One of the ways to prevent HIV transmission is by using early antiretroviral therapy (ART) or known as Test and Treat. Test and Treat is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013. This study aimed to explore the perception of men who have sex with men (MSM) about HIV Test and Treat Strategy. Methods: This quantitative observational study used a cross-sectional design. Primary data were collected from questionnaires filled in by 58 MSM diagnosed as HIV positive at Mawar Clinic, Pasundan and Ibrahim Adjie public health centers in September–December 2016. Sampling was performed using total sampling method which was bounded by time period. The questionnaire contained data of respondents’ characteristics and perceptions of HIV Test and Treat Strategy. Data analysis was presented in tables. Result: Respondents  were mostly 20–24 years old (48%), 55% were Senior High School graduates, 98% were unmarried, 58% worked as employees, and 21% earned 2–2.5 million rupiahs per month. Forty eight percent of the respondents had negative perception of the test and treat strategy, and 52% of the respondents had positive perception of the strategy.Conclusions: Most of the MSM population have a negative perception of HIV test and treat strategy. It is important for the key populations especially the MSM to obtain education related to HIV treatments and strategy.

Abstract

Background: Perceptions of patient satisfaction influence the quality of the public health center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat, Puskesmas) services. This study aimed to determine the differences in the level of patient satisfaction with national health insurance and the accreditation status of Puskesmas.Methods: This quantitative analytical study using a cross-sectional method was conducted at four Puskesmas in Majalengka Regency from October to November 2021 using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was the community satisfaction instrument (IKM-29) questionnaire , with the variable measured being the level of satisfaction. Data was transformed into numerical form using Rasch modelling and analyzed using the Chi-Square, independent-t, and one-way ANOVA tests.Results: A total of 273 respondents consisted of insured (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN) and non-insured (non-JKN) respondents, resulting in the satisfaction mean value between JKN and non-JKN patients of 2.50 and 2.51 (p-value= 0.926). Satisfaction at Puskesmas levels 1 (Dasar), 2 (Madya), 3 (Utama), and 4 (Paripurna) was 2.15, 2.23, 2.56, 3.03, respectively (p-value = 0.002), indicating an increase in the level of satisfaction at the Puskesmas accreditation level.Conclusion: There is no difference in satisfaction between respondents using JKN and non-JKN. However, there is an increase in satisfaction related to the Puskesmas accreditation level. It is recommended for each Puskesmas to maintain the same service to all patients and improve the quality of service, especially in service dimensions that are considered inferior. Additionally, it is necessary to review the minimum standard value for accreditation programs.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk is the first, main, and best natural food for babies. Breast milk contains various nutrients needed in the process of growth and development of babies. Breastfeeding is a health behavior carried out by mothers. This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the provision of breast milk substitutes.Methods: This was a quantitative study, using a cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out from July to August 2022 on 71 mothers who had babies aged up to 6 months at the Bandar Baru Public Health Center, Pidie Jaya, Aceh, Indonesia. Consecutive sampling technique was used. The variables studied included behavior intentions, social support, accessibility of information, personal autonomy, and situational action. Chi-square was used to assess the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variables.Results: Most mothers were aged 20–35 years (70.4%), had junior high school education (78.9%), were unemployed (76.1%), and most did not provide breast milk substitutes (70.4%). Mothers who provided breast milk substitutes was significantly associated with the mother’s intention to give breast milk (p=0.002) and environmental conditions/situations for action (p=0.001). Mothers with low intentions tended to substitute breastmilk (53.8%). Furthermore, the situation of action influenced mothers to provide breast milk substitutes (48.6%).Conclusion: Factors that influence mothers to provide breast milk substitutes are low intention and environmental conditions/situations to act. Therefore, education for mothers to give exclusive breast milk is encouraged.
