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

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

Background: A high-risk pregnancy jeopardizes both maternal and fetal lives. Despite recommendations for hospital births, six out of ten high-risk expectant mothers in Kawedanan opt for PMB or Community Health Center Maternity. To identify high-risk pregnancies, Kawedanan Community Health Center employs the innovative Bankjo lamp. This study investigates how pregnant women's attitudes and knowledge about Bankjo lamps influence their maternity location choice. Methods: This type of research uses quantitative descriptive research. This observational analytical research involved 57 expectant mothers due to maternity in January, February, or March. Using a cross-sectional design, the study treated knowledge and attitudes about Bankjo lamps as independent variables, with maternity location preference as the dependent variable. Data collection methods included knowledge and attitude questionnaires and monthly midwife reports. The data was analyzed using the Chi-Square test and descriptive statistics in the form of frequency distribution with presentation. Results: Findings indicate that pregnant women generally possess adequate knowledge about suitable maternity locations, with some showing insufficient understanding. A significant correlation (p = 0.013) exists between knowledge levels and preferred birthplace. Despite the preference for hospital births among nearly all expectant mothers, a majority hold negative attitudes, strongly correlated (p = 0.000) with their birthplace choices. Interestingly, while most pregnant women understand the Bankjo lamp innovation well, they harbor negative attitudes toward it. Nevertheless, almost all opt for hospital births, prioritizing medical safety despite reservations about new technologies. Conclusions: The study underscores the need for government support in advancing maternal health initiatives, including innovative technologies like Bankjo lamps. Enhancing awareness and promoting positive attitudes among expectant mothers can foster safer childbirth practices. By disseminating knowledge and addressing misconceptions, healthcare providers can better support high-risk pregnancies, ensuring better outcomes for both mothers and babies.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health concern in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Household-level knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) play a critical role in sustainable vector control. This study aimed to compare KAP regarding dengue prevention among household heads in high- and low-incidence areas in Magetan Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 785 household heads selected using stratified random sampling. A total of 390 respondents were recruited from high-incidence areas (≥11 cases/year) and 395 from low-incidence areas (≤10 cases/year). Data were collected using a validated and reliable structured questionnaire measuring knowledge (45 items), attitudes (18 items), and practices (25 items). Spearman rank correlation was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors and KAP scores, and the Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare differences between groups. Results: Knowledge and attitude scores did not differ significantly between high- and low-incidence areas (p > 0.05). However, prevention practice scores were significantly higher in high-incidence areas (Mean = 15.51; SD = 4.37) compared to low-incidence areas (Mean = 12.94; SD = 5.91; p < 0.001). Age was positively associated with attitudes and practices in both areas, while education level was significantly correlated with knowledge. Employment status was associated with prevention practices, whereas gender showed no significant association with KAP. Conclusions: Dengue prevention practices were stronger in high-incidence areas, suggesting that direct exposure to disease risk influences behavioral responses more than knowledge alone. Strengthening community empowerment and behavior-focused interventions is essential, particularly in low-incidence areas, to enhance preparedness and prevent future outbreaks.

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.
