Two main recommendations are proposed. First, strengthening the capacity of the Disaster Resilient Village Forum as the driving force for disaster risk management activities at the village level. This forum needs to be supported through training, facilitation, and strengthening its role in program planning and implementation. Second, the allocation of village funds needs to be increased by around 5–8% to fund activities such as disaster-resistant infrastructure development, disaster mitigation, capacity training, emergency response simulations, procurement of facilities and infrastructure, emergency response funds, and post-disaster recovery. The success of both recommendations is highly dependent on collaboration between local and village governments. Local governments need to support with clear regulations, technical assistance, and adequate budgets. Meanwhile, village governments need to include disaster risk reduction in development plans. This synergy will accelerate the realization of disaster-resilient villages.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the Disaster Resilient Village (Destana) forum's preparedness for disaster-related health crises. The key challenges identified are low community response to early warning systems and slow mobilization of health resources, both contributing to high victim numbers and exacerbating health crises. The study focuses on creating an accessible early warning system and accelerating health resource mobilization, prioritizing these elements based on an analysis of disaster preparedness parameters. Using Action Research with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design, the research was conducted in Magetan Regency, East Java, involving 150 Destana forum administrators. The study explores the development of early warning procedures, health contingency plans, emergency response structures, and simulation plans. The findings reveal that the Destana forum successfully developed tailored health contingency plans for each village, including an inclusive early warning system Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for vulnerable groups. Additionally, an integrated health command structure was formed, enhancing emergency response coordination. Emergency response simulations with 90 participants demonstrated improved readiness and community engagement in handling health crises. The study highlights the importance of a participatory, sustainable approach to building resilience, showing that active community involvement fosters collective responsibility for managing health crises during disasters.

Abstract

Disaster risk reduction forums as a capacity in disaster resilient villages often experience difficulties in realizing disaster preparedness. It is necessary to prioritize any element that is immediately realized, so that what is done truly makes society have resilience and toughness. five disaster preparedness parameters that must be prepared by the forum. These five parameters have 25 elements as constructs. Elements as a construct of disaster preparedness parameters become an instrument called Difficulty and Usefulness of Elements in Disaster Preparedness (DUEDP-Questionnaire). This DUEDP questionnaire serves as a guide enumerator for interviewing forum administrators and communities in 23 disaster-resilient villages in the Magetan district. Data was collected for three months starting May-July 2023. The element prioritization technique uses the Quadrant of Difficulty and Usefulness (QoDU) method. This method focuses on elements in the upper left quadrant, namely elements that are very useful but how to make it happen is very difficult. The research results place the elements of involving vulnerable groups in socializing about disasters, providing village funds for disaster management, preparing contingency plan documents, providing early warning system tools, and training families to provide disaster preparedness bags as the main priorities that must be immediately realized by the forum.

Abstract

In health research, many categorical variables are found that must be analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, then interpreted. Currently, there are still many health researchers who interpret categorical variable data in the health sector in the same way as social research in general, namely focusing on the categories with the largest proportions. In fact, for health research, researchers should focus on the expression of unexpected categories. Therefore, this should be a concern for the health research community, especially in the campus environment as the first place for students and health researchers to study and apply various types of health research. This is an urgency, so that the quality of health research can be immediately improved, especially in terms of data interpretation. It was concluded that there were many errors in interpreting categorical variable data in the health sector, so this had to be anticipated from the time of education on campus. Keywords: health research; categorical variables; data interpretation; unexpected category
