Abstract

Diarrhea remains a serious burden for children in developing countries, and remains a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. The health belief model (HBM) is frequently used in explain- ing health behaviours. This study used HBM and translated it into community understanding to gain local perspective of mothers of children with diarrhea. A qualitative approach using focus group dis- cussions was conducted. A community model was then developed using local data. Data showed that mothers believe in two kinds of diarrhea: diarrhea as a disease and diarrhea as a part of the deve- lopmental process. The contextual community model explain the HBM in a different frame of theo- retical explanation model, which was developed in different setting of culture, can not be simply applied in the community without undertaking field verification, as conducted in this study. Detailed results and discussion are presented and proposals for a culture-sensitve intervention approach were proposed. Diare merupakan permasalahan serius di negara berkembang dan bahkan merupakan penyebab utama mortalitas dan morbiditas balita. Health belief model (HBM) sering dipakai untuk menjelaskan perilaku kesehatan. Studi awal ini memakai Health Belief Model untuk mengetahui pemahaman masyarakat tentang permasalahan diare dan perilaku kebersihan. HBM dalam pemetaan teoretis diverifikasi di komunitas untuk menguji presisi model secara kualitatif. Diskusi kelompok terarah dipakai dalam eksplorasi kualitatif. Data menunjukan bahwa model diare di komunitas studi berbeda dengan model biomedis. Para Ibu memercayai adanya dua jenis diare, diare sebagai penyakit dan diare yang merupakan bagian dari tumbuh kembang anak. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa model komunitas kontekstual berbeda dengan model biomedis. Bahasan terinci disajikan dalam artikel ini. Program intervensi yang peka kultur setempat diajukan sesuai dengan hasil penelitian ini.

Abstract

Sojourners are those who live in another culture for a period of time, with the intention of returning to their native land. Sojourning students have to adapt to a different culture and experience stresses due to acculturation. Most of the acculturation studies were about Chinese, Korean, or Japanese in the USA or foreign students other than Indonesians. No information was available on the signifi- cant variables of acculturation for Indonesian sojourning in Germany. This study aimed to explore variables of acculturation of Indonesian students in Germany, using qualitative approach. Results showed the following variables to be significant: (1) seasons and weathers, (2) living place, (3) cur- rent social relationship, (4) togetherness with Indonesians in Germany, (5) language, (6) the roles of work or academic environment, and (7) freedom. Details are discussed in this article. Sojourner adalah mereka yang hidup di luar negeri yang natinya akan pulang lagi ke tanah air. Mahasiswa di luar negeri termasuk dalam kelompok sojourner. Mahasiswa yang juga sojourner di luar negeri tidak hanya harus menghadapi stress beban studi melainkan juga harus mampu meng- hadapi proses akulturasi yang dilaluinya. Sebagian besar studi yang terdahulu masih tentang maha- siswa China atau Korea di Amerika atau mahasiswa asing, non-Indonesia. Karenanya studi ini ber- tujuan untuk eksplorasi variabel yang penting dalam akulturasi mahasiswa Indonesia di Jerman, dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa variabel akulturasi yang penting ada- lah sebagai berikut: (1) musim dan cuaca, (2) tempat tinggal, (3) hubungan sosial saat “ini”, (4) ke- bersamaan dengan sesama orang Indonesia di Jerman, (5) penguasaan Bahasa Jerman, (6) peran dalam kerja atau akademik, dan (7) kebebasan. Detail didiskusikan dalam artikel ini.

Abstract

Being sojourners in Germany may cause Indonesian students stress due to acculturation. Acculturation in this study defined as culture change resulted from contact between two cultural groups. This study was to identify symptoms of general mental health status related to acculturation. The acculturation orientation and the general mental health status were measured using standardized psychometric instruments.Hypotheses were developed to see if there were any significant different on general mental health status of the students with regard to acculturation, length of stay and presence of families in Germany. A survey of 201 Indonesian students in Germany was conducted. Results were then compared to Indonesian students in Indonesia. It shows that more than a half of the sojourners kept their Asian values and behaviors. Significant different was observed on some aspects of psychological well- being, partly moderated by length of sojourning. “Hostility” was maximal in the first 2 months of sojourning and declining thereafter. Menjadi sojourner di Jerman bagi mahasiswa Indonesia barangkali dapat menyebabkan stress terkait dengan akulturasinya. Akulturasi didefinisikan sebagai interaksi dua kultur yang berbeda yang dialami pada waktu yang sama dan terus-menerus. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi symptom kesehatan mental terkait dengan akulturasinya. Orientasi akulturasi dan kondisi mental mahasiswa diukur dengan instrument psikometris yang standard. Hipotesa: apakah ada perbedaan kesehatan mental secara umum pada mahasiswa Indonesia di Jerman terkait dengan orientasi culturalnya, lama tinggal, serta keberadaan keluarga di Jerman. Survei terhadap 201 mahasiswa Indonesia di Jerman dilakukan secara “cross-sectional”. Hasilnya dibandingkan dengan mahasiswa Indonesia di Indonesia dengan kelompok yang sama. Hasil menunjukan bahwa lebih dari 50% mahasiswa Indonesia di Jerman tetap berorientasi pada nilai-nilai dan perilaku Asia terlepas dari lama tinggal di Jerman. Perbedaan signifikan ditemukan pada beberapa aspek kesehatan mental terkait dengan lama tinggal di Jerman. “Hostility” paling tinggi dialami oleh mahasiswa untuk 2 bulan pertama di Jerman.
