Abstract

Introduction: The use of social media as a channel for political communication is becoming increasingly common in modern society. Some users seek virality to influence public opinion. Among them, some employ manipulative tactics to achieve virality, which can undermine deliberative democracy. Unfortunately, the impact of manipulative virality on deliberative democracy has not received sufficient attention. This study aims to describe how manipulative virality poses a threat to deliberative democracy. The researchers focus on five social media platforms--X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, because Indonesians widely use these for political communication. Methods: The researchers use a qualitative, exploratory approach, focusing on relevant documents using interpretive analysis and observation to study of X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Findings: Research identifies four methods of manipulative virality that undermine deliberative democracy: using fake accounts, deploying bots, paying buzzers, and spreading hoaxes. These practices threaten and subvert deliberative democracy by creating false appearances of support, potentially distorting public opinion, misleading policymakers, and damaging society. Manipulative virality often benefits wealthy groups, as they can afford to pay buzzers and deploy bots, unlike poorer groups. Originality: This study explores the role of social media in public discourse to promote deliberative democracy. It offers novelty by presenting an in-depth analysis that digital media has the potential to undermine deliberative democracy due to the use of bots, fake accounts, and paid influencers. The findings emphasize the importance of preserving authentic public dialogue while addressing unethical practices that manipulate social media for personal or political gain.

Abstract

This study aims to explain factors that influence people to continue disseminating the infodemic even when they have a high level of education. This research uses a qualitative approach with data mined using interview techniques and literature studies. The qualitative research gathered data through in-depth online interviews and literature studies. Key informants, including experts in Communication Science, Religion, Social Media, and Health, were interviewed using semi-structured interviews, allowing for flexible yet focused discussions. The study's findings identify 12 factors contributing to the continued spread of the infodemic, including social media ownership, a critical attitude towards information, information-seeking skills, emotional maturity in processing information, the demands of daily life, the frequency of social media use, social media friend networks, efforts to enhance digital literacy, a tendency to avoid seeking information clarification, a narrow interpretation of religious teachings, belief in conspiracy theories, and specific underlying motives. This research contributes significantly by shedding light on this pressing issue, offering insights crucial for formulating evidence-based policies and interventions to enhance digital literacy and effectively counter the infodemic. Future researchers should concentrate on investigating motive aspects. Moreover, rigorous statistical tests in quantitative research can also be considered to enhance the depth of analysis, providing a quantitative measure of the influence exerted by each identified factor.

Abstract

Oral health is essential for overall human well-being. Everyone, regardless of age—whether young or old—must maintain good dental hygiene, including kindergarten children in rural areas. Unfortunately, knowledge of oral health and tooth-brushing skills among kindergarten students in these regions remains inadequate. To improve their understanding of dental health and proper brushing techniques, effective educational methods are required. In response to this issue, a community service team implemented a multi-method approach targeting two groups: primary and secondary beneficiaries. The primary group consisted of kindergarten students, who were engaged through interactive counseling, demonstrations, question-and-answer sessions, singing, games, rewards, and practical tooth-brushing exercises. Meanwhile, for the secondary group—teachers and parents—the team utilized persuasive communication via WhatsApp messages, providing oral health education and encouraging parents to consistently remind their children to practice proper dental hygiene daily. Based on the program evaluation, the multi-method approach was proven effective in enhancing both the knowledge and skills of kindergarten children in maintaining oral health. Furthermore, it contributed to creating an environment that fosters healthy behavior among children. Therefore, the team believes that dental health practitioners and educators can adopt similar methods to achieve optimal outcomes in promoting oral health awareness.

Abstract

Objective: COVID-19 in Indonesia spawned a second wave in June-August 2021 and packed the hospitals, making the COVID-19 patients with mild or no symptoms have to self-isolate at home. However, the patient's condition often changed rapidly and worsened, so regular monitoring was needed to prevent death during self-isolating. The BNPB DIY Health Care Task Force formed a Telemedicine Team to monitor patients online with detailed information on doing self-isolation safely at home. Its Media Team created educational videos and posters as effective educational media. Contents: The Media Team consisted of presenters, scriptwriters, videographers, and graphic designers. It determined the topic of the content of the video messages and posters based on what information is needed and must-known by the patient during self-isolation. After that, the coordinator and manuscript writer collected evidence-based data and relevant regulations. The information included the emergency signs during self-isolating and medicines needed to prepare. It also had information on how to measure body temperature and oxygen levels using an oximeter, use a blood pressure meter, do prone position if short of breath, sunbathe, and tips on training the sense of smell in patients with anosmia. As a volunteer for the BNPB DIY Health Care Task Force Thickening to patients who were self-isolating at home, the doctor conveyed all the information compiled. The duration of the video was 1-5 minutes, equipped with supporting footage. The video results were uploaded through the BNPB DIY Task Force's Instagram and Youtube accounts and also shared through Whatsapp so that self-isolating patients could easily access and download them. Information also visualized the material in the form of posters. From the evaluation, the patient felt helped and understood all the information in the message and could practice it easily. Tujuan: Covid-19 di Indonesia telah memunculkan gelombang kedua pada Juni-Agustus 2021 dan menyebabkan rumah sakit penuh. Keadaan tersebut membuat pasien Covid-19 bergejala ringan atau tanpa gejala harus melakukan isolasi mandiri (isoman) di rumah. Namun, kondisi pasien kerap berubah cepat mengalami perburukan, sehingga perlu dipantau secara berkala guna mencegah kematian saat isoman. Situasi tersebut mendorong Satgas Penebalan Nakes PNPB DIY membentuk Tim Telemedicine untuk memantau pasien secara daring berupa informasi detail bagaimana melakukan sioman dengan aman di rumah, serta membuat media edukasi terkait Covid-19. Untuk keperluan tersebut, Tim Media membuat video edukasi dan poster sebagai media edukasi yang efektif. Isi: Tim Media terdiri dari pemateri, penulis naskah, videographer dan desain grafis. Tim Media menentukan topik isi pesan video dan poster berdasarkan informasi apa saja yang diperlukan dan wajib diketahui pasien selama isoman. Setelah pemilihan topik, kordinator dan penulis naskah mengumpulkan informasi berdasarkan bukti ilmiah (evidence based) dan dengan mendasarkan diri pada berbagai peraturan yang relevan. Informasi yang dikumpulkan meliputi apa saja tanda kegawatan saat isoman, obat-obat apa yang harus disiapkan, bagaimana cara mengukur kadar oksigen menggunakan oksimeter dengan benar, bagaimana menggunakan tensi meter, bagaimana mengukur suhu tubuh dengan baik, cara melakukan prone position jika sesak napas, bagaimana cara berjemur, sampai tips melatih indera penciuman pada pasien yang mengalami anosmia. Semua informasi yang disusun disampaikan dokter sebagai relawan Satgas Penebalan Nakes BNPB DIY kepada pasien yang melakukan isoman di rumah. Durasi video relatif singkat yaitu 1-5 menit, dilengkapi footage yang mendukung. Hasil video diunggah melalui akun Instagram dan Youtube Satgas BNPB DIY agar dapat diakses pasien isoman dengan mudah, termasuk didownload oleh pemantau guna dikirimkan untuk pasien isoman melalui aplikasi Whatsapp. Materi video juga divisulisasikan dalam bentuk poster. Dari evaluasi yang dilakukan, pasien merasa terbantu dan mengerti informasi semua isi pesan serta dapat mempraktekkannya dengan mudah.
