Abstract

Background: People with HIV who use injecting drugs besides taking ARVs also use methadone. With these conditions, of course there will be a risk of causing various side effects. Based on this, researchers are interested in exploring the physical side effects experienced by PLWHA IDUs while using ARV therapy and Methadone. Method: This qualitative research uses a phenomenological study approach. Participants were taken based on criteria referring to the purposive sampling technique (snowball sampling). Participants were PLWHA with a history of injecting drug users (IDU) aged 20 years and over and had undergone ARV therapy and Methadone maintenance therapy for at least 6 months. Researchers conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews and used Colaizzi's data analysis stages. Results: HIV AIDS sufferers who inject drug users experience physical side effects on the digestive system, namely tooth decay, constipation, anorexia. Side effects on the musculoskeletal system include muscle pain and weakness and insomnia. Side effects of the covering system are the appearance of itching and rashes. Side effect on the reproductive system is a decrease in sexual function. Recommendation: The results of this study need to be followed up with studies with a larger number of participants so that they can represent other problems experienced by PLWHA while using ARV therapy and methadone together.

Abstract

Background: The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension and diabetes mellitus, poses a significant public health challenge in Bengkulu City, especially in Lempuing and Nusa Indah subdistricts. Community empowerment is a strategic approach to strengthen promotive and preventive health efforts. The utilization of Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) was introduced as an innovative, culturally appropriate, and practical method aligned with Gerakan Masyarakat Hidup Sehat (GERMAS).Aims: This program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of community health volunteers in preventing and managing NCDs, establish TOGA demonstration gardens managed by volunteers, and develop a replicable community empowerment model.Methods: A participatory approach was applied through cross-sectoral coordination with primary health centers and local government. Educational modules and media were developed, followed by training sessions for community health volunteers using lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. Continuous mentoring supported the management of TOGA gardens. Program evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test to assess changes in volunteers’ knowledge and observations to monitor implementation.Results: The program was successfully implemented. Educational modules were developed, and training activities led to an average increase of 30% in volunteers’ knowledge scores. Two TOGA demonstration gardens were established and actively managed by volunteers. Educational media were utilized during Pos Pelayanan Terpadu (posyandu) services by community health centers and Pemberdayaan Kesehatan Keluarga (PKK) activities at Lempuing and Nusa Indah subdistricts.Conclusion: The program effectively improved the capacity of community health volunteers and promoted community participation in family-based NCD prevention and management. The TOGA-based empowerment model demonstrates strong potential for replication as a promotive and preventive strategy for NCD control.
