Abstract

Introduction: Measles-Rubella (MR) Vaccination coverage is important in eliminating Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). In 2023, Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regencies recorded 98.59% and 97.63%, respectively. We conducted campaign activities, introduced the Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine, and implemented educational efforts crucial for controlling measles, rubella and CRS. A collaborative educational program was organized to improve the quality of promotive and preventive education provided to health workers and elementary teachers. Aims: To enhance the knowledge of health workers and elementary teachers regarding measles, rubella, CRS and elimination strategies in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental, non-randomized design with no control group. The participants were selected from all primary health care centers and selected elementary schools in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. Before and after a multi-modal educational program, knowledge of participants was measured using questionnaire and analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: We included 72 health workers and 8 elementary teachers in Kulon Progo and Gunungkidul Regency. The results indicated an increase in knowledge among health workers regarding these topics. However, elementary teachers did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements in knowledge level, likely due to the small number of participants and a general lack of knowledge about these subjects among teachers. Conclusion: Multi-modal intervention enhanced the knowledge of health workers and elementary teachers about measles, rubella, CRS, elimination strategies of these diseases in two regencies of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Therefore, it is essential that public health authorities should prioritize continuous and accessible education programs for them

Abstract

Introduction: Prevention through campaign activities, Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine introduction, and education play an essential role in controlling rubella and, eventually, Congenital Rubella Syndrome. A Community Engagement program was arranged collaboratively to improve the quality of promotive, preventive education by health workers and cadres and to improve the advanced management of Congenital Rubella Syndrome for health workers. Methods: A multi-method engagement program was conducted in collaboration with Imogiri II Bantul Primary Health Centre from March to October 2023. The program aimed to implement various activities involving health workers and health cadres. A descriptive study using the survey method was conducted to assess the knowledge level about Congenital Rubella Syndrome among health workers and cadres before and after the program. The survey included multiple-choice yes-no questions, and the results were analyzed using the McNemar test for paired nominal data with SPSS version 27. Results: We included 25 health workers and 28 health cadres. The results showed a significant increase in health worker's knowledge regarding the impact of Congenital Rubella Syndrome on various organs, including the brain, eyes, ears, heart, and child growth and development (p-values: 0.004, 0.004, 0.0004, 0.021, and 0.008, respectively). There was a notable improvement in health cadres' knowledge concerning the impact of CRS on the brain, eyes, ears, heart, child growth and development, and the child's quality of life (p-values: 0.007, 0.000, 0.000, 0.001, and 0.000, respectively). Conclusion: The community engagement program helps to enhance the knowledge of health workers and cadres concerning the impact of Congenital Rubella Syndrome on patients.
