Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic which has lasted more than 3 years has positioned Covid-19 information on the media agenda. Apart from that, this pandemic has also changed the social order which has resulted in increased ownership, media access and communication effects. In the process, the communication effect is related to the level of media literacy regarding Covid-19 information which is on the media agenda. The formulation of the problem in this research is how high the level of media and information literacy for Covid-19 is in Lampung province. This research is examined through agenda setting theory, social category theory and stages of media literacy. The research method used is quantitative descriptive. The sampling technique used in this research is cluster sampling. Based on Yamane's formula, a sample of 100 people was determined. By using cluster sampling, the respondents for this study were represented by 20 respondents each from 5 districts in Lampung Province. The research results show that the level of media and information literacy for Covid-19 is 52.45% or is in the medium category. The results are understandable as the extensive reporting on COVID-19 over three years has enhanced public information literacy, encompassing various aspects from information needs to sharing capabilities. However, disparities in information reception exist due to factors like the shift from personal to media interactions because of mobility restrictions, the public's unpreparedness for the pandemic's impacts which reprioritized media access needs, and demographic factors like education and economic levels influencing information acceptance.

Abstract

This study explores the role of interpersonal communication in disseminating and introducing the Elektronik Siap Nikah dan Hamil (Elsimil) application to Family Assistance Teams (TPK). This study, a novel piece of research, comprehensively analyzes interpersonal communication in the diffusion of Elsimil, a digital innovation in public health for accelerating stunting reduction, initiated by BKKBN. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 10 informants over three months. The findings indicate that interpersonal communication plays a crucial role throughout all stages of innovation diffusion: knowledge (introducing and providing initial information), persuasion (building interest and positive attitudes), decision (encouraging adoption), implementation (guiding practical use and addressing challenges), and confirmation (ensuring sustainability). Family planning counselors serve as early adopters and opinion leaders, facilitating application adoption and bridging technical and psychological barriers faced by TPK cadres. As the first group trained on Elsimil, counselors become the primary point of reference for hesitant cadres who lack sufficient understanding. Theoretically, this study enriches Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory for the implementation of digital technology in public health services, specifically in stunting prevention programs. It demonstrates how interpersonal communication and opinion leadership accelerate the adoption of innovation in community-based health interventions. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for BKKBN and program implementers to enhance family planning counselors' digital literacy and interpersonal communication competencies, ultimately strengthening the effectiveness of stunting prevention initiatives through improved cadre support systems.   Keywords: Elsimil Application; Family Planning Counselors; Innovation Diffusion; Interpersonal Communication; Stunting Prevention
