Abstract

Controlling Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) outbreaks is a complex public health challenge that requires collaboration from various stakeholders, including community health nurses. This study aims to assess the role of these nurses in managing DHF outbreaks in residential areas. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with community health nurses and direct field observations to gather comprehensive data. The findings revealed that community health nurses are crucial in preventing and controlling DHF outbreaks. Their responsibilities include educating the community about DHF prevention, identifying and managing mosquito breeding sites, and implementing environmental interventions. They also play a vital role in early detection of DHF cases and coordinate with government and health institutions for effective prevention and control measures. Furthermore, community health nurses provide counseling and training to raise awareness about DHF dangers and promote preventive actions. They are instrumental in encouraging community participation in environmental management to reduce mosquito habitats. This study emphasizes the need for ongoing support and capacity building for community health nurses to enhance their effectiveness. In conclusion, collaboration among health workers, communities, and stakeholders is essential to control dengue outbreaks and minimize the disease's impact.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a turning point for the global healthcare system, driving the rapid and extensive adoption of telemedicine technology. The study aims to evaluate the impact of telemedicine technology in responding to pandemics and its potential in healthcare reform. Through a systematic study of literature on articles, books and other documents, the study investigates the application of telemedicine in a variety of healthcare contexts, including chronic disease management, primary consultation, and triasis of COVID-19 patients. The results show that telemedics has successfully facilitated the continuity of health care in pandemic conditions, reduced the burden on health facilities, and minimized the risk of virus spread. The use of telemedicine also extends access to health care especially for patients in remote areas or with limited mobility. Furthermore, it was found that technological innovations and regulations that support telemedicine have accelerated its integration into the health system. Despite challenges, such as data security issues and limitations in physical inspections, innovative solutions and policy frameworks have been developed to overcome such obstacles. The study recommends increased investment in telemedicine technology and training for health professionals as a long-term strategy to improve the resilience of health systems.
