Abstract

This research investigates the influence of cultural factors, social norms, and social support on the spread of infectious diseases in communities in Indonesia through a quantitative analysis. The structural equation model (SEM) employed in this study examines the complex interplay between these sociocultural elements and their impact on the transmission of infectious diseases. Results indicate significant positive associations between cultural factors and the spread of infectious diseases, social norms and disease transmission, and unexpectedly, social support and disease spread. These findings challenge conventional assumptions, emphasizing the need for nuanced and culturally sensitive public health interventions. The study contributes valuable insights to the understanding of infectious disease dynamics within diverse communities and informs targeted strategies for effective mitigation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of community-based approaches in addressing infectious diseases at the local level, particularly in the city of Surakarta. This approach involves community empowerment through the engagement of local health cadres and the formation of environmental awareness groups that actively carry out disease prevention activities. The method used is a case study with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the community-based approach has successfully increased awareness and behavioral changes among the public in adopting healthy lifestyles, such as maintaining environmental cleanliness and independently conducting case tracking. Moreover, the strengthening of social capital and local leadership has proven to be crucial factors in the success of the program. Challenges encountered include low digital literacy among cadres and the general community, limiting the use of information technology. In conclusion, the community-based approach is an effective strategy to complement formal healthcare services in controlling infectious diseases. This model is recommended for replication with adjustments tailored to local socio-cultural characteristics.
