Abstract

Preschool-aged children are at risk of various health problems. This community empowerment initiative aims to conduct early detection of health issues in young children while simultaneously educating teachers on simple anthropometric measurements. The activities included mentoring in child anthropometric measurements, health examinations, and discussions of health examination results. The findings from the examination of 58 young children revealed that the most common health problems were dental caries and tonsillitis. Additionally, teachers demonstrated competence in conducting anthropometric measurements, but their capacity for data interpretation needs further improvement. Parental involvement, teacher capacity enhancement, and regular health check-ups are crucial factors in monitoring children's health.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental health in children is crucial for their growth, development, and academic achievement. The high prevalence of mental health disorders in children necessitates efforts to enhance parental knowledge via more accessible channels. This study aims to evaluate parental perceptions of children's mental health and assess the impact of online mental health education on parental knowledge. Methods: A quasi-experimental design using a single-group pre-test and post-test method was conducted with 52 participants. The intervention consisted of synchronouz mental health education delivered via an online meeting platform, with data collected through pre- and post-test evaluations using Google Forms. Results: 53.8% of parents were concerned about their child's mental health, yet 40.4% were unsure about their capacity to recognize symptoms, and 78.8% had never conducted early screening. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated no statistically significant difference in knowledge scores before and after the intervention (p=0.177). However, the mean score increased slightly from 6.71 (SD=1.05) in the pre-test to 6.98 (SD=1.29) in the post-test. The effect size (r = -0.64, 95% CI = [-0.91, -0.37]) shows an impact classified as moderate to large. Conclusion: While many parents are concerned for their children's mental health, many cannot recognize symptoms and have not undertaken early screening. Although statistical significance was not achieved, the observed effect size and knowledge improvement in specific individuals highlights online education's potential to enhance parental understanding of children's mental health. It is imperative to advance the exploration of interactive and adaptable learning strategies to maximize the effectiveness of educational interventions.

Abstract

Non-communicable disease (NCD) necessitates prolonged continuous intervention that impacts enormous morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic repercussions on a global scale. Community and private primary healthcare facilities need to be more interconnected, although they have significant roles in NCDs' prevention and care. Aims: To enhance the community's competencies regarding NCDs through the involvement of private primary care. Method: The method used was a quasi-experiment (non-control, nonrandomisation) with the 'Aisyiyah Clinic involvement as the mentor for participants. The study involved 41 faith-affiliated cadres from 'Aisyiyah and Nasyiatul Aisyiyah, Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. Interventions include health education sessions on NCDs and essential health examinations for NCD screening practices. The study evaluation was conducted using a pre-test and post-test of knowledge and skill observation checklist, followed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank, Spearman, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: Education and practices increased participants' knowledge of NCDs (p=0.000) with a large effect size (r=0.50). The cadres also observed that they could perform their competencies in these examinations (100%). Additionally, there was no significant difference in knowledge (pre-test and post-test) based on cadres’ demographic background (p>0.05). In contrast, there was a significant difference in initial knowledge (pre-test), according to both duration of time as a cadre (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Health education and practices effectively increase health cadres' knowledge and skills related to NCD control. Simultaneously with continuous community empowerment, the study findings highlight a need for better integration between public health initiatives and private sector resources to sustainably improve the community health workers' role.
