Abstract

Indonesia is ranked second in the number of Tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide. TB patients and their families experience a complex burden. Hence, support and strengthening TB medication supervisors (Pengawas Minum Obat/ PMO) role is needed.  The aim of this study was to enhance the Community Health Center (CHC)-based PMOs’ role by improving their knowledge and strengthening peer group support. The method used was an action research cycle with four stages. The diagnosis stage was carried out by consensus decision making group with CHC to determine priority problems, namely the need to increase basic knowledge of TB and its treatment. Optimizing peer group was also necessary, as the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 showed that more PMOs from patient families have psychological problems than cadres.  The planning stage was conducted by preparing educational sessions and creating educational media. The action stage was a quasi-experimental (without control, non-randomization)—an educational talk show provided by the TB program manager, pulmonologist, and psychiatrist. Peer groups are also activated by triggering shared media education and discussion. At the evaluation stage, knowledge was measured by giving pre and post-tests (n= 21, total sampling). The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon's Signed Ranks Test showed that participants' knowledge had increased significantly (p=0.000; r=0.59). In conclusion, education can increase PMO knowledge as an initial step to strengthen their role in supporting the success of TB treatment. Innovation, cross-sector assistance, and support are needed to enable the PMO to succeed in the TB program.

Abstract

[Effect of Variation of Blue Gas Flow Rate on Chemical Properties of Carbon Thin Films Deposited Using Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Technique for Biosensor Applications] Biosensors are important devices in the field of medical diagnostics. The high cost due to their single-use is a challenge that must be overcome. The solution that can be done is modifying the surface of the biosensor electrode. Modifying the electrode surface is very important in increasing the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor. Modification of the biosensor electrode surface can be done by depositing a thin layer of carbon. The surface properties of the modified layer determine the performance of the biosensor. This study aims to analyze the effect of the blue gas flow rate on the chemical bond composition of the deposited layer for biosensor applications. The deposition technique used is the Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Technique. The substrate used is a glass substrate. The main gases used are Blue Gas and Argon Gas. The role of Blue Gas is a carbon source, while Argon Gas is a carrier gas. The Argon gas flow rate is kept constant (25 mL/minute), while the Blue Gas flow rate is varied: 9.6 mL/minute, 24.1 mL/minute, and 48.2 mL/minute. Characterization of the deposited layer is carried out using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR). The main chemical bonds observed were C=O, and C=C in the resulting carbon thin film. The absorbance intensity of the C=C chemical bond tended to increase at a Blue Gas flow rate of 24.1 mL/min and decreased at a Blue Gas flow rate of 48.2 mL/min. While the C=O chemical bond tended to decrease as the Blue Gas flow rate increased into the chamber.
