Abstract

A community-based forum, Forum Pengurangan Resiko Bencana (FPRB), or Forum of Disaster Risk Reduction was established to accommodate and collaborate with stakeholders to optimize disaster management according to local capacity. However, evaluation of disaster preparedness among FPRB members is rarely done. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the disaster preparedness and level of Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge among FPRB members in Bantul. A descriptive study was conducted with a cross-sectional design. Participants (n=77) were members of FPRB in Poncosari sub-district, Srandakan district, and Girirejo sub-district, Imogiri district, Bantul Regency. The survey was undertaken using the modified Disaster Preparedness Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI)-UNESCO 2006 questionnaire and modified BLS American Heart Association (AHA) 2015 questionnaire. Univariate analysis was utilized to analyze data. Overall, the majority (52%) of disaster preparedness levels among FPRB members was categorized as strong level (median = 29). Related to the disaster preparedness aspect, 89% had good disaster knowledge, followed by resource mobilization (75%), urgent plan (60%), and early warning (53%). The median score of BLS knowledge was 5.38 (min-max = 2-9). Most of the participants (56%) had a good level of BLS knowledge. This study highlights that the disaster knowledge aspect is indicated as a highly familiar aspect while the early warning aspect is identified as a low familiar one. This study assists policymakers to develop a strategic plan to promulgate further disaster and first aid training in the community setting.

Abstract

Pondok Pesantren or Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS), as one of the major boarding-based education systems in Indonesia, face significant challenges in preventing and controlling infectious disease transmission. Huge numbers of students, crowded dormitories, shared lavatories, limited healthcare facilities, and intense social interactions increase the risk of transmitting infectious diseases within the facilities. This study aimed to provide an initial assessment of the history of infectious diseases and the spread of infectious diseases among students living in IBS before conducting training and intervention related to infectious diseases prevention and control programs. This quantitative study was conducted using a descriptive analysis approach in July-August 2022 at Assalafiyyah Mlangi II Terpadu IBS. A non-probability sampling with total sampling of 841 students was used. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires developed on Google Form and imported to Microsoft Excel for further data analysis. The results indicate that the majority of the students have a history of infectious diseases (90.48%) during their time living in IBS. The most common infectious diseases found were influenza (55.38%), scabies (20.20%), conjunctivitis (8.13%), varicella (4.54%), herpes simplex (2.08%), tuberculosis (0.65%), and measles (0.13%). During the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 21.16% of the students had been exposed to COVID-19. Considering these findings, it is essential for the staff and students living in IBS to understand the steps to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and be able to identify and provide initial treatment to stop the transmission of the disease. The development of digital health intervention using a website or application can be implemented to help the students report and consult case findings to medical experts.

Abstract

Introduction: Perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS) or also called clean and healthy living behavior (CHLB) in English practices in a congregate setting such as Islamic boarding schools (IBS) or pondok pesantren plays a vital role in maintaining the health of each individual living in the area. This study aimed to provide an overview of students (santri)’ CHLB practices at the Assalafiyyah Mlangi II Terpadu IBS. Methods: This quantitative non-experimental study was conducted using a survey method in July-September 2022. A non-probability sampling with a total sampling of 841 students was used. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires developed on Google Forms and imported to Microsoft Excel for further data analysis. Additional observations of the environment and student activities were also used. Several indicators were assessed, including personal health maintenance, CHLB implementation, and environmental cleanliness. Results: The results showed that the students consume fruit less than 2 times per day (more than 80%), vegetables less than 3 times per day (male student 42.33% and female student 50.7%), drinking 6-9 glasses of water (18%), none of the female students (0.00%) have routine exercise schedule with the duration 90-120 minutes per week, and only female students (56.90%) have regular sleep patterns of 6-8 hours per day. The CHLB practices implementation and environmental cleanliness used the indicators of good handwashing practices, regular bathroom and dormitories cleaning, and the overall cleanliness of the Islamic boarding school achieved good performance, which scored more than 40%. Meanwhile, 44.04-67.85% of the students reported average scores for the available cleaning and healthcare facilities. Conclusion: In general, according to students’ perceptions, implementing CHLB at the Assalafiyyah Mlangi II Terpadu IBS is good enough, but the medical equipment is insufficient. Additionally, the condition of the school health unit or UKS is inadequate, so it is necessary to improve infrastructure and medicines. Furthermore, healthy santri cadres are needed as role models for other students in implementing CHLB and improving health status through promotive and preventive efforts.

Abstract

Introduction: Nutritional status during pregnancy is one of the critical factors in determining maternal and fetal development, affecting birth weight, perinatal mortality, and infant growth. Regular monitoring of pregnant women’s health is crucial as preventive measures and promotive approaches for both mother and fetus. Primagravida, a web-based system, was developed to assist pregnant women in rural areas in monitoring their health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate usability and user satisfaction in using Primagravida. Method: Quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study was conducted in the Kalibawang Primary Health Center (PHC) service area between June - October 2021. Seventy-nine pregnant women participated in this study. Pregnant women were registered and observed for their pregnancy profile through a web-based service integrated with PHC maternal and child health care. In evaluating the system usability, the current study utilized System Usability Scale (SUS), while a modified users’ satisfaction questionnaire was employed to capture participants’ perceptions. Results: Results indicated that most participants were satisfied with the benefits, information relevance, content adequacy and clarity, platform availability, and up-to-the-minute curated knowledge provided by the system. Utilization of this system reduced the number of visits to PHC since health monitoring could be performed virtually. Regarding system usability, respondents reported a score of 70, and the average score of respondents was 66. Conclusion: Pregnant women have adopted the Primagravida application to monitor their health and fetal status in Kalibawang District, Kulon Progo. Feature development is required to accommodate the upcoming demands of holistic maternal and perinatal care.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been demonstrated to disrupt the body's immune response, adversely affecting the reproductive system. Consequently, this study has focused on the changes in the menstruation patterns of survivors of the disease in women of reproductive age with asymptomatic, mild, and severe cases. This study employed an observational cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 207 women who had recovered from COVID-19 within the past six months and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sampling technique utilized consecutive sampling, and menstrual characteristics were assessed using a questionnaire. Several respondents in the severe group experienced changes in their menstrual patterns. Their duration of menstruation was shortened by 11.11%, and 13.58% had a more extended menstrual period. Some respondents’ cycles were elongated by 20.98%, some decreased their initial menstrual volume by 32.09%, and some increased by 27.16%. Meanwhile, their menstrual volume decreased by 17.28% at the end of menstruation, and their duration lengthened by 24.69%. 12.1% of respondents also reported changes in menstrual regularity. Additionally, 19.75% of respondents stated that their menstrual pain decreased, and 13.58% had increased menstrual pain. The multivariate analysis revealed that the severity of the COVID-19 infection was the primary factor influencing menstrual patterns.
